Known issues

High
NHTSA 25V-690 (October 2025) covers about 13,000 cars, 5,038 of them Model 3s from model year 2025 built March to August 2025. The battery pack contactors may fail and cause a loss of drive power. Tesla Service replaces the contactors free of charge. The 2024-2025 Model Y is not in this recall.
Low
Tesla publishes no capacity for this pack. It declared 354 or 355 volts and between 223 and 235 Ah to EPA, depending on model and year, and in its certification tests the 2024-2025 Long Range and Performance cars discharged between 78.6 and 80.4 kWh from full to empty.
Low
Tesla's warranty covers the Long Range and Performance battery for 8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first, with at least 70% retention of battery capacity. Standard Range cars are covered for 100,000 miles.
Low
The displayed range can fall without a matching loss of battery capacity. Tesla's warranty calls range estimates "an imperfect measure of Battery capacity because they are affected by additional factors separate from Battery capacity."

How this pack ages (industry context)

Industry fleet aggregates: 2.3% average annual capacity loss across 22,700 EVs / 21 models (Geotab, 2026), and 95% range retention at 5 years on average across 30,000+ vehicles (Recurrent, 2026).

OEM warranty floor on this pack: 8 yr / 120k mi to 70% capacity.

Public per-pack degradation curves are not available for most models. Individual results vary materially with climate, charging behavior, and DC fast-charge frequency.
