Tesla electric cars

The longest-range Tesla EV on sale is the Tesla Model S AWD, with an estimated 590 km of real-world driving. Every Tesla model page shows the full variant-by-variant range breakdown.

The most affordable Tesla EV with a current price in our database is the Tesla Model 3 RWD, from €36,990 (VAT included, NL market). Local pricing differs between Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.

The quickest-charging Tesla model is the Tesla Model 3 RWD: an estimated 23 minutes from 10–80% at a powerful DC charger, sustaining about 110 kW. Slower models in the range take longer — each model page lists times at 50, 150 and 350 kW chargers.

Tesla has 4 electric model lines in the PlugSphere database, 4 of them currently on sale. Counts update as new models launch and old ones are discontinued.

Like other modern EVs, Tesla packs are built to outlast the industry-standard warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km to at least 70% capacity — fleet telemetry puts average degradation near 1.8–2% a year, so around 80% typically remains after a decade. Tesla's lineup in our database uses NCM and LFP and NCA chemistry — its LFP packs tolerate the most charge cycles.

Out of warranty, budget roughly €100–180 per kWh plus labour: Tesla's packs span 60–95 kWh in our database, which works out to approximately €6,000–€17,100 for a full pack. Inside the 8-year battery warranty a defective pack is replaced free, and partial module repairs are often far cheaper.

For Tesla models with LFP batteries — 2 in our database — yes: LFP chemistry handles daily 100% charging well and it keeps the range estimate calibrated. For the NCM/NCA models, 80% is the kinder daily target. Each model page states which chemistry the car uses.

There is no independent brand-by-brand failure index, but the fundamentals are measurable: Tesla covers its packs with the industry-standard 8-year warranty, and EV batteries across all brands show low failure rates with gradual, predictable capacity loss rather than sudden death. Tesla uses proven NCM and LFP and NCA chemistry across its range. Check each model page for its exact chemistry and battery size.
