Tesla Domination: Are They Built to Last, or is it Hype?
A recent study suggests Teslas outlive and outmile the average EV by a significant margin. 20 years and 200,000 miles compared to 18 years and 124,000 miles. Is this a testament to Tesla’s engineering, or are other factors at play? Could UK driving conditions or the specific Tesla models included skew these numbers?
If true, does longevity outweigh other EV considerations? Many prioritize range, charging speed, or even brand loyalty over lifespan. What’s the tipping point for you? Is 20 years even a realistic timeframe to own a car given how rapidly technology evolves?
This data also sparked a discussion around battery repurposing. If Tesla batteries truly outlast the vehicles themselves, what innovative second-life applications could emerge? Home energy storage? Grid stabilization? What are the possibilities and challenges?
Finally, this dominance raises questions about competition. Can other manufacturers catch up, or will Tesla cement its position as the king of longevity? What features or innovations could rival Tesla’s apparent durability? Let’s discuss!
