Battery Tesla or Varta

Varta working for 6 years

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

Varta are the best ones I ever used. I use them in my car key too and its the only battery that lasts years instead of 2 months at most.

I'm going to turn 230k miles on my 2018 model 3 tomorrow. The only time it has been to a service center is when the 12v battery died on a road trip. Other than that, I've put tires on it. I'm at about 21% degradation but everything still runs as it should. I'm hoping to get to 300k miles on the original battery.

I still use a factory Audi (Varta) from 2014, so 11 years, but I'm not sure it will survive the first -15-25C this winter.

My VARTA on the e46 compact lasted 8years

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.

My 2021 model 3 is also in for a battery swap. Furtunantely i still got warrenty. Only lasted 100k kilometers.

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
