This is exactly what I was trying to get at. It sounds like buying a Tesla once it has passed it's warranty is very risky. Mainly because Tesla is one of the only companies locally that can fix the battery. Because of this, I can't get a competitive price for a batter replacement. If what you...

Yeah, the conversation has gone over my head. As an engineer I love all this data and wish I had time to really understand it but I'm about to spend my life savings on a 105k Tesla and I need to know if this logic is not sound: I am using the energy screens to help me determine the health of the...

Exactly, it's been 3-4 years already and at 105k miles the battery is very good and better than that of the other 2. It's right in line with expectations so I would assume that it should hold to 300k miles. Replacing the suspension, drive train, and electronics seems like the biggest issue. I...

And I hear it takes at least a day for it to be on the Tesla app. I need to drive out of state with a friend and then I would like to drive it back. It won't make the journey without a supercharge so I need a way to charge it on the way back.

In order to use a supercharger, don't you have to use the Tesla app and have a car on the Tesla app?

So it's likely that the battery won't degrade any more? Usually with batteries in things like computers and stuff, it will keep degrading until it has difficulty holding a charge and will just suddenly shut off at 20%. Is it wrong to assume that with a Tesla battery?

I really appreciate the information. The other thing is that I'm starting to need a new car as my 2006 Ford Taurus is really showing signs of issues (163k miles). This would be my first car purchase and I was looking for something under $25k that would qualify for the $4k used EV tax credit...

Here is the 58k mile white model specs 207*187/.88 = 43,987 Wh / 52500 Wh = 84% or 16% degradation. Why are these models so much lower than the 105k model? Did the charge being at 100% for the black one have something to do with it?

It's a 2019, I don't have access to the car as it's at the dealer. The miles at the black battery icon said 224 at 100% when I facetimed. It's got to be a SR+ right? At 105k I'm trying to look at another 2019 M3 that I had mentioned earlier and trying to get a screenshot of that energy screen...

Here is the car with 105k miles I am considering buying. They charged it to 100% and the stated that it was a standard range Tesla. I'm assuming it is a SR+. If so then it would be 204 Wh/mi * 241 mi projected= 49164 Wh / 52500 Wh = 93.6 % or 6.35% degradation. That sounds really good. Am I...

I was under the impression that at 30% battery degradation, you needed to replace the battery. Since it's 17%, I was thinking there was a problem and it was nearly halfway there because others have said they expect 5% degradation at 50k miles and around 10% at 150k miles. Because I am new here I...

I'm looking to buy a used Tesla. I went to a dealership and sat in a car and took a picture of the Energy screen. Am I correct to assume that it's battery is not good? 2019 Model 3 Standard Range Plus Odometer: 47,651 209 Wh/Mi for 30 miles average range 183 miles projected SOC: 88% That would...
