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."

That's nuts, isn't it. An only nine year old car needed 14 engines? Works out to over one a year, that seems excessive. At the low end of $10k per, it's $140,000, and the batteries, $40,000! On top of the cost of the car and whatever regular maintenance there is, it sure doesn't sound affordable and/or economical. These people can take their 'electric' vehicles and shove them up their ass. Sideways!
