Many potential Tesla owners are concerned about battery longevity and replacement costs. While battery degradation is a natural process, Tesla batteries are designed to last for many years, potentially hundreds of thousands of miles. This article will address common concerns about Tesla battery life and provide tips to extend the range and lifespan of your Tesla battery.

"I am thinking about buying a new Tesla but I am concerned about the battery that it's only good for 10 years and then would have to buy another one for $10,000-20,000 depending on the model. Is this a true statement or do Tesla batteries actually last longer?" This question was asked today in the Tesla group on Facebook, generating a healthy discussion.

Indeed, How Many Years Will a Tesla Battery Last?

In April 2023 Tesla revealed its battery degradation, which showed that Tesla batteries last longer than you think. According to published data, Tesla vehicles experience an unbelievably low battery degradation of only 12% over their entire lifespan. This means that you can drive your Tesla for years without worrying about having to replace the battery or contributing to negative environmental impacts caused by battery disposal.

Tesla's own data from February 2023 show that Model S and Model X batteries retain about 90 percent of their original capacity on average over 200,000 miles of use.

Torque News Tesla reporter Jeremy Johnson notes that Tesla has a warranty on the battery at 8 years or 30% degradation. Most Tesla vehicles don't degrade that 30%, but for those that do, Tesla replaces the battery with no charge.
