“The battery has a finite lifetime resulting in serious devaluation of the vehicle after 3 years.”
Tesla guarantees the drive-train including batteries for eight years, unlimited mileage.
Real life usage shows that the battery will be between 70 and 80% of capacity after ten years.
after 10 years we could probably replace the battery pack and be back to 100% capacity again
Real life usage shows that the battery will be between 70 and 80% of capacity after ten years.Your wireless mouse doesn't even perform at 70% of capacity.
Don’t believe everything you read. Batteries even LIon are sensitive to how far they are run down, and how fully they are charged. Weather has even a bigger impact. Sub Freezing temperatures will knock more than 50% off the battery even when new.
The rule is generally recharge between 80 and 40 pct for best life. Even so, after 3 years you’ve probably used about 50% of the battery, charges lasting less and less and mileage dwindling. I’m guessing but there will be some fine print involved in the batter.
