I took a test drive in a Tesla and got really hooked. Today, an EV friend told me that batteries have a calendar life, and even if you don't use them much, they generally reach their limit in about ten years. Since the Model Y hasn't been out for many years, no one can really answer this. Do any of you with Model S, especially the older ones, have any issues with battery usage?

For a 2018 Model S 100D with 80,000-90,000 kilometers, the remaining battery range can be significantly different compared to a 2022 Model 3 or Model Y with a 78 kWh battery. The older Model S may experience some battery degradation over time, affecting its range. When considering a used car, it's understandable to be concerned about the battery's performance and capacity.
Politely asking: I really like the Ghost. If I buy an eight-year-old one for personal use, how many more years can it last? (What's the maximum mileage and lifespan for a Ghost?)
Y has dropped in price again. I'm planning to switch to a Tesla by the end of the year. I'm really torn between getting the YP or a used 2019 Model X with modified suspension. I've only driven the YP and haven't tried the X. Can any fellow car enthusiasts offer some honest advice? My budget is 45.

5The battery life for a Territory PHEV (领界铂领) typically varies, but having to replace it twice in three and a half years seems unusual. It's worth checking if there are any underlying issues affecting the battery's longevity or if the specific usage patterns might be impacting its lifespan.
6Considering getting a V60. Which one is more hassle-free, the older T5 or the newer B5? T5 has oil consumption issues and B5 has battery drainage problems. How should I choose?
7How do you guys get insurance for the Patrol 4.0? I'm thinking about getting one and driving a few thousand kilometers a year. The insurance for the Patrol seems really expensive. Do you all get comprehensive coverage? Any advice from the pros? 😁😁
8Can I still consider getting a 3.6 from 2017 to 2023 after a few years? I really like this model but I'm not a fan of the new Cherokee design. Plus, there aren't many 3.6 models from 2017 onwards available in the market. Our family car still has about five to six years before it retires. I'm worried about buying it only to face major repairs. Can I still consider getting one with higher mileage by then?
9Is the manufacturer really out of business since no one is answering the phone?
10For those who have picked up the new 25 BYD Seal EV, how many keys did you get? The salesperson told me that the new model now only comes with one mechanical key.
