![Tesla Taxi FULL HEALTH CHECK: Is The Battery RUINED After 430,000 Miles? [Episode 4]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/doAcNVuTnXU/mqdefault.jpg)
yay!!!
Used to own a S before getting my model 3. I miss it all the time, part of me wishes I kept the S. I've put on 145k miles on my 3 already in 5 years. So far no major problems
Spoiler alert 2 years ago he paid 14 grand for a refurb (repaired) battery - sell yours quick!
@DigiDriftZone not terribly uncommon in the model S. Battery packs in the Model 3 and Y are very reliable. 400000 miles seems to be their projected life
@@Rabs73 Actually there are several surveys now, the Model 3 cars from 2019 to 2023 anyway had a lot more failures than the Model S (newer ones we just don't know yet). From 5 to 9% depending on the survey, some dying after as little as 60k miles.
There are some theories, one of them is many of those are LFP, while it is meant to be more reliable on paper, it is also very difficult to show accurate range as the discharge curve is very flat until the very end. So Tesla recommend discharging them often or there's just no way to know your range. This is damaging to the battery but required.
And this is 3-4 year old cars, we don't have long term data as the cars are not out that long. But anecdotally we should expect them to be less reliable, not more reliable.
It seems age is also a factor, not just discharge cycles and 8 years is around when the chemistry becomes unstable and a large percentage starts to fail.
@@DigiDriftZone This is not what the data shows. I fully expect my TM3LR to last 750k miles and 20+ years on the original battery.
@@davidbeppler3032 😂incredible comment. It will last about 8 years give or take regardless of mileage
18K miles per year on average, and still running! Love, it! And don't forget that means the absence of 36 oil changes (at every 5000 miles with full-synthetic), or avoiding the use of 180 qts of oil. Nice!
no-one does 5000 mile oil changes in the UK...
@@dorsetengineering True, probably more like 10,000 miles or once a year but the average cost of an oil change is £125...they always put an hour of labour in there + oil + filter. Expect to pay double that at a 'premium' brand car dealer. Now think that there are about 37 million private cars on UK roads, all getting their oil changed once a year. The labour and costs associated with those cars will gradually disappear as we transition to EVs. I reckon that's a saving of at least £4 billion and a lot of people out of work.
James, Your Model S is looking great. I believe it will become a valuable classic car in the future. I miss my 2015 Model S, although I am very happy to have my "classic" Jan 2018 Model 3.
I hope you are looking after the coolant seals on your rear drive unit. Regular checks for cooling mixed in with the oil, and replacing the seals before they start leaking, can save you from having to pay for a new drive unit in the future.
Just passed 10 years on my S as well, 140k miles. Still feels zippy and comfortable. I don't have that "new car envy" as I did with my Nissan prior to this.
Still getting updates? Did you upgrade the Computer? Can you use FSD?
@@davidbeppler3032 pre-FSD so just the bug fixes.
I feel the same. In 45 years of ICE car ownership I used to look across at some fancy BMW or whatever and think 'one of those would be nice'....Since getting the Kia e-Niro in March 2019 I have never had those kind of thoughts. If someone gifted me a fancy petrol car in exchange for my EV I would say 'no thanks'....Having to hand over my cash to the oil billionaires for the privilege of handling a dirty, smelly pump? no thanks!. An electric drivetrain is simply a superior and far cheaper way of getting along the road and having owned some quite fancy ICE powered cars in my time, more enjoyable to drive. When I spot some expensive ICE car now I just see it is old tech and wonder why the owner would waste his/her money on it.
How many sets of tires have you bought in 10 years? I expect it to be 4.
Factory ordered Car here split new think it was in 12 miles. Low miles only 36k miles. Still drives like new and when washed and waxed more or less looks as good as it always has. My plan was to get a EV but every year they get better. While the EV’s have got better the prices have gone up. I do road trips so always said 300 miles range. But that’s becoming the norm now. Maybe the Renault 5 retro. But you get to the stage the Car owes you nothing. I wouldn’t say it’s been the luckiest Car yours.
Do you still have unlimited free charging?
I was thinking the same thing.
For the lifetime of the car, yes.
I'm hoping to make Tesla regret that decision in the decades to come ;-)
You missed the brakes but they are a routine maintenance issue rather than a fault/failure. Keep up with the good work and see you soon hopefully 🤣
Yes, indeed I did. For those that would like to know, my car has had it's discs and pads changed once, at around 120k miles I think it was. They were changed, not because they had worn away, but because they were corroded through underuse!
@@JamesCookeVlogs Just a tip for that. Once per trip use the footbrake properly, that'll keep them cleaned up.
@@JamesCookeVlogs I remember the vlog and was wondering how long the discs would last because of the little use and abundance of bad uk weather 🦆⛈️
@@cjmillsnun Tesla does that for you now on newer models.
What else needed to be changed in the 10 years?
The wife unit. First one appeared to be faulty 😂
Game over for Tesla!
Really? What’s your evidence for that?
how do you EV owners feel about having to pay road tax going forwards ?
Absolutely fine, why shouldn't we pay?
It going to happen one day and that seems fair enough to me
has tesla kept your car updated with software? Thats my worry as mine 3 is 6 years old now
Yes, they have.
However as my car is pre-autopilot, most of the current updates don't really add anything much. However I still get them (saying they are bug fixes, etc...), the maps are still regularly updated along with the games that my car can play (which due to its age isn't that many of the ones that are available on the newer cars).
@@JamesCookeVlogs Can you get the Computer updated?
The one thing that would put me off a used S is the nerfed rapid charging speeds... What sort of charge curve does this pack have now?
