Tesla says that you 'almost never have to replace the battery', which is music to EV owners' ears

Tesla says that you ‘almost never have to replace the battery’ in its cars, which is music to EV owners’ ears.

The EV giant made the bold claim about the high-voltage battery quality.

It explained that even if there was an issue, the warranty meant that Tesla would need to pay for the replacement itself, rather than the owner.

And the warranty covers almost a decade.

Tesla has dominated the EV sphere for years.

From space launches to robo-taxis and even a supercharger network, the auto giant has been busy.

For example, the company has come up with a new delete kit that gets rid of the Tesla Cybertruck’s wing mirrors, but it can only happen in certain states.

Plus, Tesla also quietly added a stealthy new twist to its Autopilot system.

Now, Tesla has made a bold new statement online, and it’s all about the most important element of any EV, the battery.

“I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you almost never have to replace your Tesla’s high voltage battery,” Tesla said on X.

“And if there ever is an issue, it’s covered under warranty anyway, so not your problem.”

“Battery warranty covers at least 8 years / 100k miles,” it continued.

The battery and drive unit limit warranty ranges from vehicle to vehicle.

The Model S, X, and Cybertruck are covered for whichever measurement occurs first, eight years, 150 miles with a ‘minimum 70 percent retention of battery capacity over the warranty period’.

The Model 3 and Y Rear-Wheel Drive are covered for 100,000 miles or eight years with the same battery capacity.

Whereas the Model 3 Long Range, Long Range-Wheel-Drive, Performance, New Model Y Launch Series Long Range All-Wheel Drive, and Model Y Performance, Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, and Long Range are covered for 120,000 miles or eight years with a minimum 70 percent battery capacity over the warranty period.

The post on X garnered quite a few comments, as expected.

“Extend both if you’re so confident,” one person said in reference to the number of years and miles the warranty covered.

“Please increase this. Major worry point for old people,” said another.

“Huge reason why I pick up my third Tesla on Saturday. I functionally don’t have to worry if the car will drive until mid 2031.”

Well there you have it, Tesla’s battery is almost invincible and with advancing EV technology, the key car component is only set to improve in the coming months.
