A man who bought a Tesla in 2018 has driven just under 250,000 kilometers in less than five years, well above the annual average of 21,700 kilometers in the United States.
He shared his experience with YouTuber Tesla Joy, explaining how this high mileage has affected the health of the vehicle’s battery. According to data from Tesla’s management app, the battery has lost between 8% and 11% of its capacity, although the owner claims not to notice significant differences in daily use.

Not having access to a charging point at home, he relied on Superchargers, which can charge the car in under 30 minutes. Some people believe that this charging method can harm the battery, but the owner disagrees.
He also confessed that he only did the first maintenance on the car after reaching about 233,000 kilometers, delaying the service to see how far the Tesla could go before something broke.
Maintenance costs totaled around $1,000, including replacing the charging socket and the 12V battery. Despite these small repairs, he is still very satisfied with the car’s performance, stating that his experience with the Tesla remains almost as good as on the first day.
