Battery Tesla or OPTIMA

I had an older optima yellow top last about 10 years. I miss when that quality was available

On my 2014 Leaf SV I put in an Optima Yellowtop and it lasted over 7 years.

I have a 10 year old yellow top Optima (not even the nicest thing out there) that starts a 440 (often 9 months between starts) every time. I haven't even put a tender on it in the last 5 years.

Optima yellow top. It's around $300 ish. The last one was replaced after a decade. The new one I have will probably be the last one.

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

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

After 3 years, my Tesla Model 3’s battery range dropped about 7 to 15 percent, which seems pretty typical based on what others report. It isn’t catastrophic, but it is definitely noticeable for anyone doing longer trips.

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.

people are saying no, but i 100% would. one of my model 3s warned me in advanced, but the other died with no warning in a parking lot. the battery is only $85 from tesla service if you install yourself, you can pickup without an appointment. i personally change mine every 2 1/2 years now because they die at 3 years for me

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.
