Real-world State of Health (SoH) for the Tesla Model 3, based on 35 aggregated data points across 2019–2026 model years. On average the Model 3 loses about 2% per year — here's what that means for range, resale, and when (if ever) you'd need a replacement.
State of Health vs. mileage, from real Model 3 data. The curve flattens after the initial break-in drop — the steepest losses happen early, then degradation slows.
| Mileage | Typical SoH | Status | Est. range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50,000 km | 94.9% | Excellent | — |
| 100,000 km | 92.5% | Excellent | — |
| 150,000 km | 89.6% | Good | — |
| 200,000 km | 87.5% | Good | — |

Gentle Level 2 home charging generates far less heat than DC fast charging — the single biggest driver of degradation. See our best home EV chargers for 2026 to slow wear and save on every charge.
Based on aggregated real-world data, the Tesla Model 3 loses roughly 2% of its capacity per year. At 100,000 km it typically retains about 92.5% State of Health, and it is covered by a 8-year / 160,000 km battery warranty down to 70% capacity. Most Model 3 batteries are expected to outlast the rest of the car.
Replacement cost depends on pack size and whether a full pack or individual modules are needed. See our EV battery replacement cost guide.
A used Tesla Model 3 can be an excellent value as long as the battery is healthy. Always check the State of Health before buying — at 89% (typical at higher mileage) the car still delivers strong daily range. Run a free VoltChek estimate and confirm with an OBD2 scanner before you commit.
