I was thinking today of how many times my Model 3's motor has spun around. For Teslas, this is a simple calculation. With no clutch or torque converter, and no idling in traffic, the only real variable is tire size / number of tire revolutions per mile, and the manufacturer websites list this.
For my Primacy MXM4 235-45-18 tires, the number is 790 revs per mile. This, times the 9:1 gear reduction equals 7110 motor revs per mile, times your total number of miles, and that's it!
So it is ((tire revs/mile X 9) X total miles driven).
My 3 has 54,876 miles, so my motor rev count is 390 million, 168 thousand, 360 turns.
For 25,000 miles, it is 177,750,000.
For 50,000 miles, it is 355,500,000
For 75000 miles, it is 533,250,000
For 100,000 miles, it is 711,000,000 turns.
The 19 and 20 inch wheels would make slightly different numbers due to tire size difference, but not a huge change.
So yes, this means that at 60 mph the motor is turning 7110 rpm. At 80 mph, 9480 rpms. If I top out my Model 3 at its 140 mph limit, that is 16,590 motor rpms at top speed.
