How are LFP batteries holding up?

[kelvin 660]

LFP batteries have been around now for about 9 months and I was wondering how they are holding up in terms of degradation.

So do you have a SR+ with LFP batteries? Do you use TeslaFi? If so, can you post a PDF of the battery degradation chart?

As an example, I have posted a PDF of mine. However it uses NCA batteries. According to the chart it has lost 9% in 12 months. It will be interesting to compare this with LFP to see if there is a major difference...

You’d still outgun most things on the road in a SR+ (less so if you have the RWD!)

He means acceleration bragging rights.

Ahhh sure, but it’s still plenty fast (not …)

Some comments (and pictures) come with a wry smile of course ... indeed, SR+ acceleration approximates that of a Ferrari Testarossa ... but that's slower than a Model 3 LR, and the LR is slower than a Model 3 Performance... so you've just got to know your place i.e. grin and bear it!

sr+ is RWD...

sr+ is RWD...

The SR+ had a more powerful motor than the current RWD. The 0-60 of the SR+ was 5.3 which changed to 5.8 on the rwd. There was a crossover of cars with the more powerful motor and bigger 60 kWh battery in Q4 last year.

I think it is more of horses for the courses than just comparing acceleration/charging speed/ and not able to charge 100%.

We don’t lug around with 2 Jerry can full of petrol when using an ICE car even if you are travelling in a small car across the country. I understand the increased availability of petrol/diesel compared to chargers etc.,

Sometimes I have regretted not buying a LR but it is only when I go to Cornwall. With SR+ I have to stop twice for charging before reaching my destination with LR I am sure I don’t have to do that. But still I may have to stop twice for comfort breaks. So for me it doesn’t make much difference except some peace of mind when doing long trips. For others may be bit different.

And also I don’t mind stopping at Amesbury, Lifton or Exeter. I am sure we have someone from Amesbury in the forum, if they put pressure on that petrol station to fix their loo that will be great. But I love the little Arundale cafe/pub in Lifton, So 2 stops are welcome. It is SR or the current RWD for me.

My other half wants to stop every hour, so the car never needs to be plugged in for long lol
