I've had a Tesla M3LR for 7 months and 5,300 miles.
Ignoring the "green" issues, it is one hell of a quick "sports saloon". I swapped a Mercedes C63 for it: a wonderful V8 in an uninspired chassis and a serious drinking habit.
The Tesla does a realistic 270 miles using 80% of the available energy. 0 to 60 in 3.3 seconds, if you have the Performance Upgrade, an extra £1500.
In the UK it costs about 7p/mile, including fuel, servicing and road tax.
The financial benefit depends on fuel and tax costs in your country.

The Plus 8 costs about £1.50 a mile for much the same performance.

In the UK Tesla battery warranty is 8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period.
The "2013 destruction" was a publicity stunt. Batteries are expensive, but unless physically damaged they are repairable, just like ICE engines.
