Battery Tesla or OEM Subaru

Tesla Battery

For context, I have a first generation Tesla Model S - 2014. It has 215,000-ish miles on it. The battery capacity has gone down by about 10-12%. It still runs and drives like a dream. It's on the original battery.

Pros: runs and drives great
Cons: battery capacity decreased
Mileage: 346000 km

I've never had any reason to regret my decision in the past 15 months of ownership, and I absolutely love driving it.

Pros: love driving it

As an owner of a 2016 model S (bought new) with 228k miles on it, still on original battery with a range reduction of less than 15% compared to new.

Pros: original battery, low range reduction
Mileage: 366939 km

Just replaced mine in my model 3, it lasted about 4.5 years before I get the alert on my app. Had it replaced in less than 20 minutes via mobile service in the app (there was already a tech in the area).

Pros: replaced in 20 minutes
Cons: lasted 4.5 years

My 2019 M3 with 50K miles says 288 miles today (310 original) but it has been far lower at times (255 miles) and bounces around.

Pros: 288 miles today
Cons: bounces around
Mileage: 50000 km

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

Pros: levels off considerably
Cons: 10% range loss

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.

Cons: battery died prematurely, replacement degraded quickly

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.

Cons: unpredictable range, significant range loss

I had this happen in my 2020 outback around 37k miles. Dead battery was the culprit. Fortunately I shut off all my electronics and lights and it had just enough power to get it to restart. I got the battery replaced by Subaru under the extended 5 year warranty from a settlement for premature battery failure. It failed right after my 36k service at the dealer I think the car was about 4 years old at the time.

Pros: replaced under warranty
Cons: dead battery, premature failure
Mileage: 59545 km

This happened to me during rush hour on a busy street! 2020 Legacy, they told me it was a known issue with the battery and replaced it for free. It was an incredibly stressful morning though.

Pros: replaced for free
Cons: stressful morning, known issue
Vehicle: Subaru Legacy
