Battery Tesla or Bosch

Probably the easiest car to swap a battery on imo. Just remove and replace, negative off first. Bosch is good quality, but not required...Use 80Ah 12V.

I am using Bosch battery for my BMW, going through my 2nd, it lasts for 2 years+, less than 50% of the price of the dealership

Also the original equipment Bosch battery that came in my wife's 2006 TDI Golf when we bought it in 2015. The good ones aren't available anymore by the time they wear out.

Had a Tesla (my username checks out) Model S since 2012 in Ottawa. No problem. Prepare to lose range during winter. (20%ish ) Preheating is key. Check out PlugShare for charging stations. I drove the car in -32 and +32 ! It’s great.

Tesla Model 3 long range and 2018 Leaf for over a year now.

Winter is about 30% less range at very cold, worse for short drives where you need to heat a lot for the whole drive (and if battery is cold). In the later case you're near home so it doesn't matter.

I have a Tesla Model 3 I got last year and drove it every day during last winter. No problems other than it uses a bit more of your battery to go. Also using the heat uses a bit more battery as well. I would say about a 20-25% loss in range compared to summer driving.

All Teslas lose about 10% of their range in their first year. And then it levels off considerably after that.

There is a known random issue with 400 packs. On mine, it is always when I turn on the bike. The speedometer doesn't come on and there is no assist. What I learned about on the internet is to push the test button on the battery with the bike turned on and it will reset and work just fine.

My first Tesla battery died after 1.5 years of gentle use and the replacement they gave me is currently at 84%. Just like my 2 year old iPhone. Batteries degrade much more than these studies suggest.

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.
