On average, the Tesla Model S and Model X lose 12% less range after 200,000 miles.
That number comes from a slide in the automaker’s new release Impact Report 2022, where Tesla also notes that it estimates most vehicles destined for the U.S. market will be scrapped once they reach that distance. In Europe, Tesla estimates most of its cars are scrapped at around 150,000 miles.

Tesla’s graph, which appears to relate capacity to lifetime, shows that Tesla customers don’t experience much range loss over the entire lifecycle of their vehicles. It seems that in real terms, cars are likely to go more miles out of that remaining 88% of their capacity than they did initially, thanks to software updates and the continual improvements they bring. .
In the report, Tesla also explained that age is another factor, adding that it has no data on other newer chemicals.
Previous data, from around 2017, shows that some Tesla Model cars WILL may still have more than 90% of original capacity left after 150,000 miles—and that hasn’t proven far as more data accumulates. The chart itself continues to support that.

Tesla or not, battery degradation is extreme can’t brick your EVdata support. Even for Nissan Leaf—one of the most susceptible to degradation in its earliest form, there simply weren’t enough packages to recycle and recover for larger projects. And thanks to a better cooling system, some of the previous concerns about heat and battery life are no longer so important.
California is recommended battery degradation limit As part of its latest standards, a wholesale switch to electric vehicles is required by 2035. Although cars already on the road seem to resist battery degradation fairly well, the specific regulations can help give consumers peace of mind and help ease this transition.
