External links are OK right? Anyways, this suggests that the way they test batteries isn’t indicative of real life driving which extends battery life even more.

As in they normally would just put a load on and run it down and then charge it back up and run that cycle versus driving uses a little bit here charges a little bit back there back-and-forth.

I think a lot of these first gen non-Tesla products have been specifically over-engineered.

I fully expect my aluminum body to rust before the batteries degrade.
