at what point in time (or after how many miles) does the battery must be replaced? does the weather the car is driven in matter on battery life?

- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoThat's an individual judgement call. If you don't go on road trips, then even 50% degradation (representing over 500,000 miles of usage, an absolutely absurd number for someone that doesn't do road trips!) still leaves you with a usable car. I don't know how weather affects battery life. I know that very cold weather reduces charging speeds, but I don't know if it reduces the life. The battery is liquid-cooled, so temperatures are still controlled in hot climates. Generally, replacing the battery is not something any Tesla owner needs to worry about. Outside of failures that are typically discovered within the first year or 10,000 miles (and therefore covered by warranty), the battery will last FAR longer than any typical car. How many cars are driven past 300,000 miles?
