After six years on the road, this American-made EV has held up better than expected.
The owner of this six-year-old Tesla Model 3 Long Range rear-wheel drive notes the good and the bad after 150,000 miles. The review covers warranty repairs, out-of-pocket repairs, reliability, range loss and battery degradation. Driving an electric car for hundreds of thousands of miles will inevitably lead to some degradation of the high-voltage battery.
All in all, Slye said he doesn’t regret buying the car in the first place–which was a $50,000+ affair back in 2018–and that over the course of his six-year ownership, he saved over $20,000 just from not having to constantly fill up a gas car. His charging stats show an average cost of just $40 per month for home charging when taking into account an annual mileage of roughly 20,000 miles.
