So how much life is left in a battery? I assumed they are dead.


Most Teslas will still have more than 80% capacity after a decade.

Chances are the battery is available because the car was written off in an accident, rather than because the batteries are dead.


My 11 year old laptop battery still has a third of its capacity left. Car batteries are made to last a long longer than laptop batteries.
