In this video I break down real-world battery degradation, range loss, charging costs, maintenance, depreciation and whether I would still recommend buying a Tesla Model 3 in 2026. If you’re considering a used Tesla Model 3 Long Range, wondering about battery health after 5 years, or trying to decide whether an EV is worth it in the UK, this video should help.
