This seems wrong. Tesla has estimated their batteries to be good for over a million miles[1]. [1] https://www.electrive.com/2020/10/19/tesla-researchers-presen

  But are they good after 10, 15, or 20 years? A battery will wear out due to time alone. This is somewhat true for cars, but not in the same way. Most people will never drive a million miles, but many people will keep a car for 10-20 years.

    There are still lots of 1st year Leafs with original batteries, so we know they last at least 12 years.

      That’s good to know. My LEAF is 6 years old, and has only lost one bar, leaving it with something like 92-93% of its original battery life, which is no major sacrifice. I do wonder how it will look when it reaches 10 years. I’d like to drive it as long as possible.
