I grew up in Michigan, and in the 60’s if you managed to nurse a car over the 100K mark you had really accomplished something. Today at that point they are just getting broken in.
My cars consistently die around 250K.
I do note that after 100K it’s probably cheaper to just buy a new car, given required repairs needed to reach a quarter-million miles.
...and Musk’s other venture is producing cars built to million-mile specs. No, I don’t want to return to cars of the ‘60s.
