Unconfirmed: Reddit owner charts of battery-failure reports, 2021–2026
Unconfirmed: a owner of a 2021 Model 3 Long Range posted four charts on Reddit showing user reports of battery failures between 2021 and 2026. The data is grouped by model year, by mileage in 10,000-mile bins and, for 2021, by model and trim. The author says he has been reading r/TeslaLounge and that most posts about these errors involve 2021 vehicles, so he decided to compile the reports. This is an informal analysis of owner posts, without official Tesla data or independent verification.
- Four charts of battery-failure reports, 2021–2026, by year, mileage and trim
- According to the author, most battery-error posts on r/TeslaLounge are 2021 models
🔎 Why it matters: No official confirmation from Tesla: the post claims that battery-failure reports on r/TeslaLounge are concentrated in 2021 model-year vehicles, based on owner-submitted data.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: The reports are self-selected from Reddit, so they do not allow calculating failure rates by model or comparing them with total vehicles sold.
