Really? The one person that’s taken over 1 mill miles had to replace batteries and motors like it was their job. The vast majority are unwilling to do that. To call them reliable is a half-truth at best. Sure the EV1 was reliable, but it was much more basic. It was a true electric car, not a smart phone on wheels.
Are you seriously not reading the post? 1 million miles cost them more than double the cost of the car to fix shit. A 1 million mile Tesla with batteries and motors replaced can’t be compared to a 50 year old Volvo still running the same engine it was paired with. If you replace everything on the car other than the vin, is it even the same car? That Volvo is worth more than it ever was new. That will never be true of a Tesla. #s matching. If you have an infinite amount of money, you could get a yugo to do over 1 million miles.
They’ve been great cars. The fit and finish is kind of lackluster, but the cars run great, are fun to drive, and have been extremely reliable.

Are you seriously complaining about a car crapping out at one million miles?!?

I’m in the same boat. On the one hand, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. On the other hand, Elon Musk.
