Is the battery degradation mostly on miles driven or time. I figure if I bought a Tesla I would only drive it about 10,000 miles a year. Are there any charts that show this?
To me that's the Achilles heel with EVs...the battery. First charging at home, each morning with "a full tank of fuel"...I get it. That's fine for staying close to home.Ah yes that Tesla battery warranty with the qualifier that it will have 70 % of its original capability......so roughly 50% of its "when new range" .....when you account for max and min charge percents reccomended.....
Of late, I am.And who charges their EV with a 110V at home?
I used 2x4s on my S.If u actually owned a Tesla you would know that to lift a Tesla with a Jack or on a lift you have to use rubber pucks. Discount tire uses these as I can attest from my last rotation.
I keep for of these pucks in my frunk.
You know what they say:OMG! I better sell my Tesla now!
Oh, I don't know. I don't have trouble with 150 mile days to the new home site. Even when charging on 120V, just can't do 2 days in a row then unless I use the 240.If u can’t afford one don’t hate.
EVs would work for almost every homeowner that can charge at home and typically drives less than 50 miles per day.
At 10 years my 2013 Model S 85 battery was at 93% of original capacity.Isn't it funny that despite me not being a Tesla owner ( thank God) my Google search sends me right to Tesla and as per pic you see its not do simple Trad, it depends on which model ! And also it has qualifier that warranty only promises battery will maintain 70% capacityView attachment 857386 .....so by napkin math considering experts like you also tell us you charge only up to 80% and don't let go below 10% ......so conservatively a worn battery at 70% would only have roughly 50% of it capacity actually usable and significant range impacts. of course ....but I am sure us EV realists are just morons and idiotic thinking this way eh Trad
Financed my Model S 10 years ago at 1.49%. Stupid not to.Well...except my wife & I 52 years ago each bought a new car which we financed...but never again since.
