My direct experience with power train sensors has been a loud noise and lots of red triangle messages that something has failed (drive motor).
Another time my direct experience with inside edge wear has been... a pop and a hiss. Then the tire pressure readout gave a red triangle to say the tire had low pressure and the number was dropping to zero. (google "tesla inside edge tire wear")
My direct experience with many flat tires has been -- tesla roadside assistance will waste the rest of your day or night. I've considered buying that aftermarket spare.
And the battery fuse went once - I got a huge red message:
"BMS_u031 Battery Fuse Requires Replacement Soon - OK to drive, schedule service"?
Turns out telsa doesn't actually KNOW if the fuse needs to be replaced - you have to bring it in (google BMS_U031) It is several hundred dollars to replace.
If your car has a 12v battery, it will eventually die. The battery is fairly expensive.
actually, most maintenance stuff is hidden away. Wish I could unhide it, even if tesla only did it when out of warranty.
