Is there anyone who has a 100K miles on their truck. Maybe we should have a 100K mile club?

that would be a LOT of miles in a few short years since even the first one hit the ground...

but, yes, with over 52,000 miles, in on a long travel trip this week for another 700+ miles over several days to see three sons in N Georgia and far N Alabama and back, I don't see a single degradation of the battery, no issues with any build or equipment or software, and using ProPower to make coffee, power the TV for overnights, electrons to keep the tMobile WIFI box operational, etc., and making good use of Tesla Supercharger locations... all is good.
I still pinch myself with the smoooooooooth easy riding, especially at 70+mph on heavy-traffic interstates... wow! : )

Wow. It took me just over 7 years to reach 100k miles on my Focus Electric.

For those wondering about battery longevity, the FFE's 100 mile range means that 100k miles required at least 1000 charge cycles, and likely more than 2000 since most were topping up from 50% SOC or better.

Also, pretty much EVERY charge was to 100% since the FFE doesn't allow setting a charge target.

It’s not battery degradation you have to worry about, it’s battery cell failure requiring the replacement of one (or more) battery modules. That typically results in being without your truck for two (or more) weeks while waiting for the parts and installation.

Here is a famous post last year of someone reaching 100k miles on their Lightning. It made news on InsiderEV and a few other places. They also had a follow up post with a picture of their dash.

This month I saw a 90k mile Lightning Platinum on Cars.com. So it's not unheard of for these high mileage trucks to exist.
