Tesla car batteries are designed to last up to 35 years on average, but this can vary depending on how frequently the car is used and how well it is maintained.

Teslas, for example, are powered by a battery that must be charged on a regular basis in order to function.

As a result, the battery's life will diminish over time, as will its charge range. The average charge range for a Tesla Model S is about 267 miles per full charge, and this may decrease over time.
