Battery Tesla or Duralast
The batteries easily last 300k miles even if they're not well taken care of.
Pros: long lifespan, durable
Mileage: 482802 km
Recently installed the Duralast Platinum. One week in and everything is working like a new battery should be.
Pros: working as expected, good performance
I drove over to Autozone and asked to borrow their battery/alternator scanner. CC amperage was way down, so just threw a new battery in there, and all is good. Ended up costing $230 even with tax, and $22 core charge credit for their Duralast with a 3 year warranty.
Pros: new battery, all good
Cons: CC amperage way down
Vehicle:
Kia
I\u2019m glad I have a Tesla with a 16v LV lithium Ion battery. Should last the life of the car like the HV battery.
Pros: 16v lithium Ion battery
If I could easily repurpose the cells in my 140k mile Model 3 into home storage for my solar I would rather do that than sell the car. 3% degradation the car itself needed more work than a replacement battery ever would have cost.
Pros: minor battery degradation
Cons: car needed more work
Mileage: 140000 km
Just a heads up I had same issue with my Titan and it was the battery. I purchased a cheaper battery and 6 months in I get only a click when trying to start truck. Sometimes would start sometimes not. Then I bought the same battery again to see if that would fix the issue. This time it didn\u2019t start at all with the same type of battery, tested 100% charge and 100% battery life. So I said let me try buying a better quality battery just to see if anything happens, sure enough the truck started. It has kept starting ever since.
Pros: truck started, issue fixed
Cons: cheaper battery failed
Vehicle:
Nissan
Owned a model Y for 2 years and 65k miles (9% battery degradation for those wondering). It got extremely boring and I was tired of the constant nagging from the car.
Cons: extremely boring, constant nagging
Mileage: 65000 km
Warranty: side repeater, spoiler, battery (at 82k)
Pros: warranty covered
Mileage: 82000 km
people are saying no, but i 100% would. one of my model 3s warned me in advanced, but the other died with no warning in a parking lot. the battery is only $85 from tesla service if you install yourself, you can pickup without an appointment. i personally change mine every 2 1/2 years now because they die at 3 years for me
Pros: warned me in advanced
Cons: died with no warning
Yes. Mine was from 2020 and quit without warning March of this year. Contrary to what some people have said, the car won\u2019t always warn you that the battery is weak.
Cons: quit without warning
