400,000 miles in a Tesla Model S in 3 years

LandRover built this in 1993 , they have been twiddling their thumbs for 25 years.

Mate the real answer is "they don't know " . They are guessing.

In any case the ice is increasing in volume so it couldn't be too important unless one really goes up.

Re the plug in Hybrids.
I read recently that 40% ? of Velar orders are for plug in hybrids, so the financial district of London is really getting on board.

400,000 miles in three years is only 2570 miles per week. Quite easily achievable on a 600 mile round trip shuttle service on an 80 mph freeway. I had line haul trucks and I reckoned one truck owner-drivers were not making any money unless they did 150,000 per year.

If one prides themselves on 750k in a day on a 10 minute stop, please only drive when no one else is on the road.

Driving 750km a day is my job, like many others here. It's a task that takes some time to become familiar with and good at, so someone that does 70km a day would struggle with going straight to 700 for example but every truck driver, delivery van driver, sales rep, etc does this day in day out - I'm not the only one that does this.

Interesting , when were were touring for 5 years It was nothing at all to do 800 km in a day . Easily keep going except its no fun setting camp in the dark . But now we are in a House for a few years a 1.5 hour drive in a car is fatiguing .

Could be that an Iveco is more relaxing to drive than a Series Land Rover, even with 'lectric silence......

Or dare I say - it could be aging. Thirty years ago I would happily do 1200 kilometres in a day on a motorbike, but now I reckon 500 k's in a comfortable, quiet car is about enough.

Absolutely , but the 'car' I was referring to is a 2 year old Renault Captur , nice car to drive but = boring . Any distance over an hour and we do tend to take the Iveco .
Driving any distance over 30min on a 2" foam cushion & Leaf Springs does preclude me from having EV Range anxiety [bigwhistle].

if you haven't seen this .....
