Battery Tesla or Duralast
Duralast is a decent brand, I’ve always went with the gold, no real reason just that it’s what was in the car before.
Pros: decent brand
my 2010 4x4 needs a new battery. This one lasted 4 years Duralast Gold.
Pros: lasted 4 years
Tesla on nmc battery drops around 10% after 8 or 10 years (can't remember exactly) from what I read. But lfp battery is inherently able to have longer life span and charge cycles. On top of inherently having ability to be safer / less explodey.
Pros: longer life span, safer
Cons: 10% drop after years
For context, I have a first generation Tesla Model S - 2014. It has 215,000-ish miles on it. The battery capacity has gone down by about 10-12%. It still runs and drives like a dream. It's on the original battery.
Pros: runs and drives great
Cons: battery capacity decreased
Mileage: 346000 km
I've never had any reason to regret my decision in the past 15 months of ownership, and I absolutely love driving it.
Pros: love driving it
I usually get a Duralast Gold from pepboys. Not the cheapest model, but not the super premium one either. Most CCA.
Pros: most CCA
Vehicle:
Mazda
After 3 years, my Tesla Model 3’s battery range dropped about 7 to 15 percent, which seems pretty typical based on what others report. It isn’t catastrophic, but it is definitely noticeable for anyone doing longer trips.
Pros: degradation isn't catastrophic
Cons: range dropped 7-15 percent
My 2021 model 3 is also in for a battery swap. Furtunantely i still got warrenty. Only lasted 100k kilometers.
Pros: still got warrenty
Cons: lasted 100k kilometers
Mileage: 100000 km
Yes, my 2021 battery died mid 2024. No warnings, no abnormal behaviour. Luckily it was still under warranty and the towing and repairing were free.
Pros: towing and repairing free
Cons: no abnormal behaviour
I recently had to sell my 2013 model s for scrap value because the battery was out of spec. Tesla wanted 25k to replace. It was right at 200,000 miles.
Cons: battery out of spec
Mileage: 200000 km
