      @JosephHowes2003 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The anti EV crowd is incredibly dumb. They're obsessed with finding whatever isolated incidents of issues to claim loudly that they are garbage and discourage people from buying them. There are issues that should be improved on but it's a new industry. The cars are for the most part fantastic but of course the public charging network still needs improvement and something should be done to encourage affordable repair options. Although since companies like Tesla seem to use refurbished packs for replacements usually, I don't understand why the cost for replacement isn't about the same as it would cost to fix your original pack since they take it to make more refurbished packs. It seems like it would be acceptable for it to cost a little more but not $9,000 to $15,000. You'd think that they would want to keep the cost down as much as possible to encourage more buyers of the cars. Even if they broke even on the repairs it would likely be worth it to them.

      12v battery was replaced with ohmmu 12v lithium about 100k miles ago. So we'll see how long it will last.
      The 2018 X doesn't have high regen. So we use the brakes more. I replaced the front pads at 172k and the rear pads at 198k. However, it didn't need it. I had taken it apart to check and maintain and figured since I have it out...might as well replace. Rotors still looked great.

It was so frustrating! 70k for a car with software, and I'm being told to check the DIY forums 😭 I could see if they solved the problems the first time, but they pretended not to know about the common issues. Three times, I went back for an upper control arm issue. Five times for a window that kept having water come in. Three times for a seat safety fault. Then, they installed a retrofit option. Weeks later, the car stopped going to sleep-battery warnings and failing to charge. After blaming my home setup, they decided on the 4th trip to leave the car connected overnight. They replaced the car's computer and said it was fixed. It wasn't. I had to go back again, then was told that the trunk strut I installed was the issue. I then showed them that they installed it. They then went back to the drawing board. What they came up with to solve the problem was to disconnect the trunk I paid for lol

      You also have to account for the fact 200K miles in an ICE vs an EV is comparing apples to oranges. In an EV, a battery replaces thousands of moving parts that degrade on an ICE vehicle, and when you see very little to no degradation on these batteries in 100K miles, there's no ICE equivalent example.

    My 2019 LR Model 3, bought in September of 2019 has 74k miles, not sure how to see the actual degradation but when fully charged it shows about 280 miles of range instead of 315 which honestly it never really every showed even when new from what I remember. It seems like its been about the same for several years now. My first set of original tires I only got 30k miles out of, my second set I just changed at 73k so much better on the second set and they probably could have gone another 3k miles but they were feeling rough and were noisy. I love mine and will not give it up. Buying a used Tesla is the best bang for your buck ever in my opinion. I know a buy that bought a 2021 with 30k miles on it for under $20k with the tax incentive, what a freaking deal. Its a rear wheel drive lowest model but still, what a deal. Oh they only thing other then tires is I did have to have the 12v battery replaced about 6 months ago and Tesla came to my house and replaced it for $116 total including install. I also replaced the cabin filter. Mine drives like new as well.

Now I wish I’d known how to do it on old cars where I had to swap out with a spare.

    I have the same year M3, 83k miles. The tires have to be changed about every 2-3 years. I had a series of screw punctures, but it was because I worked near a construction site. I brought the screws to the construction foreman and they compensated me. My tire shop says don't use the "tire fix" cans because it ruins the tire for repair. I use Continentals, which are creeping up to $200 per. For battery degrade, I am probably nearing that %10 figure.

    When supercharging from 0-100%, did he look at the kWh used to charge the battery or the kWh the battery gained? I know that the efficiency isn't 100%, and some energy will be used in transition from the charging stall to the battery. My 2022 M3LR is at 145k miles, and when I drive from 100-0%, I use up 63 kWh. The original was ~78.7 kWh (220 Wh/mi × 358 mi = 78,760 kWh).

    2018 M3LR. I'm at 186k and will hit 200k this year. The degradation was 9-10% since 100k but recently got a little worse. The car lived most of its life on daily supercharging but the last few years have been on a wall connector at home except for road trips. The only issue I had was that the 12v died at around 180k and it took out one of the body control modules. I had the plastic underbelly replaced while I was there too. The total service was about $1300. Other than that, I haven't touched the car besides tires. I put continental tires on it every 50k miles. The insides wear on all 4 tires so I could probably use an alignment and might get more than 50k each set. My lifetime watt hours per mile is around 270.

    I was told Tesla cars wear out tries quick but I had the opposite experience. My 2013 Cadillac ATS wore out tires in 20k miles and they are almost slick by then. My 2022 Tesla Model 3 LR came with those same tires in the same size and they lasted 30k and still had tread just showing a bit or red on the gauge. The difference is the ATS ran them at 36 PSI and the Model 3 runs them at 42 PSI. Could that really make them last 1/3 longer? Both cars wore the tires nice a level with no excessive edge wear but the ATS just ate them up.

      Bathroom break, short walk, Kanye eat the fast food sandwich I just bought before pulling into the supercharger. I rarely spend more than 20 minutes charging while in a road trip.
