Do Tesla Batteries Degrade Over Time?

Tesla’s batteries do degrade over time and usually to about the tube of 10%. Mine was 235 and is now 209 miles which falls in line with around 10%.

[@brokemalone7011]

The answer is yes, they do. 10% degradation for the first year. Or for the first 45k miles. My 21 MYP holds max 275 miles. It’s rated for 303.

[@brokemalone7011]

I have 4 other friends with similar degradation rates. Between 8-10%.

[@brokemalone7011]

Also, this is with religiously proper charging etiquette.

[@JuanNicolas]

you should never charge to 100% and leave the car unused. That will degrade your battery much much quicker. Only charge to 100% when road trips and do not leave car more than hour after fully charge to stay at that state. That will kill your battery.
RTFM

Never will RTFM but thx for the message.

[@JuanNicolas]

@@NickDrivesATesla BTW. you may charge to 100% always if you car is a STD range, battery is different.

[@NickDrivesATesla]

Thx for the info. Which cars are std range?

[@JuanNicolas]

@@NickDrivesATesla You can check the battery chemistry of your Model 3 by looking at the charge settings in the app - if the options include 50% and 100%, the vehicle has an LFP pack.

Interesting...

[@NickDrivesATesla]

Really is.

[@angelositalianrestaurant1790]

Not bad...only a few miles a year tho

[@NickDrivesATesla]

Not bad at all.

[@dalececil7527]

Did you tell us how many miles on the car, or did I miss it? Relevant data.

[@NickDrivesATesla]

I never mentioned it. 50k miles in a little under 4 years.

@@NickDrivesATesla Ok, thanks. I had a dual motor long range Model 3 2018 that I recently traded for a 2022 Model Y also dual motor long range. My M3 had 44,000 miles and also had about 10% degradation. I never stressed about it, as it would always have plenty of range to cover my 140 mile daily commute with only charging to 80%. Great car!
