Highlights

Numerous Tesla Model 3s and older Model S's have been reported to have exceeded 400,000 miles with original parts, except for tires and brakes.

The Atlantic suggests that electric cars could potentially last 'nearly forever' if allowed by car companies.

A 2014 Tesla Model S became the first electric vehicle to reach over 2 million km, showcasing the durability of EVs.

Despite some faults, the 2 million km Model S had fewer issues than expected, indicating improvements in EV reliability.

Gasoline-powered cars typically last around 170,000 miles on average, compared to the impressive mileage of EVs.

EVs have fewer moving parts, leading to less wear and tear and potentially a longer lifespan than traditional cars.

Battery technology is improving, with packs lasting longer and new technologies on the horizon promising even greater longevity.

Scott Mour from UC Berkeley suggests that future EVs could last for 74 years, covering the average American's driving needs for a lifetime.

Older cars often face major repair issues after 12 to 15 years, unlike EVs which are showing longevity beyond this period.

Tesla vehicles, especially Model 3s, are increasingly seen driving for hundreds of thousands of miles with minimal repairs.

The battery is the most critical component affecting EV longevity, with degradation over time being the main concern.

Replacement batteries are becoming more affordable and accessible, with options for individual cell repair or replacement.

Many EV warranties cover battery replacements for up to 8 years or 100,000 miles, extending the vehicle's useful life.

Batteries are expected to last longer, with some EVs still maintaining 85% of their original capacity after over 300,000 miles.

A Chinese manufacturer has announced a battery warranteed for nearly 1 million miles, indicating a significant leap in EV battery technology.

Tesla is likely to incorporate the 1 million mile battery into their vehicles in the near future, further enhancing EV longevity.

EVs are more high-tech than gas cars, with improvements in range, charging, infotainment, and autopilot features potentially compelling upgrades.

The right to repair battles seen in smartphones are coming to cars, with most EV repairs currently only possible through manufacturers.

Longevity is central to the promise of EVs, reducing carbon emissions from manufacturing and material mining.

The potential decline in car sales due to EV longevity could impact the automotive industry, as fewer new cars are needed.

Car companies may need to adapt their sales models to accommodate the longer lifespan of EVs, similar to tech companies with software and gadget ecosystems.

Tesla's approach to maintenance and warranty is unique, not requiring service to maintain warranty, which contrasts with traditional car companies.

