I used to own rc cars with the same batteries, it's the same thing, vape batteries. Tesla batteries are not different from the average vape. Besides if you really wanted to save environment you'd buy an e-bike, not a 5000lb aluminum car. Pressure the city to stop with the gay ass shit, and walmart wiht eh terrible parking lot designs. God it's like we have no experts.

Lithium ion batteries aren't all the same. Charge cycles, for instance, vary widely.

For cars they can fairly cheap out because 3000 charge cycles over 150 to 200 mile range is 450 to 600 thousand miles.

Why not just get a normal bike? Powered by legs. Crazy idea? Batteries create a tremendous amount of toxic waste.
