Tesla electric vehicle long-term durability

Overview

Reports have emerged regarding the long-term durability and performance of high-mileage Tesla electric vehicles used in commercial capacities.

A 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range used as a taxi reached 250,000 miles while maintaining its original battery and motors. The battery retains approximately 84% capacity, and the vehicle has required only minor part replacements, such as an exterior speaker.

In a separate instance, a Tesla Model S 75D used for a limousine service in Australia surpassed 600,000 miles over eight years. This vehicle required one battery replacement under warranty at approximately 414,000 miles, which was swapped for a 90-kWh pack. The owner reported that the car still ‘drives like new’ despite needing some suspension and air-conditioning repairs.
