    Hey my friend, over in the Uk and doing the same as you in an Ioniq 5, 20k miles in 6 months and touch wood no problem yet. Averaging around 380 miles real world on the 77kwt battery model. Reason why I’m watching, wife just purchased a model Y AWD long range so going to keep following and see how your car goes! Great vid keep it up 👍🏻

    • @csjrogerson2377
      @csjrogerson2377 8 месяцев назад

      I'm calling BS on the 380 miles for 77kW. This 4.94 miles/kWhr which is unusually high unless you are driving like grandad in old Rover towing a caravan. Secondly the Ioniq5 is an NMC battery and the 80/10 rule applies. If you have driven 20k miles in 6 months you are non-compliant with the manufacturers instructions. With a 77 kWhr battery you can only use 53.9 kWhr, which means you only get 266 miles at 4.94 or you now get 7.05 miles per kWhr. I suspect you are doing your best to f&*k the battery.

      That is definitely pretty troubling. I do suspect that since these high mileage teslas are work horses and time is money they are likely charging past 80% and running bellow 30% on the regular and that is way more stress on the battery. My 2013 Prius battery was toast this year and just replaced it in the spring. I have a hard time believing the Tesla battery will last way longer than that and so far, data is not too encouraging on that front. I have hear of a million mile Tesla which had 3 batteries that each lasted about 300K miles.

    Up until my current car, I was averaging over 40K miles per year. A good part of that was road time. The rest was a commute. My first car that i bought was a Subaru. My last three cars went well over 8 years and 200K before replacement. The nature of your miles is likely the difference in the wear on the wheel and seat vs my experience with my Subarus and the Ford Fusion Hybrid. Honestly, the blue is about the only Tesla color I like.

    The three batteries replaced points to the bad idea of supercharging any battery. Jamming in the electric into a battery superheats it, caused way more degradation and a battery failure much faster. Unless the batteries are already designed with excess cooling,as well as chemical components that accept the increased electric flow, it seems it would be best to leave the supercharging for only very few situations, and not very often at that. The kind of advanced structure needed to accept supercharging over and over in a battery, is likely very expensive right now. So don't expect that it will be safe soon. EV makers are cutting their investment in this industry to save whatever profits they can make. Maybe standard, low flow rate charging is the best way to go.

The Drivers seat was a quite a disappointment, looks terrible and shouldn't be that bad in my view. Tesla does improve with time, I just bought my own Model Y with HW 4 this month and am so far really happy with it, the 2023 Model Y is a significant improvement from the early ones, NVH has really improved and the cameras now are much better than the HW 3, so I think you will like a new one, however no ventilated seats yet!

    Interesting power consumption figures: 27132 kWh over 100K miles gives 3.69 miles/kWh. (Pretty good). 27132 kWh at 70% home charging at 15c/kWh and 30% at Teslas average of 40c/kWhr gives $7103. (Not far from the $6000 estimate.)
    My Mazda 2 SkyactivD would burn 1800 gals of diesel and cost $7200. The Mazda is more expensive to service, but tires last much longer and are cheaper, insurance is a lot cheaper and depreciation is less. The running costs are not dissimilar. However, the medium spec Mazda was $30,000 cheaper than the medium Tesla Y. That capital difference will never be re-couped.

    Hmm, our 2014 and 2016 Teslas have 100k miles on them, and those seats are in much better condition; could it be the vegan leather isn't as good as the real stuff?

    • @amperformance7998
      @amperformance7998 11 месяцев назад +1

      Vegan leather is usually more durable than real. That's why many "real" leather interiors use a combination. Fake leather in high-impact areas, real everywhere else.
      Of course, there are other factors. Maybe Tesla's particularl vegan leather is lower durability, or maybe it is how he uses it, how he sits, how he enters/exits, maybe even the clothes he wears...

    • @amperformance7998
      @amperformance7998 11 месяцев назад +1

      I remember when I took a 2023 MY for a test drive, I noticed that the vegan leather on the seats and steering wheel felt quite soft. Softer than my Mazda's leather interior, which I thought was nice. But maybe Tesla chose that material for initial comfort over long-term durability.

    I have 423,000 on a Toyota Hybrid that is 14 years old.. seat looks better than that as does my wheel. And it is on its original battery and engine. I put 223,000 on mine in about 4 1/2 years.. same thing.. rideshare and road trips.
    Makes me reconsider getting an EV... Having to trade in and replace a $45K car every 3 years to keep it reliable?? Probably save more money buying a cheaper car, and buying gas.

      Thing that's concerning to me is that the second refurbished battery failed shortly. And the third one is also not behaving exactly correctly. That is not a good sign.
      And I was really not impressed with the durability of that seat or the steering wheel. Possible that he just sweats a lot and it damaged the seat. Honestly what he should do is buy a fabric seat cover to put over that leather. It'll breathe better and won't cause as much sweat problems.
      Maybe coming from Toyota I just expect a car to automatically go 300,000 mi with basically no problems.
