About Tesla Battery Health

This calculator helps Tesla owners monitor their battery condition by comparing current range to original EPA specifications. Tesla batteries are designed for longevity, typically retaining over 80% capacity after 200,000 miles. Regular monitoring helps you understand your vehicle's performance and plan for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Tesla battery last?

Tesla batteries are designed to last 300,000-500,000 miles. Most retain over 80% capacity after 200,000 miles. Tesla warranties guarantee at least 70% capacity retention for 8 years or 100,000-150,000 miles depending on the model.

Is this battery health estimate accurate?

This provides a good estimate based on EPA range ratings, but actual battery health can vary based on charging habits, climate, driving patterns, and other factors. For precise diagnostics, consult Tesla service or use professional diagnostic tools.

What affects Tesla battery degradation?

Key factors include temperature extremes, frequent fast charging, charging to 100% regularly, letting battery drop to very low levels, high mileage, and aggressive driving. Tesla's battery management system helps minimize degradation automatically.

Should I be worried if my battery health is below 90%?

Not necessarily. Battery degradation is normal and expected. Most Tesla batteries show 5-10% degradation in the first few years, then stabilize. Only be concerned if degradation is rapid or below warranty thresholds (70% within 8 years).

Can Tesla battery health be improved?

While you can't reverse degradation, you can slow it down with proper charging habits: charge to 80% daily, avoid frequent Supercharging, don't let battery sit at very low or high charge levels, and keep the car in moderate temperatures when possible.
