The first model Ss that have hit 10 years and 200k miles have shown an average of 3% battery capacity decrease. Car batteries aren't phone batteries :)

- FullyFunctional 8y agoAND, that used battery is highly valuable still (useful for power walls). That line of argument is pure unconcealed FUD.
- whatever1 8y agoWhy then the manufacturers don’t just buy them back and give you the new one for peanuts ?
- FullyFunctional 8y agoThey do buy them back, but the new one isn't peanuts [EDIT: I don't exactly know the current cost of a new battery]. Also: it's not a sudden cliff, but a gradual degradation and 10 years is very conservative. BTW: I have read that there is a big demand for used Tesla batteries from a sizable DIY powerwall crowd.

- davidgould 8y agoHas it really been 10 years since the Model S came out? ..., well, maybe a very short 10 years - the Model S came out in 2012.
