Hello,
I bought a mid range in 2018, which at the time meant a max range of 260 "ideal miles" but generally charged to 230 at 90% daily use.
Six years later, the new recommendation is charge to 80%, but if I were to do 90%, that would currently only get me to around 200 miles of "ideal range". This is a degradation of 13% in six years, which is still only half of what the warranty accounts for.
So, in the eventuality of a battery replacement, is it possible to upgrade to a long range battery in the same car? Or is there a limitation based on battery size in the chassis or something like that?
Also, what can I expect in terms of cost? 10k? 15k? Thanks for any info you can give.
