High Milage Model 3

- Start date
tbh it still drives as if I picked it up yesterday. I’ve had to get my axles lubricated, but other than that and tires, any service has been self inflicted.
And I’m still showing around 310 for an (estimated) 100% charge. I’ve only charged it up to 100 two or three times, usually stopping around 70% but going up to 85 pretty often.
I’ve also done 90% of my charging at Superchargers and not had any adverse effects which I find interesting.

I was having a creaking sound coming from the rear axle when I accelerated. I took it in and service said it had to be lubricated due to high Milage.

Man, tires don’t last me long. Probably 15-20k each set.how many tire changes? My rears I think won't make it to 20K (but I do hard accelerate a lot)

15-20k per set of tires, wow! Are these high performance or all-season high performance? I spend about 800-1000 on good 18' all-season tires rated between 50-60,000 miles at Costco. I do 25-30,000 miles a year, $1,000 on tires every 8-10 months would be alarming for me. Thanks for sharing your experiences to date. I'm still on the fence with the Model 3 as a work vehicle. I'm trying to get an idea of what real world range would be in winter here.
Thanks! That’s actually what I’ve been using for the last couple of sets. Pirelli P7 cinturato all seasons.
They still only last 15-20, but with the warranty they are 60-70% less expensive upon replacement.
Also, my driving style wears through tires like a hot knife through butter. I’m putting hundreds of miles on them a day usually and going from highway, to dirt road to gravel to sometimes no road. So that should all be considered when analyzing my tread Milage.
I have noticed though, that whether I am in standard acceleration or chill mode makes no difference in tread life. I have done full sets with each and get just about the same milage.

Thanks so much for sharing. How has your suspension been? Any inspection on those components? Dirt road driver here as well.
I see your car is RWD. Would you mind sharing an approx VIN and purchase date?
Sounds like 100k should be later this week
Tires till 91k for the most part is just great. Safe travels.

It's so easy to burn through rubber in Teslas.... I'm hoping for long tire life on the originals.

My VIN is just under 12000. I was a day one res holder, placed my order around 3/20/18 and received delivery on 03/30/2018.
I had to get a control arm replaced around 60k, but that was because I took it through a stream in the redwoods that the park rangers cautioned me against. Luckily though, Tesla upgrades their parts pretty consistently (or so I was told in SLC where it was fixed) and since mine was older than the currents, they fixed it for free.
I’m thinking I’ll hit 100k in late Sept or early Oct and will have everything checked out again then.

I think you're right about at the top of the mileage leader board.... You ought to shoot a photo of your odo to claim your position!
Just tweet @teslamiles with your odo photo
