The Battery In This 2019 Model 3 Looks Heavily Degraded. But It's Not That Simple

  • Bjorn Nyland's old 2019 Model 3 now shows ~21% loss at 182,000 km (113,000 miles)—higher than expected.
  • He blames early fast-charging, but notes that the BMS may lowball capacity if it never sees a battery that is frequently full or near-empty.
  • Even with the loss, he expects around 400 km (248 miles) of summer range and half that in winter—still usable.
