Tesla Model 3 Battery FAQ

How long does the Tesla Model 3 battery last?

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.

How much does it cost to replace a Tesla Model 3 battery?

Replacement cost depends on pack size and whether a full pack or individual modules are needed. See our EV battery replacement cost guide.

Is a used Tesla Model 3 a good buy?

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.

How do I check my Tesla Model 3 battery health?
