How long will the vehicle last?

How long will the battery last?

When hiring a Tesla, you wont have any issues relating to the longevity of your vehicle as you will only have it in your possession for 2 - 5 years

Tesla construction for most models are made from Aluminium which has a very long life expectancy.

Driving and atmospheric conditions will play a part in how long the body will last.

The expected life span of a Tesla car battery is between 300,000 and 500,000 miles, dependant on usage and model.

Tesla are the pioneer of car battery technology and we would expect this life span to increase over time

Tesla don't make a traditional SUV as such, however they do offer AWD variant for all models

The definition of an SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) is:

" a road-going passenger car which takes features from off-road vehicles, such as raised ground clearance and four-wheel drive"

The Tesla Model X and Model Y are designed as utility vehicle's, with the Model Y being a small version of the Model X

Autopilot is an advanced safety and convenience system that enhances the driver experience behind the wheel. When used properly, Autopilot reduces the overall workload as a driver. Each new Tesla vehicle is equipped with eight external cameras and powerful vision processing to provide an additional layer of safety.

Each new Tesla vehicle comes complete with the hardware to enable Autopilot, however this has to be chosen as an factory option.

Autopilot includes:

Traffic Aware Cruise Control - matches the speed of the car with that of the surrounding traffic

Autosteer - assists with steering in clearly marked white lines
