The average car does about 15,000 - 20,000km per year. This will give you an average life span of 7.5 years to 10 years. Of cause this depends on how often you drive it etc. Tesla currently offers 8 years warranty on their battery and unlimited km.
So you might be saying to yourself, “Sure, a Tesla can have a heavy price tag, but think about all the money I'll save on gas!” According to Nerd Wallet, when all is said and done, you can expect net savings (taking into account the electricity costs of charging your Tesla vehicle) of between $810 and $890 per year
A new study shows that Tesla's Model S is holding its value 2 times better than the average gasoline car and 3 times better than the average electric car despite the impact of EV incentives. iSeeCars released a deep dive study into the depreciation of new vehicles to find the best bargains out there.
How Much Does It Cost to Charge a Tesla at a Charging Station? If you charge at a Tesla supercharger, the cost is typically about $0.25 per KW if you purchased a Model S or Model X after January 2017. Supercharging is free for cars purchased before, January 2017.
Most electric vehicles are currently capable of about 100 miles of driving before they need to be recharged. The exception is the Tesla Model S, which can travel about 250 miles on a charge.
How far can the new Tesla Model S go on a single charge? Answer: All the way from Los Angeles to San Francisco. That's about 370 miles, 35 miles or 10 percent further than the car's previous range. The larger Model X also got a mileage upgrade, going up to 325 miles per charge.
The drive train and battery will last and last. But they depreciate pretty fast. So in terms of value for money a used Tesla is far better than a new one, especially a high mileage used Tesla. I'd go for a Tesla CPO though, since parts are expensive and therefore you want a warranty.
Here is what happens when your Tesla Model S dies or your car runs out of battery power. First of all, it's not recommended to drive your Tesla on zero mile range. It's not good to your battery. Teslas or electric cars are not like gas cars.
Tesla recommends an air conditioning service every 2 years for Model S, every 4 years for Model X and every 6 years for Model 3. Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 12,500 mi for cars in cold weather regions.
The Battery and Drive Unit in your vehicle are covered for a period of: Model S and Model X – 8 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period.
In a tweet last week Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, indicated the cost of replacing battery modules in the companies Model 3 will cost about $3000 - $7000 USD. Not a bad price considering the current batteries are designed to last 300,000 to 500,000 miles, which is the equivalent of 1,500 cycles.
“Today, we work with third-party recyclers around the world to process all scrap and end-of-life batteries to recover valuable metals. Our recycling partners work with us to ensure that non-valuable or non-recoverable materials from the batteries are disposed of responsibly.”
The Battery and Drive Unit in your vehicle are covered for a period of: Model 3 and Model Y Standard or Standard Range Plus - 8 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period.
No More Stopping For Gas
First, the biggest savings: no more expensive gas. With 100 miles using 34kWh (about 100 MPG) and electricity costing an average of $0.12/kWh, the yearly cost to drive a Tesla Model S 85D 15,000 miles is $612.Tesla recommends an air conditioning service every 2 years for Model S, every 4 years for Model X and every 6 years for Model 3. Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 12,500 mi for cars in cold weather regions.
The $47,000 long-range Model Y will come first in the fall of 2020, and it will have a range of 300 miles, Musk said. Tesla will also sell an all-wheel drive dual-motor version for $51,000 and a performance version for $60,000 — both of which will be available in fall 2020.
Either way, though, you'll be paying $1,199 a month for the $72,400 85-kWh model, or $1,051 a month for the $62,400 60-kWh one. So how does Tesla get that number down to $543, as it prices the 85-kWh plan?
There is no scheduled replacement interval. Tesla guarantees the Model three battery will have at least 80% of its original capacity at 8 years.
The 85 kWh battery pack weighs 1,200 lb (540 kg) and contains 7,104 lithium-ion battery cells in 16 modules wired in series (14 in the flat section and two stacked on the front). Each module contains 6 groups of 74 cells wired in parallel; the 6 groups are then wired in series within the module.
