I'd say any electric car, other than the early nissan leaf. Most batteries will last a couple hundred thousand miles without losing much capacity.

He would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those pesky kids

Fine.

First of all, only 1% of gas cars make it to 200k miles. So even if we accept your contention about battery loss, 99% of EVs will last as long as gas cars.

Second, EVs lose experience about 10% capacity loss per 100k miles. Some a little more, some a little less. So at 200k miles they'll still have somewhere around 80% of their initial range. Your 20% estimate is wrong, except maybe for Nissan Leaf which had poor heat management. My Chevy bolt had 50k miles on it with no appreciable capacity loss.

Third, battery replacement on a tesla is around $13k which is not 5-10 times the cost of the car. Battery prices are also decreasing as more of them are made, so the cost will be lower in the future.

I don't expect any of this will change your mind, since it's based on Fox News talking points, but I don't want other people misled.

Not a tesla fan, but also not in the business of refuting uninformed but confidently held opinions.

There's a lot of misinformation here that I'm not even going to bother to respond to

A generation of George Lucas's thought that was peak romantic dialog.

My parents have a 2013 Model S that's doing just fine. It'll last 20 years I'm sure.

They last as long or longer than most ICE cars

I was feeling stupid for a minute there
