Current Teslas will last at least 100k miles with recharges. That’ll only improve to the point that ICE engine replaces will be a thing of the past.
But it still takes too long to charge. I don’t want to hang around Blythe, California while that darn thing charges.
I want to pull up and lock onto a kiosk which swaps the battery in a minute.
It’s the friggin 21st century. We shouldn’t have to wait a long time to fuel a vehicle.
100k try 300 to 500k with drive units going a million. There is not much to break in an induction motor with one moving part and bearings.

100k miles is nothing a car company should brag about
100,000 is nothing. I did that in just over 2 1/2 years in my company owned F-150.
I’ve bought cars with 150,000 miles. One of them lasted till 350,000. The most expensive repair was a serpentine belt and a wheel bearing.
Not a $20,000 battery.
