Battery Tesla or OEM Audi

The batteries easily last 300k miles even if they're not well taken care of.

I\u2019m glad I have a Tesla with a 16v LV lithium Ion battery. Should last the life of the car like the HV battery.

If I could easily repurpose the cells in my 140k mile Model 3 into home storage for my solar I would rather do that than sell the car. 3% degradation the car itself needed more work than a replacement battery ever would have cost.

It's a lovely car, but very bad on the efficiency. We have a 55 and the range varies from 150 in the winter to 250 in the summer. Honestly, for the money you'll struggle to get more car, it's very comfortable, quick, and has mountains of room inside. Ours is a 2019 on 70k miles, and has had zero issues

Tesla on nmc battery drops around 10% after 8 or 10 years (can't remember exactly) from what I read. But lfp battery is inherently able to have longer life span and charge cycles. On top of inherently having ability to be safer / less explodey.

I don't want someone else's crusty ass battery. Charge times are already low and are plentiful (Tesla at least), I don't see the utility of swapping the battery out when I could stop for like 15 mins.

Yes, 2009 Audi TT, $800 as part of my yearly service in LA. Complained to Service advisor about the labor, and he took 20% off the battery portion.

Based on these comments, I definitely replaced my battery last year wrong. I just ripped out the old one and slapped in the new one. I didn\u2019t code anything haha

Yes. Mine was from 2020 and quit without warning March of this year. Contrary to what some people have said, the car won\u2019t always warn you that the battery is weak.

Yes, my 2021 battery died mid 2024. No warnings, no abnormal behaviour. Luckily it was still under warranty and the towing and repairing were free.
