I keep my cars 8 < 10 years, currently my Camry Hybrid is 8 1/2 years old with a trouble-free 155,600 miles so far. After several such cars, the savings allow me to buy a Tesla now (to be delivered in 2/'15). The tesla will be much more economical to own than such economy cars due to its simplicity and availability of FREE fuel (-$2,000/yr.) due to solar power at home and at Supercharger stations. Also, there was no mention of the SRT's need for tune-ups, oil changes, and probable transmission service during normal ownership periods and certainly there would be need for further maintenance services in 8 < 10 years of ownership for equivalent mileages.
