Today’s Tesla Model 3 life expectancy is anywhere from 300,000 to 500,000 miles, at least that’s according to Elon Musk. If you were to drive your Model 3 15,000 miles a year, that’s up to 20 years of service, saving you regular service trips and lowering your total cost of ownership.

Although there isn’t much data about Model 3, we know it’s designed to have a lifespan of 300,000 to 500,000 miles, or 1500 charges, which is higher than the two previous models. Now, this is again considering the yearly industrial average of 13,500 miles per year, which can lead to a 20-40 year lifespan under ideal circumstances.

Currently, the Model 3 battery modules have a minimum life span of 1,500 charge cycles, which translates into approximately 300,000+ miles (standard range/standard range, plus option) and, up to 500,000 miles (long-range variants), so basically they last forever.
