Tesla Model 3 Taxi Hits 238,000 Miles on Original Battery & Brakes – Gas Cars Are Crying in the Shop

Meet the 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range that’s basically immortal:

• 238,000 miles as a taxi
• STILL on the original battery (85.5% capacity left)
• Original motor, original brakes
• Total maintenance: $7,566 (mostly tires & suspension – normal taxi life)
• Lifetime charging cost: ~$10,951 (~4 cents per mile)
• Same miles in a gas car? Would’ve burned ~$29,400 in fuel

This thing has outlived three iPhones, two relationships, and probably the driver’s patience for traffic.

Gas car owners reading this: “My warranty ended at 60k miles and my transmission just filed for divorce.”

Tesla: “We told you the battery would last forever. You thought we were kidding?”

Meanwhile this Model 3 is out here still slinging rides like it’s 2021, quietly judging every ICE taxi that rolls up smelling like regret and bad decisions.

At this rate it’ll hit 500k miles before the original owner pays off his student loans.

Who’s buying this thing when the driver finally retires? I want shares in whatever coffee this battery drinks.
