I have a 2007 Prius. Bought it with 120,000 miles. Got 365,000 on it. Never put brakes on.
I've driven a 2020 Prius Prime for 5 years now. Best car I've ever driven. Through 68,000 kms, I'm averaging 2.0L / 100km's. EV is programmed to not turn on below approx. -20C as a longevity feature. When temperature is below -8 the engine will turn on until warm enough to run EV efficiently.
I have a 2006 4Runner with almost 350,000 miles on it. Solid as a rock. All I do is change the oil and occasionally replace the break pads.
model-3S have been remarkably reliable, many past 200,000 miles have little issues, some still on the original brake pads.
My 2021 is now around 75k miles. I’ve changed the oil, tires and brakes.
For example: my 2007 3MZFE Toyota with 227kmi -- considered one of the most reliable drivetrains ever built -- has required brakes, a wheel bearing, an intake rubber coupler, an alternator, and power steering lines replacement this year alone.
I’ve had my Toyota 4Runner for 13 years now. Never needed to change my brakes or encountered catastrophic engine failures. Maybe lucky but per Toyota, the 4Runner is rated for 22 MPG on the highway and I’m getting 23.5 MPG.
Rear motor oil pump. Plus the famous Tesla control arms and heat pump. A brake pad also disintegrated into nothing, so that was a weird one.
I disagree with most on daily driving the 80. I find it reasonably accessible to drive regularly with one exception: the brakes. Most people are used to their cars stopping at a moments notice and the stock brakes in the 80s suck.
Tesla model 3 brakes are the worst of any 300+hp car I've driven and really need the regen braking. The iboost system is probably maxed out already thats why they "fixed"the long stopping distance with a software update. Driving @high state of charge you will notice the reduced braking power because of the lack of regen.
Before the software update, needing 7 feet more than a ford f150 from 60mph to complete stop was just ridiculous.
