Thank you.
As I understand it, the Tesla warranty was factored into the purchase price as a way to stabilize the TCO, and has little to do with the physical lifecycle of the lithium cells.
Sodium looks very promising, but it's "not there yet."

Where does that understanding come from? Because Tesla's warranty is consistent with every other manufacturers warranty that I have seen, basically 4000-5000 cycles is standard for grid storage lithium ion.
- anonymousiam 2y agoThe warranty doesn't guarantee that the batteries will not fail, it just compensates the owner when they do. Buyers may be hesitant to purchase an expensive system such as a Powerwall or a Cybertruck unless the system comes with a warranty. So Tesla can raise the sales price to cover the inevitable warranty claim, and the purchaser will be none the wiser.
- epistasis 2y agoIt's clear how warranties work, what's not clear to me is why Tesla would be using them in a way different from any other use of them over the years, and why every single other manufacturer is also using them in some sort of different way.
