Episode 1 of Road to a Million starts here: we just picked up a 2026 Tesla Model 3 RWD from the Tesla Service Center in Winnipeg, Manitoba and we're setting out to drive it to 1,000,000 km (or miles). No shortcuts, no hiding the bad stuff. CATL, the company behind this car's LFP battery pack, has claimed their batteries can last up to a million miles. Nobody's actually tested that in the real world. So we're going to find out — tracking every drive, every charging session, every tire change, every windshield chip, and every cost along the way. In this episode: 0:00 Intro 1:03 Backstory 5:09 Picking up the car 6:37 Setting up the Car 11:52 The Why 17:42 Meet the Driver 26:06 Drivers First Mission Can a rear-wheel-drive Tesla with a smaller LFP battery really survive a Canadian winter, let alone a million kilometers? Follow along as we find out the good, the bad, and the ugly. Drop a comment: how many kilometers (or miles) do you think this Model 3 will go before the battery gives out?

This Tesla Has One Job: Survive a Million Kilometres
Eric reviews his personal 2026 Tesla Model Y vs the 2027 Rivian R2 and walks away arguing these two shouldn't even be considered competitors, despite landing in nearly the same price range and both being considered an SUV. Full breakdown covers exterior and build quality, interior space and comfort, tech and software, storage, driving feel, and charging performance. Things take a bit of a turn after driving the R2 back from Manitoba to Fort Collins, Colorado. Eric hit efficiency issues he didn't see on the way out and didn't expect to see driving it back. A candid look at how the R2 performs on the exact road-trip route he's run many times in his Model Y. If you're cross-shopping these two or just curious how a 4-year Tesla owner sees the R2, this one's for you. We've just finished development of our Rivian R2 DIY PPF kits and they'll be coming to driveprotected.com very soon.
