Looking at a slightly used model 3 and wondering just how long batteries are actually lasting? What else is a big replacement item at the 300k km mark? What does the efficiency trend look like with that many kms on a used EV?
I’m going out on a limb, but a battery swap on any EV sounds about as expensive as a full engine swap.
High-mile expert here. Expect 100% replacement of wearables in all running gear - struts, bushings, steering linkage. Expect brake mechanicals - calipers, cylinders, rubber hoses.
Wheel bearings, maybe. At least inspect them.
If you’re pushing on 15 years, all rubber hoses throughout the car, while the OE custom shaped hoses are still made. You don’t want to replace one at year 18 after an extensive search and long wait to get a NOS OE part, then another in year 20, 3 more in year 21 remember you’re breaking down and having to be towed every time, and now you’re having to hork them together because the custom shaped OE stock is gone.
