A 2021 Tesla Model 3 in Australia has accumulated 254,619 miles, maintaining its original electric motor and battery with an exceptional state of health between 88% and 90%. The owner took the vehicle to an independent repair shop for a judder issue, where battery statistics were revealed. The car's battery has used nearly 50,000 kilowatt-hours of energy, primarily from AC charging. Despite the rigors of being used for Uber rides, the EV demonstrates impressive longevity, showing how electric vehicles can sustain high mileage with lower maintenance needs compared to gas cars.
"Today we had a quite special vehicle in our workshop: a one-owner 2021 Tesla Model 3 with 409,770 kilometers on the clock. I know, I know-there is a Model S in the UK with 600,000 kilometers and what not, but this is the highest mileage Tesla I have personally seen and had the privilege to work on."
"After driving a quarter of a million miles, the rear-wheel drive EV's lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery still has an estimated state of health between 88% and 90%. In other words, it's only lost 10% to 12% of its original capacity, which is outstanding for this many miles."
