Default 1.2 million mile Tesla

4 battery packs which is good (imo) but it's on its 14th electric motor. In its defense, the early Tesla motors are less robust than the new ones (apparently).

Yeah, batteries are doing OK but I would expect more life from the motors. I've seen many reports of motors lasting 200k+ miles, so perhaps the owner is hard on his motor? I think 300k miles from a battery is fair.

I'm guessing he's been through a few charging cables as well...
