    My Tesla Model 3 has 117,565 miles with 215 mi estimated range and this video about a Model 3 with 125,678 miles and estimated 180 mi Range:


    This week we get an update from our long time friend Dobson who has been driving for Uber for over 8 years. He drives 6 days a week, 300 miles a year. Until last year that meant fueling his Toyota Camry nearly every single day, while changing his oil twice a month. In 2022, Dobson purchased a lightly used 2019 standard range Model 3 Plus. The $53,000 price tag was far more than he had ever spent on a car, but the savings in fuel and maintenance immediately began paying dividends. After a little more than 12 months and 120,000 miles on the odometer, the unthinkable happened to his Tesla. The high voltage batteries life came to an abrupt end.
