House storage usage will climb as well, and well-treated EV banks still have some life left in them for that.
In the UK Tesla cars have a 4 year 50,000 mile warranty. If you have a problem after those milestones you either pay Tesla to fix the car or you are on your own (Tesla will not sell you parts nor provide information so that you can fix your car). What is happening today is that a small number of breakers are importing Tesla's from the US to order so that people can repair their cars. What's left over from these efforts are often the parts you see on the open market here.With a 5-8yr warranty on the battery, battery leases and ultra reliable motors and solid state electronics, who are the customers?
Well the big benefits of HV car batteries are size, weight and life. If half the life is used and the other two are not really as important in a static environment then the price will have to come down considerably to make a real market (which again will be relatively tiny anyway)House storage usage will climb as well, and well-treated EV banks still have some life left in them for that.
That's pretty harsh - but then like new Porsche/BMW/Merc's if you can afford the large amount of cash to buy one upfront then you are less worried about dealer service cost.In the UK Tesla cars have a 4 year 50,000 mile warranty.If you have a problem after those milestones you either pay Tesla to fix the car or you are on your own (Tesla will not sell you parts nor provide information so that you can fix your car).

That appears to have happened in Canada. Overpriced "luxury" brands depreciate steeply compared to more reasonable cars, but among the only 88 Tesla examples in the whole country currently listed by AutoTrader.ca, the price plummets for anything older than 2016. Some of these owners (with the low odometer readings) have probably spent $3 in depreciation (plus all the other operating expenses) for each kilometre driven since new. It would be cheaper to take a limo everywhere.What Tesla's policy would do in a traditional car market though is kill the used market for older cars - but in the EV market that is already being killed by the rapid advance in battery technology.
