This video tests a 2019 Tesla Model S with a remarkable 250,000 miles on the odometer, focusing on its performance in the '10% Challenge' road trip simulation. The reviewer, Ryan, highlights the car's surprisingly good condition and comfort despite its high mileage, noting that most interior components and software function well. However, the test reveals significant drawbacks: the charging speed is abysmal, peaking at only 130 kW and tapering quickly, resulting in a very slow 0-100% charge time of nearly 3 hours. Efficiency is also disappointing, with a calculated 2.4 miles per kWh, making it the least efficient sedan tested. Consequently, the 10% Challenge yielded a poor result of only 53 miles. While acknowledging the car's impressive longevity and comfort for its age and price (under $10,000 with incentives), the reviewer concludes that its slow charging and poor efficiency make it a weak performer in road trip scenarios, with potential repair costs being a significant concern.
