The Tesla Roadster has a battery capacity of about 53 kWh, which allows it to travel approximately 244 miles on a single charge 🚗💨. This capacity is stored in a large pack containing thousands of lithium-ion cells, similar to those used in laptops, and it is designed to keep the car running efficiently by maintaining even temperatures across all cells 📊.
The Roadster’s battery performance is quite impressive, as studies have shown that it retains between 80% and 85% of its original capacity after driving 100,000 miles 🚗📈. This is better than Tesla’s initial projections, which suggested a capacity retention of about 70% after 50,000 miles 📊.
A new replacement battery pack is available for the Roadster, offering a capacity of 47 kWh, which is slightly less than the original but still provides a range of 220-240 miles 🚗🔋. This new pack is lighter and more efficient, making the car even more fun to drive 🎉.
