Driving Tesla Model 3 more than 150,000km for nearly 3 years, car owners are surprised when looking at maintenance costs
This September, the Tesla Model 3 will celebrate its 3rd anniversary in Australia. One of the first owners of this model in Australia shared about the process of using the car during 150,000km of travel.
The owner of this car initially shared on social media that he uses the car very badly, driving every day through all kinds of roads, from highways to rural roads, sometimes having to run out of battery when “out of battery” myself” with conventional car models.
After that, the Australian website The Driven contacted and recorded his other shares.

With a job that requires traveling from 50,000 to 60,000 km per year, he finds using electric cars seems to be more economical than other models using internal combustion engines. He also shared that he often charges at home, the maintenance items of the car are also very different.
The owner of this car commented that with a payment of less than $45,000, the Tesla Model 3 is still equipped with very impressive equipment and technology, such as 8 cameras, electrically adjustable seats and trunk, a touchscreen display. The large touch screen is updated with features from time to time, the glass ceiling … and of course can not ignore the Autopilot self-driving mode.
He commented that: “The basic equipment of the Tesla Model 3 is beyond the standard compared to other gasoline models, from Mercedes, BMW or Audi, for example.”

However, the Tesla Model 3 still brings some annoyances, such as the self-braking error that many users complain about, the automatic headlights and wipers not working properly. Many people who have the opportunity to use Tesla feel that the car’s finishing quality is not good, but for this car owner, “doesn’t feel a problem”.
Recently, when gasoline prices skyrocketed around the world, this car owner shared that: “Every time I pass a gas station, I start giggling. Gasoline prices are not something that I don’t care about. I’m often preoccupied, so it wasn’t until recently that I realized how expensive fuel is.”

Referring to the cost of use, this car owner highly encourages users to use electric car models like him when it is very necessary to pay little attention to car care. He said that every year he saves about 4,500 US dollars just by riding the electric car.
With a total mileage of up to 150,000km, he only had to change the whole set of tires once, costing more than $1,000 per Michelin tire.
In addition, this car owner also made a list of things he liked about the car. Please note that the following are not in any order.
• The car is very good, just go, don’t worry much.
• The standard equipment far exceeds that of similar models,
• The software can be updated, giving the feeling of using a different car every month.
• The satellite navigation system works very well, monitoring the traffic situation directly.
• Has huge storage space.
• Free charging stations and super fast charging stations along the route to go are very useful.
• Change the whole concept of car use. To me, this car is an electronic device.
• Display on the screen: Clear, easy to see, one thing is probably the problem is that the driving parameters are not in the center of the eye as before. But I like to have a clear view.
• I was amazed at the durability of the car. During the entire period of use, I only had to maintain one time at a cost of about 300 USD.
