Tesla doesn’t give you a new battery under warranty. It’s a refurbished battery. They replace bad cells in a pack with new ones but don’t touch the old cells. This is like mixing old and new light bulbs. The old ones are just as likely to fail as the bad ones. Thus, these refurbished packs often need to be replaced again.

Not everyone buying EVs has bought into the climate activism agenda. Both types have their pro's/cons, not convinced either is significantly better in that area. If your aim is to limit human impact on earth vs using earth to maximize human flourishing, then your end agenda is depopulation with a fair bit of human suffering along the way.

The same took place with conventional Detroit made cars. New models appearing every year in the matket, driving used cars down. E-Vs are evolving by leaps-and-bonds. Getting better every year. Furthermore, conventional vehicles became Computers on 4 wheels. Chips and electronics go bust, if a car is left for one year parked in a garage. Gone are the days when a car left for years in a barn, could be started after a fair maintenance session.

It's far less grim than this video depicts. First, if you are in US, 30% point of sale credit on used EV up to $4K, up to $7.5K off new. Takes a bite out of the fear on the front end. Given how low many used prices are right now, great value to be had in a used Tesla. I have 135K mikes on my original 10yo Tesla battery. It's doing great and am not worried in the least about this FUD. When purchased I priced out the breakeven miles to pay for battery replacement and made an informed decision with good understanding of risk.

I remember Elon said after 200,000 miles the vehicle would have 80% of its battery life. There is an engineering channel where he tests and rates the batteries in different EV’s. If I’m not mistaken, Tesla was at the top. Kona did reasonably well also

Yes if the battery is treated properly, as in never overcharge beyond 80per ent or grossly run it out all the time, it can go a long time. With that said, 80 percent is not good. Look at a regular lead acid battery, with no load if it reads 12 volts even it’s toast

Tesla model 3 battery and motor made to last 500k miles, 15-20 years. There are plenty of model 3 LR that have 300-400k+ miles on original everything. IMO EV will last 2x more than average ice car. I had 2 EVs now and plenty of BMW’s, Audi, Mercedes which are money pits after warranty expires. I love my 2018 model 3, with 100k miles, saved thousands on fuel, still have original brakes, battery has 92% life left. Also batteries for model 3 is $10k, engine replacement on bmw/audi is also $10k+. In reality EVs have 50 moving parts vs 500+ moving parts on ice car. There is way more things to break on ice car.

@Areku06 key here is you have a Tesla. An outsized portion of those disappointed in their EVs bough a half-hearted adapted design from a large ICE manufacturer, vs a purebred solution. Others bought from a small startup, which will naturally have more issues. Look at how far Tesla has come since the S launch 12 years ago.

The talent on display is incredible!

I expect a Tesla to be like an iPhone. Disposable after the battery goes unless it’s worth spending 20 k for a replacement battery!

Sir, the Chevrolet Volt is one of the best EREVs out there. 160k miles and getting my 70-85 km out of a single charge.

Based on what data itˆs a given that batteries will need to be replaced after 10 years?

Battery prices has come down and will continue to do so. In ten to 12 years (in an ICE car the motor and transmission will be gone since they are designed for 150,000 miles only) Quote "The price of EV batteries is projected to drop 40% between 2023 and 2025, per a new Goldman Sachs research note." March 15, 2024. That is only a two year span. !2 years the battery will be very cheap, and there will be a business for replacing old batteries for newer ones that use less rare metals. The old battery will make several new batteries.

You’ve so hit the nail on the head with the current probs of the electric cars! I’m all for protecting the planet from the harm we humans are causing on a daily basis , but reality is , the average Joe can’t afford to buy electric cars and of course the resulting running costs, batteries, not enough infrastructure, unable to plan longer journeys without range anxiety , etc etc… as it currently stands it’s just a gimmick for the rich and the need for more production of electricity ⚡️ ….. well what is producing electricity at the power stAtions presently? 😑. Although I’m not a fan, I agree that the hybrid is still the best balance we have at the moment 😐. I wish they’d carry on investing on the hydro cell technology tbh…. As it stands at the moment , electric cars aren’t the real solution unfortunately, I know we have to start somewhere but unless you’re just doing short journeys and the batteries aren’t improved, we’re not there yet with electric cars, invest on hydrogen technology!

There’s a lot of wrong information in this video regarding EVs. The main point about battery replacement is very wrong. EV batteries last 10-20 years. Many Teslas are on the same battery and have gone 200,000+ miles. They don’t cost $20,000 to replace. Currently a Tesla battery replacement is $10,000-$12,000 and it’s only getting cheaper with time.
