The data clearly shows that for the first 50,000 miles (100,000 km), most Tesla battery packs will lose about 5% of their capacity, but after the 50,000-mile mark, the capacity levels off and it looks like it could be difficult to make a pack degrade by another 5%. The trend line currently suggests...

Interesting that it was tested at 180 KMPH (engine + one car). While the effort needs to be applauded, it sounds more of a message that it can also cross 180 just like Train 18 (and it was a big news when train 18 crossed that number with all passenger cars). Now, this option is pitched as semi-high...

They also have rotation concept for new priests who go to established temples as assistant priests and gradually build experience.
