Tesla car batteries are designed to last for a significant number of miles, but your driving style,

climate, and weather can all affect their durability. For example, if you drive a Tesla like a performance car or don't charge it regularly,

it can deplete its battery life faster than if you use it like an electronic device.

The most recent new Tesla battery can travel over 260 miles on a single charge.

This range is sufficient to cover the average weekly driving distance for most people, which is approximately 30 miles.
