I gave evidence and what? Didn't prove anything.
I agree with your comments on the Leaf 12V battery and your basis for those comments.
But, with regard to long term Li ion battery degradation, i.e. Tesla vehicles, the data at this point in time
are lacking to extrapolate its longevity. We do have much more data for the Leaf batteries given LeafSpy/LeafDD,
this forum, and the age of the Leaf. And as such, battery degradation is better understood and somewhat
more predictable, which at this point in time is not the case for the Tesla battery. Hopefully, Jim (LeafSpy)
and his diagnostic tool for the Tesla will provide good data for battery analysis. It's questionable, though,
given the assumed difference in inquisitiveness between Leaf owners and Tesla owners, how much Tesla
data will be available over time. Furthermore, implicit over time in the Tesla resale values will be an indication
of Tesla's battery degradation as has been the case for the Leaf.
