Battery Tesla or Bosch

For an all-arounder, the Tesla Highland refresh LR RWD is likely the answer. OOSR tested it and got 4.9 miles per kWh (204 Wh/mile) on their 70 mph highway cruising test, besting a Lucid Air Grand Touring by almost 15%.

The battery in my MB was the original Bosch so 20 years old when I replaced it.

(for general reference Lion are one of the worst battery brands out there. Exide are OK but that's far too expensive. Bosch and Varta are generally the exact same product with different stickers on and are always good, and rarely all that expensive.

I will second a class 3 Bosch. I have one in a hilly city that absolutely rocks the steeps and has a great battery life. Going on 2 years strong and I've had zero battery issues. It rains a lot here but no problems with the Shimano drivetrain either, just regular maintenance.

At 4 years both our Teslas appear to have essentially the same range as new. Which is to say a bit lower than Tesla advertised but no worse

Warranty: side repeater, spoiler, battery (at 82k)

After 3 years, my Tesla Model 3’s battery range dropped about 7 to 15 percent, which seems pretty typical based on what others report. It isn’t catastrophic, but it is definitely noticeable for anyone doing longer trips.

The Bosch has slightly lower Cold Cranking Amps at 330 vs the Yuasa at 360. Also Bosch has 4 yr warranty vs Yuasa 5yr.

A few hours later he came back with a new S4 018 Bosch battery (original one was Yuasa HSB056). He assured me it had the same specs, despite being a different brand (40Ah, 12V). He installed it, and then told me it was a “slightly different base size” from the old one.

The battery in my 2020 MY quit on me last week at 115k miles.
