Battery Tesla or OEM Volkswagen

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.

Finally got the LH Battery put in today.... Had been putting it off for a few months. It went a lot better than I thought it would, all things considered.

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.

I have seen some test results on ID3 after 100000 km and still everything is quite good on the car. Battery is not damaged like on a cellphone if that is your worry.

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.

VW OEM batteries in modern cars often do that. I was lucky to detect slightly "lazy" cranking in my 2018 GSW 4Mo. Tested and showed %51 SOH even after fully charging it. Lasted 6 years almost to the date.

My golf 2010 VW dashboard ****s down but car remains running. When it don't start take out the battery touch the two cables together with out the battery. For 15 seconds to reboot the car and it starts back.

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.
