[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The claim is that battery capacity degrades 2-3% year. So, if the battery’s original mileage capacity was small, the recharge capacity after ten years (70-80%) might make the car impractical for anyone other than someone in a small town doing nearby errands, like a retired person. The reduced mileage capacity could impact resale prices. [/quote] The cars are built with reserve battery capacity to avoid that, and batteries are actually holding up better in practice than people expected because the pattern of actual use puts less demand on the battery than lab testing. Again no one is seeing 30% loss in an 10 year old Tesla. Here’s an article suggesting a 12% loss after 200,000 miles. https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/advice/tesla-batteries [/quote]
