The Tesla Model S was the first of the modern long-range electric cars. It had–and still has–decent looks, but more importantly, it was able to drive further on a full charge than just about any other battery-powered car before it.
As a result, it saw taxi duty around the world and it’s not unheard of for early Model S cars to rack up hundreds of thousands of miles. One example even surpassed the 1 million-mile mark and went through no fewer than 14 electric motors and four battery packs.
