Could be. My memory tells me they were cooled but not heated but it could be the opposite. Anyway, i'm in the pnw and while it's mostly mild, it must take only a few days a year of an extreme to really make the difference.
Well obviously that is true in a lot of areas
I agree with everything you said. I guess i wish there was a way to determine the battery life in all these new vehicles coming out. Basing longevity on battery chemistry or manufacturer seems a fools errand. Longevity seems to vary by car...
This is an EV Battery related, not specific to Tesla. I own a 2015 and 2018 Kia Soul ev. I obviously loved the first one so much that we have another one in the family. The only gripe is battery longevity. Kia has a great a warranty, 70% soh and they replace the pack (refurbished from...
I do 99% of my charging at home but i sure hope this will mean that other networks will also be open to tesla! Around here i've seen several tesla owners use a chademo adapter but i'd like to see one big open network, i don't care about branding.

I'm going to guess that you won't be able to replace them as they are part of the frame. That said, i expect them to outlast the rest of the components with all the talk about million mile batteries. I'd hedge my bets for future years by buying more range than you need!
On a side note, my...
