>14th motor
Is that a design flaw or just expected wear?

>>28556813 (OP)
design flaw which they later fixed. can you read, or can you at least ask your sail foam to dictate it for you?

>eats a motor every 86k
Sounds about right.
How many years has that dude spent sitting at charging stations

>>28556821
I think Ferrari were the first who turned complete engine revisions every 50k into a prestige thing

>>28556823
Rich people are the biggest suckers. Literally monkeys fighting over who has the shiner rock.

>>28556821
that has an F1 motor, meanwhile Tesla has never, EVER, won a single championship.

>>28556813 (OP)
Is this dude doing burnouts fucking constantly or something?

>>28556813 (OP)
If it's had 14 different motors and 3 different batteries you can;t really call it the same car anymore

>>28556893
Literally came here to post Ship of Theseus lol. That "million mile" Tesla is almost brand new.

>>28556815
They fixed it so well he had to change motors 12 other times.

Tesla's motors are notoriously shit. Other EVs don't have this problem. I know of 300k km Kia Niro EVs with original everything.

>>28556813 (OP)
All those new motors, how is that even considered the original vehicle getting over a million miles.

>>28556813 (OP)
3 different batteries I could call normal wear and tear for something like this, but what the fuck is wrong with their motors to need swapped that often? Even if it's cheaper to replace than an ICE motor, that's obscene. There are beat to shit beamer taxis in africa with less engine replacements.

luv me rustang

I thought every wheel had its own motor?
So 14/4=3.5 changes per wheel, so about a new motor every 350k miles, which compares favorably to a transmission, though there’s four times as many
I don’t know enough about teslas to be confident that this is the case and I’m not going to google it

>>28557086
Okay I googled it, model S has either two or three motors, so it’s actually a new motor every 170k miles or 260k miles, which is in the realm of a weak to average auto transmission imo

>>28556813 (OP)
They didn't change their motor oil and got a motor each time it fried

>be ford fan
>make it 1.2m miles on your original motor
>1m miles on transmission

should have bought a B58 god machine and he'd still be on his first motor

Reminder that this legend did 3.25m miles on his Volvo P1800.
Only had to rebuild the engine once at 675000 miles and it was on its original transmission.

>>28557585
>believes this
>was actually 2 rebuilds
>thinks nothing else died in that time
>he has to drive 500+ miles a day every day of the week, 7 days or even more if he has 2 days off

>police raid a place based off 1 911 call
>no knock raid

>>28556863
A Plaid is much, much faster than that Mercedes on the street.
>>28556893
It's like 3 engines and 14 transmissions. Probably much easier to swap out, too.

>>28556923
How fast is a Kia Niro? Is your mom going to let you drive hers when you get your license (if she's not busy with me in the back seat)?

>>28557575
*114 gaskets replaced at $2,000 per.

>>28556821

amg one have F1 engine . Fact it can drive 50k km without service very impressive . Also amg one needs rebuild not replacement .

>>28557619
literally almost completely fixed with the B58 godmotor

>>28556861
They don't even buy anything cool like a tank or a decomissioned attack heli. Just gay "status symbols". The only exception I can think of is Tom Cruise and his Mustang.

>>28557618
>(if she's not busy with me in the back seat)
You should get someone else to change your diapers instead of anon's mom.

Gabe Newell bought himself a submarine. The late Paul Allen's warbird collection and oceanography passion were first-rate too. I don't disagree though, for every visionary creator like them there's hundreds of less famous and marginally less wealthy ones who have no idea what to actually do or achieve with the infinite money glitch they've discovered and instead chase fleeting pleasures or dominion over their neighbors (not to say the visionaries are immune to such behavior, but their divided attention limits the harm they're otherwise capable of).

>>28556821
Electric motors meant to be used lightly to commute every day vs a engine for a race car meant to be put under severe punishment and abuse

>>28557712
>Gabe Newell bought himself a submarine
Gabe looks like the kind of guy to screw with the HOA for fun.

>>28556818
If he only charged it at home on a level 2 charger, 4.5 years.
If he exclusively used supercharger stations, 112 days.
So somewhere between the two.

>>28556815
I only want to be properly informed about things I like so I can correct other people when they're wrong. When it's something I don't like then I want to know as much misinformation as possible and then argue with anyone who tried to correct me.
