Ferrari Mailing List: Re: [NFC] Four-wheeled brick

[BRITT ROTHMAN (britt2asa]

It’s interesting to read as I am very familiar with the cell used in the upgraded packs… I believe they are Samsung cells. Ultimately these cells are a chemical reaction and there are of course variances ( sometime large variances) between batches… I guess the buyer of those car is assuming it’s worth buying the car and factoring fitting a new battery pack eventually…

Earlier this year I saw a P1 here in Stockholm which needed a new battery. The original manufacturer went out of business 5 years ago, the custom made replacement was in excess of 400k with installation…. ( it it’s was a lot of installation work…..)… get use to it, batteries do wear out, it’s a chemical reaction, not mechanical amd fast charging and high temps can greatly wear a battery…..

Tesla Roadster Batteries Are Failing, Revealing End Of Life Symptoms Original battery packs can go 15 years, but younger upgraded packs are failing early. insideevs.com

So someone would spend up to $60K for something that could be essentially useless?
