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."

I agree. In most cases the cost of replacing the battery is nearly the cost of the original purchase price.. It would be easier/better to just buy a new one and sell the old one for parts.

Yep: https://poal.co/s/Cars/684496/1b73ba67-8197-42ab-a8bd-5afbe818e07e#cmnts

The lesson learned is a Tesla EV is good for roughly 143,000 miles before it should be completely replaced. That assumes a replacement cost of $60,000 per.

Of course, the mirror replacement indicates it should be replaced before the 72,000 mile mark. Ugh.
