This man bought a Tesla Model 3 with the equivalent of nine laps around the world and found something striking about the car’s efficiency.
Tesla has conquered the EV world quite impressively, setting the bar for electric efficiency.
The Model 3 has been applauded so frequently that it quickly rose to a United States best-seller.
But this particular Tesla Model 3 has enough mileage to wrap around the world nine times over, and its performance has left its buyer shocked.

Tesla Model 3 with 216,000 miles still performs near-perfectly
For most cars, knocking up more than 216,000 miles would be enough to send it to the scrapyard.
High-mileage combustion cars would pant like a sunburnt dog if you even whispered that mileage to it.
But for the renowned and proficient high-mileage master, Tesla Model 3, it appears that this is no problem whatsoever.

YouTuber ‘RSymons “RSEV”‘ recently bought a shock EV described as ‘one of the highest mileage Tesla Model 3s in the UK,’ and expected it to be rather ragged.
Despite averaging over 200 miles every single day, the 71-plate Model 3 barely had a scratch on its body, only the odd tiny paint chip from your classic stray road pebble.
Aside from a bit of dirt, the Model 3 was impressive and worked almost as well as if it was brand new.
In a follow-up video, the critic revealed that the battery was still at a very high capacity, having only lost around 15 percent of its maximum charge.
Tesla Fans blown away by high-mileage performance
Previously, RSEV bought another high-mileage Tesla and was impressed by its condition, but this particular Model 3 was much more impressive.
Fans quickly took to the comments to praise the EV and the review.

“Yet even more conclusive proof that EVs can munch the miles, should silence some more critics, lets face it, a 216,000 mile I.C.E would be thinking about wanting a new engine by now,” one said.
Another added, “What a superb example of EV value.“
The iconic EV brand has been touted as ‘cheap motoring forever’ by some of its users, and given its performance at such a high usage rate, it’s hard to argue against that statement.
