This article discusses the life expectancy of a Tesla battery in addition to the factors that can either decrease or lengthen that life expectancy.

Although the batteries in Tesla vehicles are designed to last for a significant number of kilometres,

the actual lifespan of the batteries can be affected by factors such as the driver's behaviour, the location of the vehicle, and the climate.

If you drive a Tesla like a sports car or don't charge it very often, for example,

the battery life can drain much more quickly than it would in an electronic device of the same type.

More than 260 miles may be driven on a single charge when utilising the most recent Tesla battery.
