Thank you for the information. Degradation is not my main concern, as I said the distances that I drive are short. my worry is about the lifetime like how does the battery die? does it just keep degrading or does it suddenly die?

My commute is rather short(40-60 kilometers a day) however charging everyday at home seems like a good idea. i'll charge to around 75% which is very good for the battery's health and have each day extra enegry for emergencies and etc (like I said its sunny almost all the time here, rain or snow...

thanks and if I may ask, how many miles did you drive with it?

I see, thank you for the information!

so basically the batteries lifespan is unknown..... kinda scary....

Thank you all, EV's theoretically make sense I guess some people just have certain interests. and solar panels is a consideration(although it is not cheap)

On the other hand the leaf batteries were and are much smaller than tesla's is there any reliable data from tesla even about the process of producing the batteries and its CO2 footprint?

I read specifically about Li-ion though, are you sure about that?

about recycling, does telsa have any plans regarding that? haven't heard they recycled any batteries so far

I see. do you have any idea how other EV's fair in that regard? thank you

Hello Everyone, I consider buying an EV(preferably S or 3) and have a question regarding pollution of EV's. I have read that producing Li-ion Batteries is a very polluting process and that highly toxic metals are used. so is producing a battery for an EV that will eventually will need to be...

94% after 200,000 miles?! that's incredible! and do you have any clue about how the car performs in warm conditions? will the degradation be severe?

Because of the active cooling system? is it that good that even in 40C+ it can keep the battery's temps in check? and do you have any clue about the battery lifetime? thx!

Hello Everyone, I have a couple of questions regarding the battery lifetime+degradation: 1. How long will the Tesla's batteries last? is it 8 like the warranty or maybe 10 or 15?! can we even know for sure? 2. I live in a fairy convient area for EV's, it is rarely raining\snowing and temps...
