Where have all those people gone that bleated on social media that the battery would be dead by 50k miles? Or that Hydrogen is the future? etc etc. Gone pretty quiet 👀

As a petrol head who's owned some exotic cars in the past, I'd say that the Tesla model 3 LR awd I bought from RSEV is probably my favourite. So easy to own. Effortless performance. Minimal running costs. Love it.

I’ve had EV’s now for a while and have now settled on a 2021 model 3 and a 2023 model Y. Both are standard range LFP and were bought second hand with 65,000 on the clock. They work flawlessly. I wouldn’t have done so if it were not for RSEV championing their capabilities. I’d also say they’re about 20% more efficient than other manufacturers. Keep it up guys, cheers.

Over 161k miles on my 10 year old model S still runs great!  All original battery and drivetrain too.

EV sceptic here .. but I'm impressed, especially the incredibly low maintenance costs

Literally no reason it can't do another 250K really.  It seems that it all comes down to replacing perished rubber bits.   I'm old enough to remember when 100,000 miles was a heck of a milestone for a car in the 1970s and even 1980s.<br>This has all the performance of a 1970s Hypercar that would break down every Lamppost... but it's a 5 seater Family car.  It's true progress, after decades of wringing every last drop out of  Internal Combustion engine. technology.  Step aside ICE.

Very impressive Richard! Can’t wait for the next 250k vlog! What an EV! Great reliability and proves that can do mega miles.

Electric powertrains allow a new avenue of engineering opportunities that Tesla took advantage of. Arguing against Teslas is like arguing against logic.

Doing better than my model3. In 5 years and 50k miles i've changed a headlight, foglight, rear light cluster, shutter to the radiator, driver's seat cushion, microphone, parking sensor control unit, cable from the charge port (and the charge port), 2 power struts for the boot lid, camera, undercar aero shield, and the bushings on all 4 corners failed killing a set of tyres and getting me some new control arms. To their credit, Tesla changed everything under warranty (except the tyres).
