300,000 mile Tesla

All electric car just keeps going, but how far?

 

How far will it go before what??? Needing a motor changed, battery replaced. I am sure the bearings on that motor will go at some point. Considering they are around 300 miles per charge and that will be the weak point on the car. Look at rc cars. Would kind of have to be the same thing right?

 

fixed

 

Its not on the poll but i would say 75k on the battery, 125 on the motor, 250k on the junk yard. I will talk to a few people I know that own them. See what they were told. Lol

 

1.2 million according to the article and then no one will want it...

 

I have to admit, a car with 1,200,000 miles with no drive train repair costs I would gladly let go for free.

 

They depreciate $1 for every mile driven.

Worst buy ever.

 

I know of plenty gas cars and trucks that depreciate that much as well. Range Rover, BMW 7 series and Mercedes S-Class all depreciate at over 60% in 5 years. At least with Tesla you have better fuel and maintenance savings. Tesla’s battery pack will still have 80% capacity after reaching 840,000 kilometers (521,952 miles), or nearly 1 million kilometers driven. That's only going to get better.

 

Wow thats terrible

 

interesting

 

does anyone on here actually own a tesla?
