2018 Model S battery gets warranty replacement at 416,000 miles in a testament to Tesla longevity

[Redaktion]

Today's EV batteries can go for nearly half a million miles even with faster charging, it seems, as an original Tesla Model S battery gives first error at 666,666 kilometers.

Sounds about right. We have an Ioniq 5 with 57k miles on it and last time I checked it lost 0.9% capacity.

It's age which worries people, not milleage. If a battery dies after 10 years that means a car which would otherwise have €10k or €20k value being ICE, would have the value scrapped to near zero.

What many people don't realize is that nearly zero vehicles that reach this type of mileage with no significant repairs. So a "old tech EV" like a model S getting to this type of mileage is incredible

Hi worries about age? Excuse me how much is a ten year old Ice car worth with 200k on it, flipping zero

Hi
Great article
Unfortunately my 2013 MS at 68k miles at 8years and 4 months gave in. Tesla would only replace my battery with what I think was a refurbished one which only gives me 200 miles at 90% charge.
My first battery was a 85Kwh battery which gave 235 miles at 80% charge.
I had to spend $13,500 for a car valued by Tesla at $11,000
In my opinion I should have received a battery that would match the original.
I would not recommend keeping a Tesla beyond its warranty since the customer service is rather poor once out of warranty and it gets rather expensive.

I had no choice but to change the battery since my car became a paper weight overnight with no resale capability until it was fixed.

416,000 miles on a 2018! Lot of driving!!

Still too early to buy EV. I wasted my life saving with Tesla S. Not recommend to anyone. There are a lot draw back by using EV.

Um idk what type of warranty that guy had but my 2013 Model S needed a new HV battery at only 120K miles and no, Tesla wasn't going to cover it under any warranty. The estimate I received was for slightly over $13K. Car could only be charged to a 60 mile range and would take about an hour to do so at a Supercharger. Junked it and got a Model 3.

My 2013 model S P85+ HV battery died at 100k km. No warranty and cost me $15k CAD to replace it.  9 year old car went to nothing.

I don't trust Tesla/Tesla battery either.
My brand new 2021 Model Y long range model had 330 miles at 100% charge. Battery pack went bad at 30,000 miles in first year. Tesla replaced it with 303 miles battery it is almost 9% degradation(10% degradation in 10years? Bolony!!). At 110,000 miles in third year battery went bad again. Tesla replaced it with 290 miles battery. It is over 12% degradation (another bolony).
I don't have warranty any more and just hope this battery would last to 200,000 miles.
Most of times I use Tesla wall charger, so it is not from using supercharger either.
Just bad experience!!
Don't buy Tesla!!
