Can you upgrade the battery on a Tesla?
I’m looking into buying a new Tesla as a way to save on rising gas costs—and I’m curious—can you upgrade the battery on a Tesla?

We don’t blame you for wanting to avoid the gas station these days! Yes, you can upgrade the batteries on all
Tesla
models, from the Model 3 to Model Y, through a software update for increased range. Otherwise, you’ll have to buy a new battery if the software update doesn’t provide enough power for you. Since you haven’t purchased your eclectic vehicle just yet, we’d suggest opting for Tesla’s highest performance and longest range model—the
Model S
. Starting at $104,990, this quiet speed demon boasts up to 405 miles of electric range and can go from zero to 60 mph in a ridiculous 3.1 seconds. If the electric range is your top priority, this is the Tesla for you. View full answer
