Model 3/Y 79 kWh LG (Europe, NOT China): a reliable choice
LG 79 kWh (EU) shows the lowest failure rate per field reports. A good balance of longevity and charge.
By shop and owner reports, 79 kWh LG (EU) shows a low rate of serious failures and predictable charge curves. When choosing used, this is one of the most "trouble-free" Long Range 2021+ configurations.
It's very important not to confuse this with 79 kWh LG (CN) — those batteries, per reports, are WORSE than the problematic 82 kWh Panasonic.
