A neighbor follows Tesla a bit.
Evidently,when one uses a Supercharger,the car's electronics are interrogated in real-time. The data streams,analyzed by Tesla, indicate that,if owners continue to behave as they are,then the trajectory for Tesla OEM packs reflect an anticipated 20-year lifespan,which is 8-years beyond the current statistical life of the mean average automobile.
