Tesla Battery Longevity Study Finds Model 3 and Y Near Bottom of Half‑Million EVs

A recent battery longevity study that evaluated half a million electric vehicles reported that Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y experienced the greatest range loss after nearly 100,000 miles, placing the brand near the bottom of the pack. The research measured how much usable range each vehicle lost over time, highlighting that Tesla’s battery performance degrades more than most other manufacturers in the sample. For owners, this suggests that long‑term range may be a concern, potentially affecting resale value and driving confidence. The findings point to a need for Tesla to address battery durability in future models and software updates.
