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.

    Yeah, 300km is not what it used to be on an ICE. A coolant/transmission flush and fill, plus some spark plugs. These will show up on an EV as well, minus the spark plugs, but you will spend way more on tires alone either way, so not something to worry about.
