in 2013, there was no data to tell what happens after 8 years of typical use, first Model S was just a year old by then and even more intensely used ones didn't have that much use - 8 years of normal use equivalent. Now there are many of those that were driven beyond median lifetime of a vehicle.
- tjoff 9y agoI have no idea what to make of the claim that no further degradation is expected. It's not like batteries are a new not understood technology, batteries don't behave like that. Is that an ad? It is expected for the capacity to drop off significantly with age. The main weapon tesla has used against this is good cooling and sensible charging patterns, but that is just stalling the inevitable.
