That is a crock of bull. A million miles is enough to drive around the equator of the Earth about 40 times, and driving the most I ever have, about 390 miles a week, about 52 years of life. That is bullshit. But what if I am an average person, maybe a retiree, who drives maybe only 10 miles a week? Then your fantasy battery would last me about 1,900 years.
A pretty impressive feat.
And that is all based on your LOWEST figure.
A battery's TRUE life will be largely determined by the USER and how they drive. And how they charge. Whatever fantasy pipe dream you and Elon are smoking, that is a purely theoretical static figure based on ideal, fixed, laboratory conditions.
I give these batteries about a five year life to where they are measurably performing less than when new and by ten years, no matter how you drive, virtually DEMANDING replacement.
And, as usual, you are full of shit.
"For example, some Tesla owners have reported that their battery functions at approximately 95 percent of its original ability after only 50,000 miles. Depending on the Tesla model, a 5 percent decrease in battery range could equate to around 20 miles less distance per charge when starting at 400 miles of range.
The more interesting statistic comes from older Teslas. Those same cars that saw only a five percent loss in battery efficiency after the first 50,000 miles saw their battery decrease only another 5 percent in the next 100,000 miles.
Most Tesla owners with cars that past an odometer reading of higher than 150,000 miles report that their
Tesla still operates with 90 percent efficiency when it comes to the battery. Based on these metrics, the company can postulate that a Tesla with 500,000 miles on it would still be able to operate at a minimum of 80 percent efficiency.
These numbers seem to point to the conclusion that Tesla batteries while degrading over time, do so less drastically and at a slower pace than every other
electric car battery. The Tesla battery, while it may lose power, does so in a way that drivers remain virtually unaffected.
The impressive thing about a Tesla comes from the evidence above wherein the older the car gets, the slower and more gradual the process of battery degradation becomes. It is for this reason that Tesla makers and owners believe that in some instances, their car could actually outlast them."
