German Tesla Owner’s Model S Hits 1 Million km

Hansjörg Gemmingen, a Tesla owner in Germany, has put more than 1 million km (621,000 miles) on his Tesla Model S.

Gemmingen puts as much as 600 km a day on his 2013 Model S P85. The car has held up well with the exception of the battery pack and drive unit. The battery has been replaced twice and the drive units three times. 

His current battery has half a million kilometers, while the most recent drive unit has been in service for more than 680,000 km. Most issues with the Model S were covered under the warranty.

Gemmingen doesn’t plan to retire the Model S any time soon. He wants to see the car roll over a million miles. Check out an interview with Gemmingen above.
