How long does a Tesla car battery last?

I have a Tesla Model 3 and I'm curious about what the battery life is like. How long will my Tesla car battery last?

Good question! You can expect a Tesla car battery to last between 300,000 to 500,000 miles or about 1,500 charge cycles under normal usage.
Like most parts of a vehicle, the battery will deplete and need to be replaced over time. The battery may still work after this use interval, but its maximum range and charge capacity will be pretty low. In the case of the Model 3, the battery pack costs around $5,000 to $7,000 to replace, depending on trim and capacity levels.
If your car is relatively new, the chances of your battery needing replacement anytime soon are low. However, if you want to make sure you’re covered for any eventuality, you may want to review your current
