Quote from: Denis on August 06, 2024, 11:38:45My 12 years old Hyundai i30 Diesel (New vehicle was around 22k EUR) has zero milage loss after these 12 years. The only 'expensive' maintenance I had was recently when I had to service the manual transmission clutch and it cost me 800-900 eur. Other than that 300 euro per year or two for oil and filter change (I have also skipped few scheduled services, drove the car for about three years without doing any maintenance,just paying for the fuel)

I doubt you tested it new vs used. You likely did lose some miles due to wear and tear, just never paid attention.

On top of that, you never clarified how many miles was on your car. For all we know you drive 1k miles a year and have 12k on your odometer

As I passed him quite easily in my Model 3 it looks like he wasn't enjoying himself either.

Totally not a made up story

a gas car twice as cheap as a Tesla drives at least 500,000 miles.

I have 291000 miles on my Tesla Model3 lomg range 2020 and have lost about 25% range. Guess it's near it's end.

Ok, so what do you do for living.

Now let's see him do a real mileage run on a single charge and compare it to a new car.
EV producers are just as smart as phone producers - they show higher % while stuff is on warranty.
