Any 300,000 mile Model S drivers out there?

At this point I conclude there are no 300,000 mile Model Ss out there. Surely there are some 200k cars though?

2) I've read lots of articles about the Volt's drivetrain too. But, I can assure you I've done 101 MPH (governed) down the interstate on all electric. I've gone 4 months without buying gas. I can assure you that the GEN 1 Volt (not the new GEN 2) is purely electric for the first ~40 miles.

Yep. Gen 1 Volt when NOT in charge sustain mode drives like an EV and yes, engine doesn't mechanically drive the wheels when not in CS mode.

LOL! Man, you are so serious! I know the car has a gas engine - I've put gas in the tank before!

Yesterday I drove my Volt to a movie theater downtown. Round trip was pure electric. Got home with 9 miles left in the battery. So I drove a "PURE EV" to the movies. That's how I see it. If you don't, good for you. I recognize your right to have a different opinion than mine.

It is not a pure EV. Gen 1 Volt is a PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) w/a bias towards behaving like a BEV until it hits charge sustain mode.

Your opinion doesn't magically make it a pure EV.

Volt does not exists anymore since GM started to act as they do.

Don't waste my bandwidth with volt crap, please.

Mods,

Almost none of the responses have anything to do with the OP's subject of high mileage Model S cars. I think that subject would be a useful thread. Please banish the other BS to the pure EV dogma thread.

Thanks,

There was at least one that had 150k miles LAST YEAR. that ones gotta be over 200k now.

This is good to know. We need to know if there is any issue faced by high mileage MS cars

It does in my mind! :smile: Haven't you ever heard of mind over matter??
