Which Really Costs More: Charging an EV or Filling Up Your Tank With Gas?
Branden Carlson: 424,000 Miles and Counting
This also isn't the first super high mileage Tesla the world has seen. Back in 2018, we shared with you a report of a Model S P85 that racked up 420,000 miles and a Model S P90D with 410,000. Our friends over at Jalopnik also recently got their hands on the service records of a 401,000 mile 2016 Tesla Model X that racked up around $29,000 worth of maintenance and repairs—which is around $0.07 per mile.
There's also record holder Hansjörg von Gemmingen who has racked up a massive 921,889 miles (1,483,637 km) and counting. The last time we heard about Gremmingen in 2019, he had two battery packs and three drive units replaced during his 621,371 miles.
Seem to be? What's that mean? How about the heater and air conditioner? Am I supposed to believe the AC still blows cold after 425K?
Today the Tesla Battery warranty is 8 years, 100,000 to 150,000 miles depending on model. So no more 1/2 million mile new batteries!
Got 350K out of a 1963 Volvo 544. Still running when I got rid of it, just tired of dealing with rusted out floor boards and inability to find parts. I was reduced to using a rag on a stick because the wipers went out.
Some folks need to consider getting stuck in traffic, in a blizzard for several hours running the electric heater in their battery powered car.
Think about thousands of cars stuck in freezing temperatures with DEAD BATTERIES. Whatcha gonna do when the heater stops working?
Two observations;
1) EV’s are great commuter cars. Driving more than 100 miles a day? Don’t buy one.
2) I wonder how much this dude made Ubering with that car. EV’s charge a premium.
And some wonder you never see a EV car in a cannon ball run.
