2170 battery life expectancy. "If made into a car battery pack, 1,200 cycles would translate to roughly 300,000 miles (480,000 km) – meaning that a battery pack could still retain about 95% of its original energy capacity after ~300,000 miles – or 25 years at the average 12,000 miles per year.
Supposition.

so that means after 1.2 million KM's a telsa will have a range of 480km instead of 600km's but still be able to be used.......
Seeing as tesla's haven't been around for 25 years; the figures are very rubbery. It assumes a linear rate of decay.

the model S r about 5-6 years old don't see lots of Tesla owners up in arms about failing batteries Lee
Still a L-o-o-n-g way from 25 years.

Fingers crossed hay lee,, maybe in another 10 years it might happen
I don't really care. You are the one making assumptions.
Why don't you buy one seeing as you think they are so good?
and yet there r Tesla's that have done 500.000km's with little battery loss.
So further into the future, those that made the battery say they will be good and other chemists that have looked at the chemistry.
so they will either work or not work in 10 years , only time can tell
Most of these issue your thinking might happen one day will probably never effect the original owners of the cars anyway if they can do over a million km's.
Really it will only make a difference to the owners of these car's
