Nice and light, but I found this reassuring about longer-term/higher km ev ownership. A bit like diet ... best if you do this/don't do that, but not too consequential if you don't/do.
Was that in a 3/Y or S/X?I'm now on my 3rd motor in 74,000km for an average of only 37,000km/motor. If you read comments on TMC from people rebuilding the motors then it seems to be a consistent pattern with many failures occurring despite low mileage.
I've not heard that the M3/Y have drive motor problems like you describe.I'm now on my 3rd motor in 74,000km for an average of only 37,000km/motor
Model S. To be fair the last motor was replaced in 2017 so it's had a reasonable life although far less than a typical ICE motor.Was that in a 3/Y or S/X?
All of the Australian 3/Y fleet are still on their 8 yr battery warranty. Some of the 3 fleet are coming to the end of the 4 year warranty basic. So there is no info re depreciation at the 8 year end of battery mark in the Australian marketa buyer at that point is always going to think about that because of the outsized cost to them Vs the value of the vehicle at that time
Well other than some high km models.the Australian 3/Y fleet are still on their 8 yr battery warranty
It may be a perverse incentive for EV manufacturers to keep Battery pack replacement costs high??Suspect people will have similar concerns buying a 7yo car for example.
Ahh right. There'd be quite a few Model 3s in Australia now up above the 100,000km mark and I haven't heard much about motor replacements, so those units seem to be lasting better. Probably include a lot of learnings from the early Model S motors.Model S. To be fair the last motor was replaced in 2017 so it's had a reasonable life although far less than a typical ICE motor.
