Over 135k miles. Battery has almost no losses.

It’s no different to an ice car....a Tesla will do high mileage if it’s driven all the time like a taxi...my M3 does 6,000 miles a year...it will take fifty years for my car to get to 300,000 miles....and I doubt it (or me) will still be around...time kills all

I mostly agree. The difference though is that the Model 3 has been around for not nearly as long as most gas cars, so we don't have concrete proof how much mileage a Model 3 can bear. Also, the hypothesis is that an EV such as a Model 3 sustains less wear and tear from mileage, so the more data points we have, the more we can accept or reject the hypothesis.

That's incredible milestone!

Although Tessie (see sig. 9K miles) is a nicer, more sophisticated ride with the double pane windows and heated steering wheel, I recently detailed Nick (85K miles), and the ride was just about as smooth and enjoyable, especially considering the extra acceleration. IOW, still feels like new.
