Anyone over 100k miles on their car?

[Candece]

I was just wondering how long they last. I have a 2014 and just hit 75k. I have put 20k on in 15 months.

104,000 miles on my 2015 i3

109k on my recently acquired 2020 BEV. I'll probably only add another 15k over the next 5 years.

I'm at 77k on a 2014 Rex. I have 77 miles of range on a warm day. Cold weather is my enemy. Any temperature below 50 and I m using Rex daily.

More or less in line with the average. I am at 70.000 miles and have 80 miles of range on a warm day. I have a 2014 BEV though, so only battery powered.

EDIT 16/7: checked max kappa in display, I am bit disappointed but I appear to have 15kWh left, a decline of 20%. While it may be a snapshot and max kappa is not very accurate, it gives me an indication nevertheless. O well, it still suits my driving needs -as where I live in Portugal since this spring, the average speeds are lower due to no highway driving and temperatures are higher compared to the Netherlands.

115K on my 2015 with range extender. Son gave it to me. Max of 70 miles on full charge. Even driving w/o AC will only get actual miles 50 or so

 

[TedStriker]

104k miles on my (UK) 2018 94Ah rex. Batt kappa max usually around 29kWh. 110ish miles on full charge.

what sort of milage would one replace the i3 ?

or just wait until it breaks ?

Somebody worked it out and they can do around 500,000 miles. I find that insane but I'll definitely be keeping mine for many years as my yearly mileage is very low. Fantastic car, especially as you can pick up a used one for great money.

I'm hoping I get 5 more years out of it. That will be about 70k miles.we will see.

If longer life is possible I may just tow it behind me in retirement behind my camper!

Apart from the batteries, with proper maintenance it should last 50 years, hardly no rust etc. I really hope that replacement batteries become available for a fair price, not just salvaged battery packs. Maybe when solid state batteries are common, one does not need the cooling or heating and those maybe can be spoofed by clever engineering. Or convert it to ICE

Sacrelidge!! Wash your mouth out!!

Worst case scenario I can still use the car on mostly gas, but rust is the enemy here in North West Indiana

I remember a Tesla model S converted to ICE....

There's not much to rust on an i3. Some brake parts could rust, but they could be replaced so wouldn't send an i3 to the junk yard.

High mileage is discussed up in this other forum posting
https://www.speakev.com/threads/whos-running-the-oldest-highest-mileage-i3.159585/
And here’s a couple of YouTube videos mentioning mileages over 100,000 miles

And

Approx 125000 miles on 2016 i3 rex. Replaced electric motor at 100000 miles, bearing went. Battery good, occasionally get reduced charging alert but otherwise ok.

My signature may be an answer to you I am updating it periodically.

No performance loss so far. It ages annoyingly well!

I'm planning on replacing mine once it rusts out ;-)
