2022 Tesla Model 3 — 50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke? — anyone dealt with this recently?

2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 71,000 miles. I just crossed 50k miles and want to log maintenance, unscheduled repairs, tire life, fuel economy, dealer visits, annoyances and whether I would buy the same car again.

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. A written buyer’s order on the 2022 Tesla Model 3 is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” Do that before you talk monthly again. This is from a 2022 Tesla Model 3 in Connecticut with 71,000 miles. Just my two cents from doing this recently. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

Update from me: I finally have sale price, fees, and trade on separate lines for the 2022 Tesla Model 3. Sleeping on the number either way.

Get the messy numbers in writing first. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2022 Tesla Model 3 so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. If they balk, that's your answer. On “50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke? —,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2022 Tesla Model 3 in Connecticut with 71,000 miles. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. If they get vague again I'm shopping the deal elsewhere.
