The average Tesla car batteries are made to last up to 35 years, but that can change depending on how often the car is used and how well it is maintained.

Cars like Teslas are powered by a battery that needs to be charged regularly to keep it going.

As such, the life of the battery will deplete over time and its charge range will go down.

For a Tesla Model S, the average charge range is about 267 miles per full charge and this could decrease over time.
