## Road Warrior

Hansjörg Gemmingen just set a new world record with his Tesla.

The German man is the proud owner of a Model S P85, one of the oldest versions of the vehicle. On July 14, he tweeted [two](<https://twitter.com/gem8mingen/status/1150375291421888512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>) [images](<https://twitter.com/gem8mingen/status/1150364919197503488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw>) showing that the odometer on his car displayed 900,000 kilometers (559,350 miles) — setting the new world mileage record for any model Tesla.

## World Record

According to an *Inside EVs* [story](<https://insideevs.com/news/359939/tesla-model-s-900000-kilometers-odometer/>), Gemmingen's Tesla is now on its second battery pack but still has its original motor — an incredible feat for any vehicle, electric or fossil fuel-powered.

However, while Gemmingen's Model S might now hold the *world* record for highest mileage, there's still one Tesla that's traveled farther: SpaceX's [Starman-piloted Roadster](<https://www.whereisroadster.com/>) has already racked up more than 1.1 billion kilometers (700 million miles) in space.