Transcripts

guys I've reported on numerous Tesla

Model 3s and of course older Tesla Model

S's that are still running on the

original Motors the original battery um

the original everything except for tires

in some cases the original brakes that

have done well over 400,000 miles I

reported on that over the last 6 months

and it seems as though the mainstream

media finally starting to catch on to

this phenomenon in fact the Atlantic

said electric cars could last nearly

forever

if car companies will actually let them

here's the question are car companies

intentionally sabotaging EVS because if

you buy one you might never need to buy

another one again and that's not going

to work for a consumer business hello my

friends welcome to the channel I'm Sam

Evans you're watching the electric

Viking it's great to see you in April a

group of people in a red Tesla driving

through the Moroccan desert were glued

to the odometer on the car's giant

touchcreen 2 million Hans 2 million

exclaimed the front seat passenger to

the owner and Driver Hans yorg Von gimin

hornberg his 2014 Model S had become the

first electric vehicle to drive 2

million km or more than 1.2 million

miles the car could have traveled from

the earth to the moon and back twice

then circled the equator 11 times the

the journey wasn't entirely seamless

though I mean this was an an old Tesla

Model S and it certainly had its fair

share of faults most of the new ones

don't have these faults and those things

have been fixed however this particular

car had its share of repairs including

several battery and motor Replacements a

handful of gas powered cars have driven

farther most of all a 1966 Volvo that

did 3 million miles over five decades

but in general a a gasoline powered car

is only going to last you on average

around

170,000 Mi that's actually the fleet

average such fantastic mileages are

becoming far easier to accomplish for

ordinary commuters if they buy an

electric car on a technological level

it's possible that we're not far from a

time where nobody would Flinch at an EV

with as much mileage as Von gim and Jin

hamburg's that is unless car companies

themselves get in the way intentionally

possibly unlike gas powerered engines

which are made up of thousands of parts

that shift against each other causing

friction to make heat a typical EV has

only a few dozen moving parts that means

less damage less wear and tear less

maintenance less cost it makes it easier

and cheaper to keep a car on the road

well past the 180,000 Mi average

lifespan of a gas powerered vehicle and

EVS are only getting better battery

technology is getting better battery

packs now are lasting far longer than

they did only a matter of years ago

there are certain technologies that are

coming down the pipeline that will get

us toward that million mile EV said

Scott mour a civil and environmental

engineer at UC Berkeley that many miles

would cover the average American driver

for 74

years 74 years you'd likely be dead

before your EV stopped going the first

EV you buy could be the last car you

ever need to purchase now of course I

mean people will probably buy new cars

in the future but a lot of people think

that eventually that will change and

we'll be driving around in robot taxis

and honestly we won't even know what

we're in we'll just be sitting there on

our laptops or watching TV or being

entertained anyhow gas cars are already

astonishingly durable but not as much as

EVS now in theory you can just keep on

repairing your gasoline or petrol diesel

powered car but after they get to be

about 12 to 15 years old major problems

such as a shot engine or a broken

transmission are often not worth the

cost of repair that's what happened to

me with my last internal combustion

engine car that I scrapped it was a

Mitsubishi Magna and once it hit around

260,000 km not that much it needed a new

engine and it wasn't really worth the

price of what the car was worth so I had

it scrapped even without problems a

newer car is likely to have much better

mileage than an older one making a trade

in appealing evbs are still so new that

few of them are a decade old meaning we

don't know exactly how long they will

last but we do know that more and more

Tesla vehicles particularly Tesla Model

3s are lasting for hundreds of thousands

of miles without any significant repairs

being needed the ones that do exist

though give us some sense of what you

can expect several older Teslas and

Nissan Leafs have topped 300 and now

400,000 Mi as did the first three

batteries in Von gingen hur's million

Miler his first Tesla A Roadster

purchased in 20 9 had itself traveled

more than

400,000 mil the biggest factor in EV

longevity is the batteries just like

those in a smartphone they degrade over

time a battery might lose 1 or 2% of its

maximum range every year that does slow

down eventually though and it depends on

how it's used meaning that after 15

years of car's range might have slipped

from 300 M to 210 m per charge repairing

a car's battery is difficult um it's

certainly far from impossible you can

get Replacements which are actually

relatively affordable often half the

price of the original OEM battery pack

you can even get them fixed so there's

different options if a battery cell was

to fail you can often just get that

individual cell replaced or repaired

Auto Pacific said that many EV

warranties today will cover Replacements

to a battery for 8 years 100,000 M of

driving quite a long time and the thing

worth worth mentioning here people don't

often talk about this batteries are

considered due for replacement once

they've dipped below 70% of their

original capacity so basically um if

your say for example your Tesla battery

has less than 70% of its original

capacity after you've driven your

160,000 Mi Tesla will replace it

batteries today are expected to take far

longer to lose that much of their

maximum charge though potentially

300,000 Mi or more in fact there are so

many V like I said with well over

300,000 miles that actually still have

85% of their original battery capacity

the lifespan though should only continue

to improve batteries are one of the most

active areas in E EV development prices

are plummeting which will make battery

replacement more feasible simpler

cheaper easier and as the range of new

EV batteries keeps going up longevity

will also obviously benefit some EV

batteries including the one in the Tesla

Model 3 standard range can already last

for 500,000 Mi on the road Mara said one

Chinese manufacturer recently announced

the battery warranteed for nearly 1

million miles now that's cadal they are

actually the biggest battery supplier in

the world and they are also the number

one Supply to Tesla more Teslas have

cadal batteries than any other brand of

battery so you can almost be certain

that 1 million M battery from cadle will

be in Tesla's within the next few years

and even more durable battery designs

are coming out from from other

manufacturers as well a researcher at

Tesla has tested a battery that he says

can drive for 4 million miles or roughly

100 years under the right conditions now

of course how long a car can keep

running is not just how long somebody

wants to drive it EVS are more high-tech

than gas cars and standard improvements

longer range faster charging a better

touchscreen infotainment system improved

autopilot features some of these things

would probably compel people to want to

buy a new model but they could still

hand that model on that they had down to

