My first EV, a Tesla MYLR 2023, is supposed to be delivered between June 17 & 25. This is a big switch for me.
I drive about 3,000 miles per month, averaging two long trips of approximately 300 miles each week. I live and work in Wisconsin and drive all over the state all year around. I've done a lot of reading about battery maintenance, charging stations, etc. and I've decided to take the leap of faith and give this a try. I will never be more than 150 miles away from a Tesla Charging station, and usually closer than that.
1. Am I crazy? There have to be other people on this forum that drive year around and put on miles like me. Is it working for you? Are my expectations reasonable?
2. My last three ICE cars have racked up between 275,000 and 375,000 miles. I'd love to think I can get close to 300,000 miles out of this MYLR. I'm assuming they haven't been out long enough, but is anyone out there up to 150,000 or more miles? Is this a reasonable expectation?
Am I about to make a big mistake, or is this workable?
Thanks in advance for sharing your reality or your reassurance.
