2 Answers
Tesla Model 3 Standard Range has a battery capacity of 55kWh. Below are the battery lifespan and usage precautions: Battery lifespan: Generally, automotive batteries have a lifespan of 2-3 years, while the original battery in a new car can last over 3 years. Battery usage precautions: Therefore, if a battery has been in use for about two years, you should be cautious as its lifespan is nearing its end. At this point, frequent inspections should be conducted, with early detection to identify and resolve issues or replace the battery promptly. This helps avoid sudden "failure" of the battery during use, which could lead to losses. After replacing the battery, note that new batteries, including the original ones in brand-new cars, may not be fully charged (not 100%). Thus, after installing a new battery or purchasing a new car, it is advisable to run the engine for a longer period to ensure the battery is fully charged.
The Tesla Model 3 Standard Range version has a battery capacity of around 54 kWh. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it's actually quite sufficient in practice. After driving it for several months, I can get about 400 kilometers on a full charge, which is more than enough for daily commutes and weekend trips. The key thing is that driving habits make a big difference – frequent hard acceleration or using the air conditioning can drain the battery faster. For charging, I recommend using a home charger; it can fully charge overnight, and the electricity cost is quite low. Battery maintenance is also simple: avoid always charging to 100%, keeping it around 80% can extend its lifespan. This capacity is well-designed, balancing cost and efficiency, making it particularly suitable for city living.
