A 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Plus, used as an Uber vehicle, has reached 410,000 kilometers with 88%-90% battery health. The vehicle's charging history indicates 15,556 kWh from DC fast charging and 38,012 kWh from AC. The estimated refueling cost compared to a petrol car is significantly lower at AU$20,737 using commercial rates or AU$13,000 with the EV tariff, yielding savings of approximately AU$37,000. The car experienced a driveline issue due to worn motor mount bushes, which were fixed affordably, restoring its original performance.
The 2021 Model 3 Standard Plus has racked up 410,000 kilometers on its original battery and motor while retaining around 90% battery health.
Charging the Tesla over this distance would cost about AU$20,737 using average rates and AU$13,000 with Western Australia's EV tariff, resulting in significant fuel savings.
The Model 3 suffered from a driveline 'judder' that was attributed to worn motor mount bushes, which were easily fixed.
Edi Gutmanis of EV Workz stated that they expect such longevity with EV batteries, though this Model 3 has the highest mileage seen in Australia.
