If you cannot afford them new, you definitely cannot afford them used.

I've heard that before for porche, but I've also heard that electric vehicles tend to require less maintenance overall since there are many fewer mechanical parts. I don't know anything about this particular model so I guess I'm wondering which holds true in this case.

Meanwhile in Australia, the cheapest one of these with 93000km on the clock is $120,000.

Only the Nissan LEAF and other early models with no thermal management on the batteries have the major range degradation problems

There’s Teslas on 200k+ miles with 88% battery health, so probably absolutely fine.
