vs
Battery Tesla or Energizer
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
As an owner of a 2016 model S (bought new) with 228k miles on it, still on original battery with a range reduction of less than 15% compared to new.
Pros: original battery, low range reduction
Mileage: 366939 km
Recently i was able to acquire some Japanese Energizer 2300 and 800mAh AA and AAA batteries...from my experience with the Energizers so far they are much much better then any other NiMH battery I've ever used including the Chinese Panasonic NiMH batteries.
Pros: far better, low discharge
Just replaced mine in my model 3, it lasted about 4.5 years before I get the alert on my app. Had it replaced in less than 20 minutes via mobile service in the app (there was already a tech in the area).
Pros: replaced in 20 minutes
Cons: lasted 4.5 years
I have an early VIN 2020 MYP with 80,000 km; the diagnostic says 87%, so 13% drop in battery health. Range calculation at 100% SOC dropped 4.9%.
Pros: diagnostic says 87%
Cons: 13% drop in health
Mileage: 80000 km
I don't want someone else's crusty ass battery. Charge times are already low and are plentiful (Tesla at least), I don't see the utility of swapping the battery out when I could stop for like 15 mins.
Pros: charge times are low
Cons: unnecessary complication
Vehicle:
Porsche
It's not only Energizer, its also whatever cheap brand I have. Might be a law, I think.
I do hate them, either cutting your fingers or have the cell fly out like a chemical saucer.
Pros: null
Cons: cutting fingers, cell fly
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
