I suspect service intervals are based on a miles/hours of use. Something like 1000 miles or 15 hours.

Great picture, nice (and rare) spotting!

That said, the Veyron is so 'money', you have to replace the wheels (yes, the wheels, not the tires) after every single top-speed run. The set costs about a MINI. Without tires.

Operating costs are ludicrous and it's a preposterously heavy beast, with a very limited range. So many better cars for less money IMHO...

PS- VW Group loses money on every single one of them, but they're 'building a brand'.

When you buy a car like that, its to show how much money you have . Well except for me. I want to drive that thing at 250+ mph around my private race track then jet out in my helicopter when I have had enough.
