Hansjörg Gemmingen, the owner of what is thought to be the longest-running Tesla electric car on the planet, has passed another extraordinary milestone: one million miles or, better said, 1.6 million kilometers.
However, despite the decidedly important goal, it should be emphasized how it was achieved; To get those numbers, Hansjörg had to replace three batteries and eight electric motors during use. Precisely because of these vicissitudes, the owner recently stated that he is not satisfied with the longevity of his Model S and plans to switch to Lucid Air in the future.
Regarding charging costs, the owner said he almost always uses Tesla's destination charges and uses fast charging stations very sparingly.
What about the warranty? Fortunately, the batteries had eight-year coverage and unlimited mileage, while the engines were limited to 200,000 kilometers. We don't know how much he may have spent on repair costs for his Model S, but it's no surprise he may have decided to switch to Lucid Air to try and set a new record.
