Battery Tesla or OEM Subaru

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

I’m in the UAE, where summers hit around 50°C. This Forester is my first car with auto start-stop, and I’m impressed that the battery lasted a solid 4 years. With my driving habits (lots of short runs), my previous cars’ batteries would barely survive 1–1.5 years. This one lasted more than double that.

Still on vanilla battery. As part of my wife's start process is start car, press button to turn off auto off. Seems to be working.

Our car straight up died on the road twice, to the point it couldn't be jumped, with my kids in the back seat. Subaru eventually gave us an upgraded battery.

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.

My car does not start well. I had replaced the battery myself, which helped it not be so bad.

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.

I recently had to sell my 2013 model s for scrap value because the battery was out of spec. Tesla wanted 25k to replace. It was right at 200,000 miles.

It’s the battery problem. Had same thing happen 3x. No issues after battery upgrade that subi paid for.
