The Million-mile Tesla
-
Speaking as somebody who drives 350K miles over 10 years, and whose wife probably averaged close to 50K per year, I don’t find that very difficult.
-
I spent a couple of days with a large-animal veterinarian in Wisconsin. We spent 10 hours in the truck, and about ⅔ of that time was driving, the remainder dealing with clients.
I asked Rick how many miles per year, and he said about 50K. About a thousand miles a week.
I don't find 359K outrageous, or even 50K ridiculous.
But 2000 miles a week?

Can we first just give him kudos for the Germanest sounding name ever?
Can we give kudos to @jon-nyc for the most creative new adjective?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I believe the word is germane.

Is anyone else confused about driving telsas for 2 decades when they've only been out since 2008?
@89th the million-mile car is a 2014 model,
"German resident Hansjörg von Gemmingen-Hornberg has owned Teslas for nearly two decades now..."
"Nearly". 2004 is within 20 days of being 2 decades ago.
The roadster came out in 2008 - so 16 years ago, or so.
-
2004? You mean 2014...
So yes, 2008 is 15 years ago. Quite the round-up to say nearly two decades, something you can say for the next 5 years!
