li-ion batteries lose ~9% of their max charge every year. a 3 year old tesla driven normally will have lost 27% of it's maximum charge in 36 months, translating into range, that takes the car from a 250 mile range car to a 180 mile range car.
you can translate that into cost also, the bat pack is ~$12k in the USA, so factor in $100/month for batteries over a 10 year cycle.
