When I tell my Uber passengers that my car has 250, 000 miles they always ask me how many batteries have you gone through lol

[fergyspoolshots]

If the batteries are holding up well after all these years then it’s time to bump up the warranty period in years and miles to show their confidence. Bump it up to 150K miles and 15yrs and they’ll get a lot of takers.

A friend bought a Prius the first year they came out. He still drives it today with the original batteries. Five years ago he calculated he had saved enough on gas to equal the price of the car.

Even if I sent this video to all my critic friends, they still refuse to believe the facts. They’d rather continue to believe lies and misinformation. I’ve tried to reason facts with them and they don’t want to even try to change their opinion. So frustrating.

Listening to this while driving in full self-driving in my 2020 Model 3 long range with 209, 000 miles. Additional info... I charge daily to 90% based on the original daily limit.

[kazirx]

I used to drive a lot, my model 3 has 275, 000.00 miles and I am very happy with it. It's drive like new and I had to change tires and basically that's it I did and few other minor issues

21 3LR with 105k miles. It still displays about 305 miles on the guess-o-meter when charged to 100%. When it is time for a battery replacement, the cost to replace it will be much cheaper than buying a new vehicle. The other components have been really robust with only a 12v battery replacement and a rear trunk latch replacement. Of course I have had to replace tires, but that is normal maintenance items.

I brought a 2018 Chevy volt, just to get a taste of an electric vehicle. Put almost 100 k on it with very little battery degradation over almost 7 years, just traded it in on a new Chevy equinox Ev.

I was the operations manager for a small startup company contracting for delivery and we had six Chevy bolts. We push those cars to the max delivering all over Michigan from Detroit to Rochester and Saint Clair Shores to Ann Arbor. We would tactically switch cars to get a car back on the charger and get the driver into a fresh car so that the battery on the previous car would be up for the next driver when they would come in later. The cars were mostly 2017 model year. When I was laid off, each car had about 180, 000 miles. The only thing we did was tires. We might have done the brakes once on a car because the brakes corroded from not being used. I believe we also did a wheel bearing on one of the cars. The only real wear item was the tires. The energy efficient tires are complete trash and really dangerous if it rains. My recommendation with an electric, especially in Michigan is all wheel drive.

My 2018 3 had a defective pack. Swapped out in 3 hours at 62, 000 miles. Totally covered under warranty.

[cavcoproductions]

My 2020 Model Y performance is almost at 100, 000 miles and at around 14% degradation. When charging from 0-100% it takes about 65 KW of power. I've never been able to get close to the Tesla EPA range numbers, so I always use the consumption app which seems to be pretty accurate. At a constant 75 mph I'll be lucky to get around 200 mi of actual range and at 80-85 mph I'll get around 170 mi of range so its not the best but it is what it is.

[thegzak]

My old Model S in the Netherlands has 393k miles, still on the original battery. I think the battery is at 72% capacity, which isn’t the end of the world, but the charge speed is quite a bit lower than when it was new.

[LazyGrayFx]

2016 Model S 90d here. So far replacements have been infotainment display when digitizer was separating from LCD, battery fuse replacement, 12v battery replacement and rear view mirror degrading/fuzzy/spotty replacement. Battery full charge shows 330 miles. Mostly city driving in TX heat. While it only has 50k miles, it's also 8 years old, and I am impressed overall. Home 220v 30a regular charging is set to 80%, I do 100% for long trips and try not to get below 15% before charging. It has unlimited charging grandfathered in, I think I will just replace the battery when the time comes, that would still be cheaper than new car, whether gas or electric. I would love to see some battery reconditioning services opening up where only worst offending cells get replaced.

11.00 To be fair, cars used as taxis will all do far more than the average in Europe, the company I worked with would do around 275K miles in their cars over a 3 year period and then change them, not because they were broken and no longer working, but because it was felt that they had already paid for themselves by then, and we liked to run a newer fleet, these cars were pool cars, so more than one driver, which meant they were not as well looked after as a single driver car. Mostly we ran Škoda's. EVs were still a bit of a problem for us as a company, only because of range, they often do airport runs which leave little time for charging. However, EVs are used for our local cars already, and save them a lot of money and down time in maintenance and fuel costs.
We were the first company in our area to have EVs as a part of our fleet.

If you have a Tesla out of warranty with a faulty battery you can source a low mileage replacement here in the UK with warranty for around £3, 500- £4, 500 (M3 long range) an older MS even cheaper. Battery modules to repair for around £300-£400 each. You can then sell the faulty pack for a £1, 500 or split it into modules and make a bit more. Same as any older vehicle with an expensive replacement part from the manufacturer you go down the specialist independent route.
As a side note- a friend just scrapped a 128, 000 mile 10 year old VW diesel with a broken turbo that was going to cost £3, 800 to repair, he won’t go for an ev as they don’t last long enough 😅

I'm sure nobody will choose to replace their battery on +/- 12 yo car at official dealer service center for 17K. 3rd party shops would do that for 6K in 4 hours (4.5K used (but good and tested) battery pack and 1.5K labour). At least here in Europe. This is how it's done on old, used, high millage cars...There's also lots of workshops that replace modules or even failed cells and not changing all the battery (they cheaply bring back to life same battery)

[shoothegap]

2013 Model S 335000 kms and 2014 Model S 220000 kms in Canada and a 2014 European Model S 332000 kms and finally a Norwegian 2014 Model S 165000 Kms, all on original batteries with highest degradation @17% and lowest 8%. free supercharger for life on all 4. No major issues with highest invoice 2200$ for air suspension. Highly praised and recommended.

I was an EV hater for years after EVs became political and I'm kicking myself for not giving them a chance earlier. Simply doing basic research to see many of the myths about EVs are BS would have got me to switch earlier. I've owned my 2024 Tesla Model 3 RWD for 2 months now (thanks to 0% financing and the $7500 tax credit where it made more financial sense and was cheaper than a new Honda Accord hybrid in my area) and couldn't be happier. Range anxiety and my battery needing to be replaced early were my biggest concern, but I don't think about that anymore. I drive 144-147 miles 5 days a week to get to work and have plenty of battery remaining by the end of the day. When I get home I can plug in my vehicle and wake up to a full battery every day. Electricity is super cheap with my electric company (7 cents per kwh with CPS Energy) so that makes charging so that's even cheaper than the cheap gas we have in Texas. Even better I can charge for free at work if I want to because we have free Chargepoint chargers that are free in my parking garage (my firm reimburses me for my parking pass).

Yes EVs aren't feasible for everyone if you don't have a place to reliably charge daily, drive 300+ miles a day, need to tow for hundreds of miles often, or go on roadtrips the majority of the time, but it's amazing when it fits your life. Yes people will continue to say that you'll need to replace your batteries often, tell you that your car will catch on fire, or call your car a toy, but I don't really care. It works for me 🤷‍♂

My neighbor just replaced the battery on his 2012 model S. He was upset because his range decreased to a little over 160 MI. I thought he only paid $8, 000 for the new battery. Apparently he's still gets free supercharging!

[BlackhawkPilot]

Replacing a battery for $20K at 200K miles is 10¢/mile. My Total Cost of Ownership of my BEV is approximately 35¢ to 40¢ per mile vs my diesel at almost $1 per mile. The BEV has a much better TCO with a battery replacement at 200K miles.
