- 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.
