Tesla is currently the leader in the EV industry for good reason: their cars are quality made. A Tesla car is likely to last anywhere between 300,000 to 500,000 miles, however, this is just for the battery.
For EVs, battery degradation is the main thing that eventually needs replacement. While other parts of the vehicle will face general wear and tear, EVs don’t have as many internal parts as traditional vehicles and therefore don’t need as many tune-ups at the mechanic.
After 500,000 miles the battery will likely need a replacement, but other parts should still be in working order. The better care you take of your vehicle, the better shape it will stay in!
