Did you have to get the checkup and air filter replacement at a Tesla repair center?

[@gafiegel]

I have a May 2019 production SR+ with 73K miles. 2 Windshields and 1 set of tires are the only maintenance costs. Both of which have absolutely nothing to do with the car itself. Had tires rotated recently and suspension and original brake pads still look brand new. Home charged to 90% every night. Car gets cycled 90% to about 30% every single day. Stats app showing a 10% degradation in battery. Would love to do a range/capacity test, but I never get around to it. The absolute best road tripping car I've ever experienced. Looking forward to the rest of your series. These cars age really, really well from my experience.

[@ludicrousmodel3173]

Teslas are amazing cars, they don't seem to age. There is so much less to go wrong mechanically, and as long as the car's paint job is maintained and the interior is kept clean, I wouldn't be surprised if a Tesla could last decades.

[@tdalton854]

I think what I’d like to know is: How is the car holding up. I mean rattles, things falling off etc. /. Maintenance stuff like brakes, anything needed for the motors or drivetrain. Plus how’s the parking brake connector holding up? //. How is it getting replacement parts like the roof and door inside panel? And does a glass shop like safelite even have windshields? /. Thanks to Jordan and Kyle for these vids.

There is no parking break connector. Yes Safelite does replace the windshields, not sure about the roof. They just order the glass from Tesla.

@@jasonfournier what I meant was from a previous video where Kyle’s wife got stranded with the rear tires locked up. It was one where set was transporting a dog somewhere. I think they found there is a wire controller going to each back wheel for the parking brake. The right rear one they found was loose. Never heard if they replaced it or just reconnected. That stuff happens to any car , just being curious.

First vid I’m seeing of you and drag racing an M3 and drifting took me out. I appreciate you making the 100k mile video.

[@TheAdventureAuto]

I love your videos on your 100k mile Tesla. Tesla's are so durable overall. Bricking the battery is the only thing you can do to immediately make a Tesla go to shit. Yesterday I came across a 2021 Tesla M3P that was needing a full HVB replacement at 11k miles because it was somehow drained to nothing hundreds of times. In the EV era people need to know how to treat a battery. Just as some people don't realize you have to change oil regularly.

[@Newspeak.]

Is there a way to check how the battery was treated if you are buying used? It shouldn’t be that common but there are plenty of dumb people out there with too much money who don’t understand or don’t care how batteries work in general.

[@TheAdventureAuto]

@@Newspeak. Never buy from a place that offers no return period. Like if you buy from CarMax you can return within 30 days and they cover any issues for 90 days or 4000 miles. If you buy as is you are asking for trouble.

[@timothypeters1775]

The charging curve and another 70mph range test are top of the list. A good inspection under tree car while on a lift would be interesting. As a side note, I picked up my M3P just as you left the area. I was hoping to get a little track time with other Tesla owners. Let us know if you plan a trip back.

[@tz230]

We need someone to use Tesla as we can use Toyotas do crazy shit and no worry about it, I hope you can do next review in 50,000 miles, tell us more about about replacing tires etc, I always had Toyotas dec 2021.

At 70k miles on an early-ish 2018 tent built 3 and a lot of abuse (not as much as yours), it is holding up just fine. 0 issues, rattles, etc. Only changed the cabin filters due to fires, added washer fluid, and swapped tires. Nothing else.

[@ryanpetree6475]

Im much more interested in the 200k mile mark, that's typically when an ICE engine starts to fall apart and needs engine or transmission work or total rebuild/swap. If the battery is the only thing that shows signs of wear then that would solidify my want of a fully electric daily driver. I will take a degrading battery with 50% of its life left than an ICE engine that needs gaskets, valve springs, piston rings, timing belt, water pump, the list goes on. Not to mention issues with transmissions!

[@olemissjim]

@11:17 you say you picked the car up in Sept 2020 but you got it in 2019, that was the last year of the Tesla Federal tax credit and Sept 31 was the last day to take delivery and get the 2 years /unlimited miles of free supercharger access. I know because I picked mine up one day before you. I have Aug build 2019 sleeper performance. The 18” Aeros are significantly better for normal driving. I have had 2 x 12v battery replacements and upgraded the M4MX to Pilot 4S all season in a 245mm /18. Huge improvement there. I got 41k miles of free supercharger before it ran out. I’m at 42k now and I’m in Orlando Fl if you want to compare a 43k stealth to your 100k PSP.

[@MCSMIK]

Your drivers b pillar trim looks to be coming off? How come no issues with rear lights, I had 6 replacements now as they use get full of water - maybe you didn’t care to notice. I’m honestly not worried much about battery going wrong on this car but all the little things that go wrong are annoying. I had the car computer replaced as it was completely crashing. New display as backlight was dying (from new). Did you do brake cleaning? I gather not given Alisa’s recent adventure with the brakes? How are the door seals, as mine all fell off and had to be replaced. Wind noise also increased massively since 2019. I love the car, but it’s not been trouble free at all (I recorded 19 issues and more than 20 service visits in total). I am in UK

@@olemissjim I’m figuring it is not a warranty item or he would have mentioned it. A windshield is one thing, but I thought Tesla touted the glass roof as nearly indestructible, you will survived a car roll over, etc…. So, I was curious if the roof glass crack was caused by someone trying to load something on the roof and hit the glass which started the crack. Or if road debris hit the glass roof and caused the damage. Being that the glass roof is part of car structure, I was curious if it was under warranty.

When you divide the watts per mile into the battery pack size its about 320 miles so my max range of 279 miles is attributed to my driving style. I've gone through 3 sets of tires.

My commute has changed and I’m closer to home so daily commute is 12 miles. With the computer factoring in my new commute my full charge in miles has gone up to 290-295. I’m assuming it’ll go even higher at some point over time because watts/mile is more efficient in city vs highway. So it isn’t too far off of the original 305 miles.
