At the same time, the traction battery lost only 23% of its capacity
Not only Toyota cars can be extremely reliable: the experience of the owner of a black Tesla Model S 90D from the UK shows that the car is quite capable of driving more than 500 thousand km on the original traction battery, and at the same time the battery itself will still be in good condition good condition.
Electric car owner — Paul — works in a private taxi service. The car was purchased in 2016 as part of a promotion: then Tesla offered customers free lifetime charging. Paul estimates that he saves between $9,000 and $12,000 a year on electricity costs alone.
The mileage at the moment is 692 thousand km. The owner says he uses Supercharger charging stations several times a day and always charges the traction battery to 100%. At the same time, the traction battery lost only 23% (this is approximately equivalent to a range of 105 km) of its capacity.
How does the car itself feel at such a mileage? The car was painted several times, and soon after the purchase the autopilot failed, causing the car to crash into traffic cones. But no repair work was required, the owner only performs preventive maintenance.
