You can look at market positioning, or you can look at the experiments…
A million mile Tundra with 117 dealership visits over 10 years:
In maintaining his truck to the extraordinary million-mile mark, Sheppard has logged 117 dealership service visits over nine years, ranging from timing belt replacements, oil changes, and the manufacturer’s regularly scheduled check-ups.
Tesla Model S with 1.2 million:
However, this Model S is currently on its fourth battery pack. Four batteries at 1.2 million miles mean that the average pack lasted some 300,000 and counting, which is actually a strong showing in our opinion.
It’d be interesting to try to get bounds on the costs. It seems like the Tesla special of mishandled repairs (i.e. not understanding motor failure) is an real and persistent factor.

- hvb2 1y agoI'm not certain this is valuable. While it's great to see how a car can last that long you need to be driving a LOT to ever get near that mark. That's professional driver levels. No consumer car should be built to achieve that. If they can, great, but you might be over engineering a lot to make that happen as a rule
