vs
Battery Tesla or Energizer
Now I stick to Energizer Max batteries, they claim a 10 year shelf life, and I have some that are 5 years old that are still near 100% state of charge, with no leaks.
Pros: 10 year shelf life, no leaks
I had an Energizer battery last 13 years in my ranger. Problem was when it came time to change it I couldn't find them anywhere.
Pros: last 13 years
Cons: couldn't find replacement
Bought my Energizer back in 2013, haven’t let me down once :)
Pros: haven’t let me down
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.
Pros: no problem
Cons: lose range during winter
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.
Pros: instantaneous torque at 0
Cons: 30% less range
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.
Pros: electricity is pennies compared to gas
Cons: 20-25% loss in range
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.
Mine went at 32K...just crapped out on me one morning. Luckily I work part-time at a Tire/Battery Garage. Put in an Energizer group size 47 (as stated above)
Cons: crapped out one morning
Mileage: 32000 km
Name brand but avoid ebay. I bought some energizers and panasonics from more than one (supposedly reputable) ebay seller a while back that didn't last more than a month or so.
Cons: didn't last long
Vehicle:
Kia
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.
Pros: 310 estimated fully charged
Cons: 280 all of a sudden
Mileage: 10000 km
