I have a 12 year old drill that “on a full charge” will only do about 1/4 the work it used to do before needing an overnight charge...

I think the battery management system on a Tesla is better than your 12 year old drill.

Too bad Tesla's management in general is worse than your average 12-year-old boy could produce.

I think the original batteries on the Tesla will have to be replaced long before it is 12 years old?

I hope so, but I still wonder about long-term efficacy and performance....ALL batteries break down over time and those with high outputs probably suffer more.
