Tesla is actually working towards 1M miles lifetime on drive-train and battery. They also provided battery upgraded for the original Tesla roadster, long after it ended production.

Hybrids are a waste of time. Part of the reason you go electric is to get rid of maintenance. A hybrid is the worst of both worlds. Either full electric or full gasoline - none of this half assed stuff.
Could have been my exact words. Why would you want the complexity, heat, weight, cost, maintenance and lifespan of a gasoline engine in a car that does not need it? And don't even start on hybrids that can not be plugged in to charge, only charge using the gasoline engine. That got to be the absolute most expensive electricity you could possibly use for charging.
