Battery Tesla or AC DELCO
I bought a used 2019 LR in 2020 and my estimated range is 302 miles with 48k miles.
Been recently thinking that 100 packs of ACDelco for AA and AAA are the best value per watt usage
Had a Tesla (my username checks out) Model S since 2012 in Ottawa. No problem. Prepare to lose range during winter. (20%ish ) Preheating is key. Check out PlugShare for charging stations. I drove the car in -32 and +32 ! It’s great.
Tesla Model 3 long range and 2018 Leaf for over a year now.
Winter is about 30% less range at very cold, worse for short drives where you need to heat a lot for the whole drive (and if battery is cold). In the later case you're near home so it doesn't matter.
I have a Tesla Model 3 I got last year and drove it every day during last winter. No problems other than it uses a bit more of your battery to go. Also using the heat uses a bit more battery as well. I would say about a 20-25% loss in range compared to summer driving.
Currently I have ac delco batteries in every car I own. I work at a Cadillac dealership though so I get good prices on them and they're good batteries.
The old battery I had in mine was an AC Delco, model ACD41-60 (I'm guessing size 41, 60-month warranty). Sticker said 685 CCA, 330 for charge. It's raining outside right now and I don't have any pictures of the sticker for my current one. The Delco battery finally died after being 8 years old. It showed signs of aging and being weak for about 3 months before that, and then one of the cells shorted out, so it had about a 5-amp capacity.
How practical is a Tesla for a person with a 30-mile commute (each way)? Between my commute and running around, I probably spend $80 per week on gas.
A month ago I bought a 2022 M3P with 7k miles, was at 310 estimated fully charged, now 280 all of a sudden at 10k miles.
In March of this year I replaced my battery for 98 Civic Ex with an autozone Ac Delco one. With the colder days I started to notice slower cranks if the car had been sitting a day or longer.
