But, for all we know, those 255 cars had 980k miles each and the rest had 0. Or they all had 0 miles and caught fire right off the factory line while the rest of the batteries never died.
Put more realistically, it could be that almost no cars needed a battery replacement until they hit 200k miles or 15 years old or whatever. If that were the case, it’s a pretty good number. But they didn’t provide enough data to know if that’s the case, or if all of their cars are 2 years old, lightly driven, and they’ve already had 255 failures. I could see either scenario being true.
