Battery Recycling
Tesla's battery packs are designed to outlast the car. Vehicles get scrapped after roughly 130,000 to 200,000 miles of usage, depending on the region. Based on our fleet data, battery degradation of Tesla vehicles which have achieved this type of mileage was only ~ 10%. Most batteries that Tesla recycles today are pre-consumer, coming to us through R&D and quality control. None of our scrapped lithium-ion batteries go to landfilling, and 100% are recycled.
