Battery Tesla or OEM Audi
Can confirm, worked at a battery store for a few years throughout college. Audis for some reason always lasted much longer than any other car brand.
My S4 battery is going on 6 years and it pops off like a brand new battery in Minnesota weather.
Pros: lasts much longer
Vehicle:
Audi S4
It's a Tesla thing.
Tesla doesn't keep a buffer zone at the top end of the battery. 100% means 100% in a Tesla. Tesla advises to only use 100% when you need the extra range.
Pros: 100% means 100%
Cons: no buffer zone
Vehicle:
BMW
My tesla model y recommendation is 90%. I know lfp batteries are recommended to do 100% at least weekly. We do 90% but drive the car about 100 miles every work day so it doesn't even sit at 90% for very long, maybe 3-4 hours.
I have a ‘21 (Dec 2020) M3 LR AWD w/19”. I’ve put 52K miles on it so far. Generally speaking, I’ve seen very little degradation.
Pros: very little degradation
Cons: range overly optimistic
Mileage: 52000 km
I bought a used 2019 LR in 2020 and my estimated range is 302 miles with 48k miles.
Pros: 302 miles range
Mileage: 48000 km
My 2019 M3 with 50K miles says 288 miles today (310 original) but it has been far lower at times (255 miles) and bounces around.
Pros: 288 miles today
Cons: bounces around
Mileage: 50000 km
All Teslas lose about 10% of their range in their first year. And then it levels off considerably after that.
Pros: levels off considerably
Cons: 10% range loss
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.
battery life is astonishingly unpredictable. I drove 20 miles, but lost ~35 miles of range. Not driving crazy, either. Everything else is decent, but can't help but feel like it's a time bomb.
Cons: unpredictable range, significant range loss
2019 model 3 SR with 10% loss based on full charge at 52k miles.
Pros: full charge
Cons: 10% loss
Mileage: 52000 km
