Hi Everyone
Thanks to everyone who commented on my previous posts:
I drive on my Camry 90 miles every day. I am expecting to drive 23-26K miles every year. I put my deposit down last week but still confused as to what to pick and I have listed two configurations below which are almost the same price:
Please ignore price differences:
Originally built on Design Studio:
a) Loaded 60kWh: 60 kWh battery pack, White paint, Black leather seats, 19 Cyclone wheels, Michelin upgrade, Parking sensors, Pano roof, Smart Air suspension, Tech package, Supercharging enabled, Twin chargers, Sub zero weather package and yacht floor... Total vehicle price is $90K
Thinking of change to
b) Basic 85kWh: 85 kWh battery pack, Silver paint, Black leather seats, 19 wheels ( not cyclone), Michelin upgrade, Parking sensors, Body roof, Coil suspension, Tech package, Supercharging enabled, Single charger, yacht floor.. Total vehicle price is $88K
Questions:
1. I read lot of comments about degradation in the forum. I believe it is normal to expect 20% degradation over 4-5 years of usage right? In my case it is going to be earlier than 5 years due to my driving range?
2. Is it o.k to buy 60kWh and wait for cheaper battery packs in the future to swap or to go for 85kWh option?
3. Given my usage is it better to go 85kWh since it has unlimited miles warranty? What does that unlimited miles cover ? Bumper to bumper ? Normal degradation of battery is however not covered so what is the use?
Please comment
Thanks
