Have Tesla’s been around for 15 years? Not sure so we have to wait and see about the battery life. Battery lives are measured in charging cycles so agin6we have to wait and see. We should bkt also forget that the electricity used to charge them is NOT coming from renewable sources, this is marketing BS. You have to have huge huge PV plants to cover the charging needs plus storage facilities. So far not so many, so guess where this electicity comes from…yep from plants that use crude oil , natural gas etc. So again we should look into this holistically.

It’s a good point but I have a coworker with a tesla from 2014 and he still drives it to work every day and the battery is still going great. And batteries typically start to store less charge. so yes in 15 years your tesla will not go as far. But we are talking like around 10 %. You can buy the long range version which is 10% larger. So in 15 years you end up with the base model. But yeah we will have to see. Lots of cars don’t make it from 2014 to now though.

We should also forget that the electricity used to charge them is NOT coming from renewable sources,

  1. highly location dependent.
  2. main point, i’m not actually an environmentalist. I mean I like clean parks and stuff, I don’t want the earth to explode but the environment is the least of my concerns here. The car is faster, no stinking fumes in my garage. I can leave the air condition running forever. It has all these really nice smart features. Batteries make for a better car experience. While I would like for someone to solve those power plant issues I really don’t care that much and would buy the car for the reason that it is a better car than a gas powered car for all my use cases.
