How long does a Tesla battery last if not driven?
Tesla car batteries are said to be designed to last 300,000-500,000 miles (as purported by Tesla CEO Elon Musk), or about 21-35 years, based on the average amount of miles driven by Americans in one year, which is typically around 14,263….Tesla’s battery warranty.

| Model X | 8 years or 150k miles |
Can I park my Tesla for a week?
If you are just leaving for 3–6 weeks, no worries, just don’t use the Tesla App to check the battery status every day, as that takes the car out of hibernation and uses more energy, but we are still talking about extremely small amounts. I left my Tesla at the airport, outside, during winter for close to 4 weeks.
Why shouldn’t I Charge my Tesla battery to 100\%?
Elon Musk explains why you shouldn’t charge your Tesla battery to 100\% > Tech > Transportation Electric car batteries should not, generally, be charged to 100\%. Long-term, this reduces the battery’s longevity, and Tesla cars actually charge up to 90\% by default.
How far can a Tesla Model 3 go on full charge?
Her Model 3 is the Standard Range Plus variety, which has 240 miles of range at full battery capacity, but this drops to about 216 miles at the default 90\% charge setting. Musk’s answer is that she should still charge to 90\% or 95\%, to reap the full benefit of regenerative braking.
How effective is regenerative braking on Tesla’s battery?
Its effectiveness varies by a number of factors, but there are reports of it extending a Tesla’s range by as much as 30\%. So charging the battery to 95\% might actually be almost as good, range-wise, as charging to 100\%. To know exactly how close the numbers get, one would have to know when, exactly, regenerative braking kicks in.
How do I Stop my Tesla from constantly talking to me?
Uncheck always connected. If you use something like TeslaFI then change your Tesla account password or revoke access so that it can’t access your car (it will constantly talk to it, keeping it awake and wasting energy). Does this really work?
