After 87,000 Miles, This 2022 Tesla Model Y Didn’t Just Lose Range. It Charges Slower Too

  • ADAC, the biggest German automobile association, measured a Tesla Model Y’s battery health after 87,000 miles.
  • Its peak charging power fell from 257 kW to barely above 200 kW.
  • In 30 minutes, it now adds 13% less energy than when it was new.
