The main indicator is the battery. The original battery lasted about 666,666 km, after which it was replaced under warranty due to an error. A 90 kWh battery was installed in the car. According to the owner, the charging speed of the old battery had significantly decreased by that time.

Over the remaining lifespan, the Model S also required other work: the air conditioner, suspension components, front-wheel drive supports, and half-shafts were replaced. However, the owner replaced the brake pads only once. The reason is regenerative braking, which allows mechanical brakes to be used much less frequently.
