A few months back Elon Musk anounced that they had a technology that would allow a battery to last 1,000,000 miles. A study was released of that technology that shows that indeed, they have a battery technology that will only lose 10% of its capacity in 1,000,000 miles. That is quite amazing. The interesting thing is that they published sufficient details to allow others to apply the technologies to their own battery production. This has generated some speculation Tesla already has something even better.
1,000,000 miles on a battery does a couple of things.
1) it provides a market for used batteries. It they last nearly forever, just put them in another car if he first one dies
2) it means fewer batteries need to be produced because replacements are not as likely to be needed.
3) better for the environment - less used up batteries to dispose of.
