How many miles on your Model S?

[Brass Guy]

There are apparently a few owners with over 100k miles.

Did you factor in the highway patrol stops and time it takes to get written up for a speeding ticket?

29,000 Miles. 90% at 226 Rated miles and 100% at 251 Rated miles/291 Ideal miles. Wrote a blogpost.

D-Pack.

Still hoping that Tesla will come back with a battery degradation warranty.

I'm at 25,000 miles after 20 Months. "A" pack shows 230 Miles rated at 90%.

You'd have to factor in sleeping somewhere.

And traffic ticket time

So I guess I need the Model S with fully reclining seats, full autonomous driving, and a radar jamming system

Of the people with high miles, would be interesting to hear what the worst issue they have had with the car (requiring service, regardless of warranty coverage).

I have just over 70k miles. In the first nine months with the car it spent ~9 weeks in service, so I should have many more miles. Worst for me was after they installed the titanium shield, they didn't tighten a bolt properly, and while getting on the highway a few months later a bracket came loose and fell loose (not off) but started to scrape the ground and make a hell of a racket. Thought I drove over something until I looked under the car. That required a tow and a few days service. Second worst would have been when the batter pack died, and my car was in a parking garage. Missed several meetings that day.

Almost over 80k. Car has been replaced as new a few times (battery, drive train...etc.)

Charger and charge port were replaced shortly after I got the car. Nothing else of significance at 58K miles.

57k running on loaner battery

I'm a bit over 32K. I just finished a 1600 mile road trip without any major problems, though the inverter on my car is buzzing at low speed. I'm taking it in in a couple weeks for them to look at it.

I have a little over 61,000 miles on the car now. The major problems I had were a drive unit that started making the droning / milling noise (replaced at 18,000 miles) and a main contactor that failed during a road trip at 30,000 miles (had the entire 85 kWh pack replaced). All four original door handles have also been replaced at this point. The full repair list is pretty long (all the way down to a dead spider in the tail light), but the majority of problems were minor and fixed in mid to late 2013.

Yikes! Any reason to believe these types of things are happening with newer cars?

Bought it used and delivered on 11-01-14 with 26K miles. Almost 40k now.
