Here is a battery story.
Local woman bought a Tesla in 2013 to help save the planet. Went thru a puddle car died. Tesla charged her $18k for repairs, included a new battery. Lady finds out she can get $10k for the bad battery or hers fixed for $2800. Tesla won't return it to her. With the help of a lawyer, she finds out that for warranty or service etc, Tesla gets to keep all the old parts. Because of all the bad press, they have since made a non disclosure deal. https://wsvn.com/news/help-me-howard/battling-tesla/ |

That's a good question. I looked for the answer but no official numbers. All that I know are 2 people with older Model S. One is a 2013 and the other one a 2014. Last time I talked to them, the 2014 had 185k miles and still got 90% of the original range and the 2013 had 175k and also got around 90% of the original range.

Tesla batteries are extremely durable, especially those who are mostly charged at home at Level 2. I know of at least 1 Model X that was exclusively supercharged that was sold a few years ago with 400k miles on the original battery. That car was part of Tesloop which operated between Las Vegas and LA. A taxi driver in germany is on his 3rd battery and has 1.3 million miles on the car which means that he got quite a lot of miles on each battery. |

Tesla owns any parts taken off your car, greatly negating any offset. This woman believed her insurance would handle the battery initially. |

When the "I know a guy" arguments have come up, I have referenced my coworker with a Model S Plaid that I have driven a few times.
This is the same car that has had multiple issues. Last week another... yes ANOTHER motor failed, the 3rd one overall. This was in the parking lot today. |

![]() It's not like this doesn't happen to gas trucks. Propulsion doesn't prevent driver stupidity. I have seen trucks stuck in the sand at Daytona Beach before.. |
