Battery Tesla or OEM Honda
Just got the notification on my 2019 m3p. Scheduled an appointment for Tuesday. 6 years and 1 month of ownership 77k miles in Ohio. Pretty good longevity if you ask me!
When I experienced a sluggish start, it was the battery. In my experience, this car prefers Honda batteries. It’s been going strong for 3 years now. It’s also one of the more affordable batteries.
The batteries easily last 300k miles even if they're not well taken care of.
I still get my batteries from the dealership because they last the longest and cost the least, for some reason.
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.
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.
Currently, a bit over 3 grand (labour included), at least for the Civic/Accord Hybrids.
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.
My first Tesla battery died after 1.5 years of gentle use and the replacement they gave me is currently at 84%. Just like my 2 year old iPhone. Batteries degrade much more than these studies suggest.
Battery on my '22 HRV Sport died within the first year of owning the car. Honda agreed it was defective.
