Taxi Tesla Model S traveled 690 thousand kilometers! How is the battery performance?
This Tesla Model S was used intensively in daily life. So, we can say that he works as a taxi and travels almost non-stop. Of course, its exterior is a bit worn, with a few scratches and dents on it. There is also some wear on the suspension system. But the most important thing is that the original battery of this vehicle is still standing. So how come Tesla battery performance doesn’t decrease significantly?
AutoTrader company purchased this high-mileage taxi Tesla Model S and subjected it to a series of tests. The vehicle retains 76.9 percent of its battery capacity despite being charged frequently and used at high speed for a long time. This corresponds to approximately 64.9 kWh of energy and a range of 347.62 kilometers on a full charge. The factory range of the vehicle is 290 miles, that is, approximately 466 kilometers. This means that this Model S has not lost much of its performance despite the difficulties brought over the years.
Of course, third-party apps used to assess battery health may be slightly less reliable than Tesla’s own tests. Tesla’s own tests offer more detailed results and require the vehicle to remain connected for a day while fully charged. But after all, even third-party applications show how solid this battery is.
To summarize, we saw once again how durable and long-lasting battery performance the Tesla Model S has, even if it is used as a taxi. A truly impressive example for those who demand consistently high performance and durability.
