2015 Tesla Model S at 250,000 kms - Aussie EV Legends

I interview OG Tesla owners Robin and Rob Dean to get the first-hand account with their 7-year old Model S after they recently competed 250,000 kms in their "baby". Having waited nine months for their Model S to arrive, it’s no wonder Rob and Robin refer to their Model S P85D as their “baby”. Back in 2015 Tesla deliveries in Western Australia were fairly rare, there was no delivery centre, no showroom, no service centre or local Tesla employee to hand over the cars. Each delivery experience was unique... to read the rest of the free article including a list of trips see: https://www.tocwa.org.au/2022/03/10/a...

In short, it's not an issue, it's all been as expected. After 250,000kms the car's range is 420km in the city and 370km on the highway which is roughly 10% less than new, but as expected, the first 5% of battery degradation was much faster than the last 5% which is now barely noticeable. What are your total out-of-pocket running costs? I just had the 4th set of tyres fitted, the average lifespan has been 81,000kms per set. I've kept with Michelin's paying between $350 and $410 per tyre fitted. All up including two minor repairs it’s added up to $4660. How much do you think you’ve saved on fuel? Who cares? Well okay, put it this way, if the bloke up the road had the time to drive his less powerful and slower high performance V8 250,000kms over the past 7 years he would have consumed $39,000 worth of fuel at city prices. If I paid full grid price for the electricity consumed the cost would be $11,500, the fact is charging has cost us virtually nothing as most charging has been free from our home solar system. The car also comes with free lifetime supercharging and most of the AC charging we’ve done around Australia has been complimentary and the few dollars spent on DC charging is immaterial. What about servicing? It’s often incorrectly claimed that Teslas don't need servicing; it all depends on how much the owner values their vehicle. As this car spends a large amount of time far away from a service centre, I'm happy to spend some cash making sure it's in the best possible condition. $1,300 over 250,000kms is money well spent. Any warranty repairs? At 160,000kms Tesla replaced the rear drive unit due to the milling noise showing up in some early Model S vehicles, the car was in the care of Tesla service for just a few hours. The MCU was replaced at 220,000kms under a recall due to a potential eMMC failure, this took half a day at Tesla service. #AussieEVLegends
