300,000 MILE TESLA WITH ORIGINAL BATTERY | THIS IS SURPRISING

EV Channels Review

This video delves into the longevity of Tesla vehicle batteries, addressing common concerns about their lifespan and potential degradation. The reviewer highlights real-world examples, including a 2018 Long Range Model 3 with over 300,000 miles on its original battery, which had only lost 15% capacity. Data from Tesla's impact reports indicates that Model S and X vehicles tend to hold capacity better than Model 3 and Y, with the latter losing about 10% in the first 60-80,000 miles before degrading more slowly. The review debunks some myths, suggesting that frequent Supercharging might not be as detrimental as commonly believed, citing an owner who primarily used Superchargers with minimal degradation. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to a class-action lawsuit alleging inaccurate odometers, which Tesla vehemently denies. While acknowledging the potential for battery replacement costs, the video emphasizes the declining prices of battery packs and ongoing advancements in battery technology, such as dry electrode and solid-state batteries, promising even greater longevity and efficiency in the future. The overall verdict is that EVs, particularly Teslas, are proving to be highly durable, often outlasting their internal combustion engine counterparts, with 200,000 to 300,000 miles being achievable and even higher mileages on the horizon.
