no oil changes, air filters, belts, hoses, spark plugs, coils, brake pad changes are extended way out as they use regen to slow down 90% of the time, hard hard braking uses the pads
Huh?You forgot that with regen you MUST replace tires every 12 months. Extend that and you are certainly asking for trouble. One of the things tesla doesnt mention right off the bat…

I'm confused as to why someone would need to replace their tires every 12 months due to "regen"?Huh?
That is certainly untrue. I think people confuse the reason behind tire wear. Instant torque along with a higher performance tire. People like to feel that power so more aggressive launches happen more frequently. No maintenance means people also aren't rotating the tires at proper intervals. All that combined leads to faster tire wearYou forgot that with regen you MUST replace tires every 12 months. Extend that and you are certainly asking for trouble.

Also, you can adjust the regen sensitivity from heavy to low, just for the record.
