Tesla Model S Hits Over 2.7 Million Kilometers, Setting New Global EV Durability Record

In 2014, German owner Hansjörg von Gemmingen purchased a used Tesla Model S P85+ (with approximately 30,000 kilometers already on the odometer). To date, the vehicle has surpassed 2.7 million kilometers, making it the highest-mileage Tesla in the world. It reached 1 million kilometers in November 2019 and surpassed 2 million kilometers in April 2024, and remains in excellent operating condition. After nearly 1 million kilometers of additional driving, the original battery still retains 85% of its health, and the original motor has accumulated over 1.11 million kilometers of operation. Although some components have been repaired or replaced over the years, the long-term performance of its core parts highlights the durability advantages stemming from the simplified architecture of electric vehicles, offering compelling real-world evidence for their long-term usability.
