Tesla Resurrection Part 7 - New Battery, Range Test & Degradation Results
This is the final episode of the Tesla Resurrection Project and we're closing it out with real data. We ran a full range and degradation test on the fresh pack. The battery health? Fairly expected results. The range? A bit of a shocking result...
Tesla Resurrection Part 6 - Colour Change + Protection
Over the last several months, we've replaced the battery, suspension, wheels & tires and now changed the colour, protected every panel, and coated every surface. This is the video where it all comes together.
Tesla Resurrection Part 5 - Battery Swap
In the latest episode of the Drive Protected Tesla Resurrection Project, we drive our 2019 Tesla Model 3, the one with over 610,000 km on the odometer from Winkler, Manitoba all the way to Hamilton, Ontario to get a new battery pack installed at Alset Road Ready Solutions.

Real-world range test on our high-mileage (610,000 km) Tesla Model 3. Starting with a full charge at a Tesla Supercharger, we hit Manitoba's highway 75 to find out exactly how much range is left in this well-worn battery.

Tesla Resurrection Part 2
We take our 600,000+ km 2019 Tesla Model 3 into Tesla Service before running a full battery degradation health test in Episode 2 of the Tesla Resurrection series.
After picking up this high-mileage Model 3 in Episode 1, we needed to address a few issues at the Tesla Service Center before we could properly test the original battery. In this episode, we finally run the official battery degradation test to see exactly how much capacity remains after over 600,000 km of real-world driving.
Tesla Resurrection Part 1
We just bought a 2019 Tesla Model 3 with over 600,000 km on the original battery, the highest-mileage Tesla we could find in North America.
In Episode 1 of Tesla Resurrection, we visit a used car dealer to pick up this high-mileage survivor and do a full inspection: battery health scan, mechanical assessment, interior and exterior condition check, and more. How has this Tesla held up after such extreme mileage?
