An Australian Uber driver has achieved the impossible—his 2021 Tesla Model 3 has traveled 410,000 kilometers on its original battery while maintaining 88-90% capacity. Detailed analysis by EV specialist workshop EV Workz revealed not only exceptional LFP battery longevity but also fuel savings of AU$37,000 compared to an equivalent petrol car. Battery Management System data shows an optimal charging mix: 71% slow AC charging and only 29% DC fast charging, proving the key to battery longevity. This case, which went viral with over a million views, fundamentally challenges misconceptions about EV battery degradation and demonstrates that electric vehicles can outlast traditional combustion engines while delivering massive operational savings.
