There are Toyota's that have gone over the 1 million mile mark. The company even has a policy to buy it from you for the original list price while also giving you a brand new car/truck of the same model. They take the vehicles apart to see what lasted, what had to be replaced, etc... One of the Truck's I read about had to replace the headers like 6 times but the motor was almost entirely original otherwise.

From the post: "It's hard to believe that there's a Tesla Model S out there with nearly 1.2 million miles on its odometer, but indeed there is. And here it is.

The car, a 2014 Model S P85, has racked up 1.18 million miles so far, which works out to approximately 131,000 miles per year. Could you imagine driving that much? And doing so in an electric car, which naysayers often state can't go the distance. Well, we think this car proves that EVs can be driven a significant amount of miles per year and that the charging infrastructure, at least in some parts of the world, can support high-mileage drives."

New motor ever 71,000 miles. Wtf? That's a major expense never discussed.

A new battery every 250,000 miles. How many charges? Sounds formulaic and not realistic.

At $250,000 (no idea if accurate), and $60,000 new, that's 5 new cars plus the original. Or a new vehicle every 167,000 miles per vehicle.

None of the math is complimentary.

Edit: $360,000 is a more accurate number. Making the math far worse for the EV. Example, that's 6 EVs plus the original to do 1,000,000 miles, or a full replacement every 143,000 miles.

That's just ridiculous! No wonder they're pushing them on us. Pale replacements for the ICE vehicles. They really don't want us mobile. If you want to go anywhere, well, "That'll cost you, Mrs. Lansing." And cost you dearly.

Exactly. It's all about control and limits on mobility. They can then digitally restrict all movement by your social score and validate identity by face or other biometric.

I seriously hate this shit. I want the fucking boot off my face already!
