In your experience, generally how many years till a battery would need replacement?
Just ordered my new Tesla Y, first time EV owner, anything learnings I should know?
I like the scent of my new tesla it is fading.
I have an embarrassing navigation (may those without sin cast the first stone) location in my history. Deleting it (long press, X) only temporarily removes it and it comes right back. It even taunts me by being in the suggested locations.
I haven’t found anything other than a full reset of the computer. Anyone have any ideas?
Update: swiping right to delete a location works. I checked later and it’s still gone, and so far not showing up as a recommendation.
One of the main concerns I have when looking at whether I should buy an electric car is the range degradation. I drive a hell of a lot in my prius and I put about 190,000 miles on it in the last 6 years. But when I’m looking at the price of a replacement tesla battery, considering I would want to buy a used Tesla, I’m looking at prices from $14-$20,000, whereas extrapolating the math from the 18650 cells I’m buying to build an EBike battery, the cells themselves for a Tesla battery really shouldn’t be more than 5- $6000. (I know Tesla has moved away from 18650 but I think my point of lithium ion cells cost is valid)
Is this 8,000 to $15,000 discrepancy just a function of getting work done by a dealership? In the same way I can replace my own catalytic converter for a few hundred bucks but the shop will charge me two grand? It just really seems like the absolute biggest factor in this consideration; I could buy multiple used Priuses for the same cost if a battery replacement costs me $20,000, but if it costs me $6,000 the math checks out, and I’m going electric ! Obviously the next biggest part of this is I don’t think you can even get a non Tesla shop to install a battery as if any modifications are discovered by Tesla, they’ll disable fast charging! Which completely kills my ability to make the trips I usually make.
Any insight or links to a previous thread is much appreciated!
