Tesla is dropping manufacture of 2170 cells to concentrate on 4680s in their newer EVs. Tesla is not in the habit of retro-engineering older products ... they want to sell their latest hotness.

My thinking is another 6 years and 150,000 miles, I will be 81. The 2019 Model 3 at 12 years will be well beyond its expected life. I suspect that advances will give us better opportunities for an independent life
