Battery Tesla or Deka

You can get an Deka AUX18L from batterymart.com for $159 shipped to your door. Deka is the OE manufacturer of the BMW battery for the i3. My original battery lasted 7 years, it’s a no-brainer.

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

I'm going to turn 230k miles on my 2018 model 3 tomorrow. The only time it has been to a service center is when the 12v battery died on a road trip. Other than that, I've put tires on it. I'm at about 21% degradation but everything still runs as it should. I'm hoping to get to 300k miles on the original battery.

I use Deka sealed batteries so less offgassing messing up terminals.

I have 2014 Tesla 85 s that I bought a year and half ago . It had 95,000 miles on it. It now has 117,000 on it. Original battery. Still going strong.

I only use deka on my service rig. Usa made quality. Though listed at 540 CCA, MY Midtronics tester shows they output 650 - 750 CCA.. I easily get 7 years use in the field with these.

Owned a model Y for 2 years and 65k miles (9% battery degradation for those wondering). It got extremely boring and I was tired of the constant nagging from the car.

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

I do worry about the battery and 3 years in my big battery died and thankfully I was in my garage. I shudder to think if it had happened on a freeway! Tesla gave me a new battery but I still think about it often.

Knowing what I know now I would. My 2021 was built in July 2021 and about a year ago my car bricked on me and wouldn\u2019t start. I had zero warning ahead of time.
