at 130,000 miles per year, 1.2M total and 14th motor... that's more than one motor a year. What the hell is that guy doing?

- hulitu 3y ago> Producing an ad for Tesla A negative one. So the motor in a Tesla does not last for long.
- syncsynchalt 3y agoAccording to the article that model had motor problems, many of the replacements were refurbs, and it took Tesla a long time to figure out the actual problem. I expect the failures were pretty bursty and front-loaded.
- hinkley 3y agoIf he just had the 14th motor put in, that's a little over 90k miles per motor. If he's just about to need his 15th motor, that's 85k miles per motor. Maybe that's okay considering the relative cost of replacing an electric motor versus an ICE drive train, but it doesn't sound great. I would have expected 120k per motor at least.
