How Long Does a Tesla Battery Last?
2 Answers
Tesla batteries typically last about eight years or approximately 200,000 kilometers. Here is some related information: 1. Tesla: Tesla is an American electric vehicle and energy company that manufactures and sells electric cars, solar panels, and energy storage devices. Headquartered in Palo Alto, it was founded on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. The founders named the company Tesla Motors in honor of physicist Nikola Tesla. 2. Car Battery: The battery is an essential part of a car and can be divided into traditional lead-acid batteries and maintenance-free batteries. Since the battery uses lead-calcium alloy for the grid frame, it produces less water decomposition during charging and has lower water evaporation. Additionally, the sealed structure of the casing minimizes the release of sulfuric acid gas. Compared to traditional batteries, it has advantages such as not requiring any liquid addition, easy connection to terminals, and long power storage duration.
I've been driving a Tesla Model 3 for five years, and the battery condition has remained quite stable. When I first bought it, I was worried about how long it would last, but Tesla offers an eight-year or 120,000-mile warranty, which gave me confidence. I make it a habit to charge up to 80% daily, avoiding deep discharges and frequent use of Superchargers. In winter when temperatures drop, the battery range decreases slightly, but the impact is minimal. On average, I estimate the battery can last over 10 years, and some older cars have run 150,000 miles without issues. Even after degradation, when capacity drops to around 70%, it's still usable for daily needs. Don’t worry about short-term performance—long-term maintenance is simple, just check the health reports in the app. EVs save money and hassle, and minor range degradation doesn’t affect the joy of commuting. I plan to keep driving it; battery replacement costs may be high, but saving up in advance makes it worthwhile overall.
