RENTAL TESLA MODEL Y BATTERY HEALTH TEST

EV Channels Review

This video details a battery health test conducted on a 2022 Tesla Model Y Long Range Dual Motor rental from Hertz with 12,500 miles. The reviewer highlights the car's poor exterior condition, indicative of rental abuse, but focuses on the battery's resilience. Despite the harsh usage, including frequent fast charging and a deep battery health test, the car showed minimal degradation. The reviewer's own range test indicated approximately 4-5% degradation, contrasting with the car's reported 93% battery health (7% degradation). The reviewer posits that the car's internal battery health metric may account for more than just capacity loss. The video also explores Tesla's service menu, revealing advanced thermal management features. Overall, the rental Model Y, despite its mileage and rental history, performed impressively, suggesting robust battery longevity for the model.
