Is Tesla Battery Degradation Severe?
1 Answers
Tesla's battery degradation level generally depends on the vehicle's model series and usage conditions. For example, the batteries in Model S and Model X: high-voltage battery to powertrain ratio. Warranty period: 8 years with unlimited mileage. Below is a reference case: battery data from a 5-year-old Tesla, model Model S P85, with a total mileage of 76,000 kilometers. When new, a full charge could travel 426 kilometers; after 5 years, a full charge could travel 403 kilometers, with only a 5.4% battery loss. Of course, this scenario requires extremely careful, meticulous, and attentive car maintenance, along with excellent daily driving habits.
