Tesla EV batteries retain around 90% of their capacity even after driven 320,000 km
A Tesla Model 3 has price equivalency with similar ICE vehicles ($US)
Tesla Model 3 s have the greatest energy efficiency of any EV
Tesla’s have greater range compared with other EV’s

Air quality was much cleaner during the Covid 19 lockdown showing the huge advantage of tailpipe emission free electric vehicles
Thanks for sharing this. Teslas are a bit out of the price range of most of us though. It will be great when prices drop.

Cheaper 1 million mile batteries are not very far away and this will bring price parity with internal combustion engines. Even now when you take the total cost of ownership into account say over five years – electric vehicles – not just Tesla’s are cheaper to own
