vs
Battery Tesla or OEM Honda
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
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 had a 12v battery give me a low voltage warning and they just came around and changed it.
Pros: easy replacement
Cons: low voltage warning
2020 SR+ 51K I get about 229 miles at 100%, advertised range was 250 when it was purchased new.
Pros: 229 miles at 100%
Cons: range loss
Mileage: 51000 km
2018 M3P with 54K and it is right at 7%
Pros: right at 7%
Mileage: 54000 km
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
I have two Honda City and the first one had the battery changed after the first year, I knew this wasn't normal and Honda insisted that's perfectly normal.
It all boils down to the idling stop feature, to allow that feature these cars use a specific type of battery, but even then the idling stop completely destroys the battery, on top of being useless.
Cons: idling stop destroys battery
Vehicle:
Honda City
