Tesla batteries can be replaced or recycled, depending on the car’s model and battery pack. Tesla uses lithium-ion batteries, which offer a balance between energy density, power output, and battery life. However, batteries degrade over time, and Tesla offers an eight-year, 160,000km warranty in Australia for Model 3 and Model Y batteries and 192,000km for Model 3 Long Range, Model 3 Performance, and Model Y Long Range and Model Y Performance.

Tesla’s lithium-ion batteries are recoverable and recyclable, and they are all recycled when they reach end-of-life. To extend battery life, install Tesla’s over-the-air updates, recharge at a suitable rate, and use the Scheduled Departure feature to set a specific time for charging before driving. Driving in a more energy-efficient way can also extend battery life by ensuring less frequent recharges, such as accelerating less rapidly and using properly inflated tires.