their kid you know some new driver for

example keep in mind as well as that

batteries are often repurposed um some

batteries that have been in buses and

various different kinds of vehicles like

that they have a second life which then

they're used as energy storage for

backup solar for example at some point

each successive model of car though

won't be all that much better than the

last do I need a slightly better sensor

so that the windshield

wipers work slightly better when it

rains as Lauren McDonald and E

consultant put it maybe I don't with

continued battery improvements more

drivers May opt to stick with an older

car rather than buy a new one a decade

old EV that can go 400 m on a single

charge instead of its initial 500 Mi

will be sufficient for most drivers now

of course other things will affect

Vehicles things like body deterioration

and rust um you know plastic

deterioration as well but those are the

kind of things that most people probably

would expect to see in a car once it's

20 or so years old that said a lot of

cars now are using more and more

aluminium which obviously doesn't really

rust the longevity of EVs and any

appetite for new cars says the Atlantic

might help address one of the primary

complaints with these cars that they

sticker prices are too high for the

typical American household that said

though within the past few months EV

prices on average actually come down to

be on parody with gasoline powered

vehicles so if they last twice as long

or

more and the price is equivalent or

about the same then you would expect

that more and more intelligent people

would be buying EVS instead of gasoline

powered vehicles use cars which will

continue to work well while requiring

fewer repairs will open up the EV

Revolution to much of the United States

and Europe and Australia and most of the

world a used Tesla can already be

purchased for roughly

$20,000 we have to think about how we

design these vehicles not for the first

owner but for the third the fourth the

fifth owner I just made a video guys on

someone who purchased a Tesla Model S

for

$9,400 at auction absolutely nothing

wrong with it he washed it he cleaned it

replaced a fuse for

$150 and uh it was driving perfectly

even if many people are content with

driving the same EV for decades car

companies may try to stop them Tesla

Ford and other auto manufacturers will

need people to buy new EVS well I don't

know about Tesla with Robo taxis they

may be moving away from that but they

may well create incentives for people to

buy new vehicles in the EV age car

companies are acting more like tech

companies and bringing more software to

their cars than ever the entire

automotive industry could follow an

adoption and replacement cycle a lot

like that of an iPhone

it used to be common to buy a new iPhone

every couple of years for a faster

processor better camera and larger

screen now the iPhone 15 it's not really

all that different to an iPhone 12 but

people do of course constantly buy new

phones from Apple the old ones are

expensive or difficult to repair and

with every software update seem to slow

down just a bit more until the devices

are no longer eligible for updates at

all whereas Apple commands a ton of

brand loyalty and a dominant hold on

smartphone sales causing a car's battery

or motor to degrade faster would be a

great strategy for losing customers car

maker approach may not resemble planned

obsolescence so much as planned

Improvement said McDonald making older

Hardware incompatible with software

updates or other new functions Tesla's

autopilot for example is only compatible

with vehicles built after September of

2014 though that is now 10 years ago

newer updates to the feature don't work

with older cars and that lack more

advanced sensors and cameras yeah it you

know they don't work so well car

companies may be able to ensnare people

in software and Gadget ecosystems just

like apple does as Ford GM Tesla and

other automakers sell home charging

systems and other Energy Products car

owners might have to upgrade their

vehicles to keep up it's a sort of

capture akin to how even if you don't

want to buy the new iPhone you might pay

for upgraded iCloud storage so you don't

run out of memory or buy an Apple Watch

to check your

iMessages how could um car companies do

something similar to what Apple's doing

the bigger concern is that the same

battles over the right to repair an

iPhone are also coming to cars says the

Atlantic even though EVS require few

repairs they aren't maintenance free and

right now most EV repairs can be done

only by manufacturers and their

retailers any mechanic can fix pretty

much any traditional car but EVS require

specialized parts that are more

difficult to come by and to understand

how they work whether automakers will

make the spare parts and Technical

knowledge needed to fix EVS available to

Independent repair shops is uncertain

maybe they kind of intentionally not do

that so that you'll be more likely to

buy a new car Tesla has already faced

class action antitrust lawsuits alleging

that the company maintains an unlawful

Monopoly over maintenance and

replacement parts but a judge dismissed

those suits and a lot of Tesla customers

are saying that hasn't been their

experience at all in fact far from it

and to Tesla's credit I mean they're the

company that don't require you to

service your vehicle in order to

maintain your warranty they're the only

company actually in the world that does

that now what one expert said was this

what I foresee is that with newer

Vehicles the ability for an individual

to repair it themselves is becoming less

certain longevity is not just a bonus to

EVS it's Central to their promise cars

that spend more years on the road mean

less carbon from the manufacturing

process less mining for battery minerals

and less scrap metal and as well even

after a second life battery packs are

extremely valuable even if they are dead

those minerals in that battery pack are

worth incredible amounts of money even

recycled more used vehicles that cycle

through more owners will mean the same

if car companies continue to act more

like tech companies as their products

become more like tech gadgets an entire

Avenue of their green potential could

kind of be closed off and guys the truth

is here EVS are of course the future and

a lot of the media is trying to ignore

the fact that electric car will last

three times as long on average versus a

gasoline powered vehicle or at least

twice as long it requires far less

maintenance far less cost it doesn't

need oil changes it doesn't need all the

kinds of spark plugs and new timing

belts and in addition to that the

running costs are extraordinarily low

now I think it's only a matter of time

here before the

industry begins to realize that actually

selling EVS is bad for them because

they're going to be selling a lot less

cars as these EVS last twice as long in

some cases three times as long their

sales will well unquestionably decline

so that Pi becomes a zero sum game that

Zero Sum game starts to shrink the

amount of cars that can be sold

worldwide will shrink from about 75

million today to possibly as low as

something like 25 million by

2040 so who is going to be left if a car

company is selling predominantly

internal combustion engine cars and most

people want EVS well I'd say they're

toast they're finished so the question

is which companies will be finished

first let me know what you think thanks

for watching
