Battery OEM Nissan or Tesla
Reviews
I've owned a 2011 Nissan Sentra since it only had 10 miles. It's been 15 years and the only repairs I have had to do were my own mistakes (hitting curbs and such). I've only ever changed the bands once, but never touched anything else on the engine. The AC/Heater work the same as day 1. One of my windows won't go down with its own button, but I can still control it from the driver side. I've done basic maintenence, oil changes, new brake pads, new windshield wipers, etc. But haven't needed any major work done. Even the batteries have lasted in the car (though this specific year and model had a recall for faulty battery terminals).
The first 10 years or so, I drove it EVERYWHERE in CA. Road trips every weekend and driving through not small car friendly terrain.
In the 15 years, I crashed it twice. No serious injuries and no car blowing up (I've heard so many rumors that Nissans blow in accidents.. they don't anymore than any other car would). It's running a little funky now for the past 2 years, but again, completely my fault. The last crash was full speed at a curb and damaged the mainframe.
It's a little over 200,000 miles and I'm finally looking to get a new car, but im scared I won't find one as reliable. I've had this car since I was 18, I'm 32 now!
Pros: AC/Heater work well, batteries lasted long
Cons: one window button faulty
Vehicle:
Nissan Sentra
Mileage: 321868 km
Ich fahre ein Tesla Model S aus 2016 und habe nun die 233.000km passiert. Akku, Motoren und auch Bremsen noch original. Reparaturen: 3 Türgriffe, ein Querlenker, 1 Rückfahrkammera.
Pros: original battery, original motors, original brakes
Cons: door handles, control arm, camera replaced
Mileage: 233000 km
Mein Vater fährt seinen Tesla S jetzt seit knapp 12 Jahren und der ist immer noch top. Er meckert zwar über ein paar Sachen, aber das ist echt meckern auf hohem Niveau und hat wenig mit der Antriebsart zu tun. Nur Austausch von Verschleißteilen und Kleinigkeiten wie Fensterheber. Batterie hat glaub ich um die 90% SoH.
Pros: still top, good battery health
Cons: minor issues
Hoffe ich kann mein Model 3 LFP noch lange fahren. Akkugesundheit war letztes Jahr noch bei ~91%, mache mich aber nicht verrückt. Garantie auf Akku und Antrieb gilt eh noch bis Ende Dezember 2028. Hab jetzt nach knapp 5 Jahren bisher nur für neue Scheibenwischer, Innenraumfilter und Bremsflüssigkeit messen bezahlt. Mittlerweile hab ich 88Tkm auf der Uhr.
Pros: good battery health, low maintenance
Mileage: 88000 km
Yes. In summer I do 15-16 kWh/100km. In winter 17-20. For a model Y.
Pros: increased winter consumption
I decided to get a 2019 titan at 55k miles haven’t had any major problems! But they do have an electrical problem with the battery. Fix: disconnect a grey plug that’s on the negative cable! It regulates the alternator voltage. It can cause the battery to fail quicker over time! But I like that the truck is always running on 8 cyl and still uses a power steering instead of electric steering!
Pros: no major problems, 8 cylinder engine, power steering
Cons: electrical problem with battery
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 55000 km
I don't know why this is but i always see issues with other batteries on here, get an original one asap from Tesla
Pros: get original Tesla battery
Cons: issues with other batteries
Only problem was when a battery blew and that totalled my last Leaf after 154.000 km (98000miles) .
Cons: battery blew, car totaled
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
Mileage: 154000 km
My only issue is I see my battery range moving down significantly. I'm currently doing calculations to see if the battery will be up for warranty replacement.
Cons: significant battery range decrease
The battery in my 2020 MY quit on me last week at 115k miles.
Cons: battery quit
Mileage: 115000 km
