    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?

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

          The picture says km, not miles.

          Still, a long drive.

            I believe the word is germane.

                A bit...

                1,899,015 km = 1,180,000 miles

                Miles = Kilometers / 1.6093445
                Miles = 1899015 / 1.6093445
                Miles = 1179992.8480198

                    My mistake. I just did 1M.

                      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!
