    Makes a lot of difference where you live. For me its 10 miles to town with two stops. City driving will not be that way.

    What kind of tires are you running that go 200,000 to 300,000. Semi truck tires can go longer than most car tires, but even they only last around 100,000 miles.

    I try to be gentle on my vehicle, but I don't get anywhere close to 100,000 miles out of a set of tires. I will likely get over 100,000 miles on my front brakes though. My rear brakes had to be replaced at 85,000 miles only because a caliper locked up.

    120 to 150K miles on the ICE cars, 30-40K miles in my F350 that gets driven fully loaded-- 24,500 lbs, often in hilly country. I've touched the brakes maybe three times in the first year of owning the Tesla, I expect the brakes to be the last thing to go on that car.
