"The ex-taxi Tesla Model Y has only used 36 kilowatt-hours of energy from home charging, with a whopping 32,684 kWh coming from DC fast chargers and regenerative braking."
"After looking at several battery health tests, this pre-facelift Model Y's pack has a 92% state of health, meaning it can theoretically provide 92% of the driving range compared to when it was new."
"The Model 3 with 79% battery health had a nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery, whereas the Model Y with 92% health remaining has a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pack."
A Tesla Model Y, after 111,000 miles, showed a 92% state of battery health, primarily charged via DC fast chargers. In contrast, a 2019 Model 3 Performance exhibited 21% degradation with predominantly home charging. The Model Y's lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery outperformed the nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery of the Model 3, highlighting differences in battery chemistry and longevity. While fast charging is often criticized for accelerating degradation, this Model Y's performance challenges that notion, suggesting variability in battery health outcomes.
