From Torque News.
One Tesla Model 3 owner, Nishant Soni from California, has gone the distance – literally. His 2018 Dual Motor Long Range Model 3 has surpassed 180,000 miles, a milestone that’s impressive not just for an EV but for any car. What makes his journey remarkable is the minimal maintenance required to reach this point.
Sharing his story in the TESLA High Mileage CLUB Facebook group, Nishant writes:
"I am happy to report that I’ve hit 180k miles in my 2018 Dual Motor Long Range Model 3. Approximately 15% battery degradation over that time, and one somewhat major repair to the air conditioning unit: namely, superbottle replacement at about 120k costing about $2,500. The maintenance of my Tesla Model 3 involved DIY replacement of the air cabin filters every 2 years and tire changes. A small amount of creaking on full rotation of the steering wheel and creaking of the driver’s door upon opening. Much of my charging has been at work for free. Still excited to drive my Model 3 every day, and the ‘enhanced autopilot’ has made a massive improvement in my long daily commute. I am grateful to be able to drive it and looking forward to seeing how long this ride continues."
