320,000 km of Uber duty – the long-term verdict on a 2022 Model Y
An Uber driver takes stock after his 2022 Model Y crossed the 200,000-mile mark (about 322,000 km) in unusually short time. He puts battery degradation at a range drop from roughly 300 to 248 miles and reports a surprisingly cheap drive-unit repair for just 582 US dollars.
Takeaway
The key insight of this report: the Model Y's drivetrain and battery hold up remarkably well even in commercial round-the-clock use. About 17% range loss after 322,000 km is a good figure for such high mileage – many high-mileage drivers could live with it comfortably.
Especially reassuring is the small repair bill: instead of an expensive component swap, a single fix for 582 US dollars was enough. Anyone planning to run a Model Y commercially and at high mileage will find a realistic and rather encouraging long-term picture here.
