So far I have 6 years use on 8 -9 year old volt battery pack. Maybe lost 5% capacity, cant tell exactly because measurement is imprecise. I got 4 years on the FLA pack that was replaced by the current volt pack mostly for the weight reduction and current increase.

So $2200 purchase, maybe $1.15 a day charging for 26 mile round trip to work, just not worth calculating costs.

Based on current useage, telsa expects their vehicle to be scrapped long before the pack dies.
