Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Range Loss After Nearly 100,000 Miles: What a New Study Reveals

A recent large-scale battery study involving around half a million electric vehicles has put Tesla’s long-term range retention under the microscope. The research focused on how much range the Model 3 and Model Y lose after covering close to 100,000 miles. According to the findings, Tesla landed near the bottom of the rankings, suggesting that its battery degradation over high mileage is more pronounced than many rivals. The study’s scope, spanning hundreds of thousands of EVs, adds weight to the results, though exact figures for Tesla’s range loss were not detailed in the summary. For current and prospective owners, the takeaway is that real-world battery health can vary significantly across brands, and Tesla’s high-mileage performance appears to be a weak point in this particular analysis.
