250K MILE TESLA MODEL S RANGE TEST! 2019 STANDARD RANGE RUN AT 70-MPH UNTIL DEAD

EV Channels Review

This video presents a comprehensive range test of a 2019 Tesla Model S Standard Range with an impressive 250,000 miles on the odometer. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's dual-motor AWD setup and the "range mode" feature, which disconnects the rear motor for increased efficiency. Despite adverse conditions including strong winds (up to 30+ mph) and temperatures in the 40s and 50s Fahrenheit, the Model S achieved a respectable 203 miles at a consistent 70 mph, consuming 57.8 kWh for an average of 3.6 miles per kWh. The reviewer notes that the car still felt good for its mileage, though signs of wear were present. A key takeaway is the battery degradation, estimated at approximately 23% over 250,000 miles, which is considered impressive given the heavy usage, including frequent fast charging. The video concludes that while the raw range figure might not be class-leading by today's standards, the longevity and efficiency of the aging battery are remarkable, especially considering the car's low purchase price and remaining warranty.
