My friend put 100,000 miles on his Tesla in a year and was never stranded. He drove 30,000 miles on a known faulty motor.
It's not more unreliable than an ICE vehicle. It's significantly more simple in design and for repair. These claims are FUD.
- sqeaky 9y agoThis seems unbelievable. That is 500 charge discharge cycles at 200 miles apiece. Since there are only 365 days in a year This means that your friend was driving more than 270 miles a day meaning he was at 55 mph that is 5 hours a day. This is on the order of a professional trucker once you count weekends. This also discounts the difficultly of finding well space out chargers. It also discounts the schedule of your friend. This also makes me wonder what time you have left to socialize with your 'friend'. If you are going to make bold claims some explanation of the detail would go a long way towards making them seem plausible.
