Batteries in Tesla vehicles typically have a lifespan estimated at 8 years,

and in some cases as long as 10 years or more.

This is due to the fact that the battery cells used in Tesla vehicles are built with efficiency and lifetime in mind.

The cells' packaging and management also have an important impact in the battery's longevity.

One way that the Tesla Model 3 helps its battery last as long as possible without being overworked is using its thermal management system.

the combination of these characteristics plus Tesla's proprietary software.
