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).

Re: 1.2 million mile Tesla
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.

Re: 1.2 million mile Tesla
I'm guessing he's been through a few charging cables as well...
