I’ve read that Tesla batteries weigh far more than you’d expect, especially when you’re used to a 50-pound battery in a gas-powered car. Is this true? How much do Tesla car batteries weigh?

You’re right! Tesla batteries weigh a surprising amount, especially compared to the battery in an internal combustion engine vehicle. But as the main component of Tesla’s powertrain, perhaps the battery size shouldn’t come as a surprise. Either way, here’s how much Tesla batteries weigh by model:
Tesla Model 3: 1,060 pounds
Tesla Model X: 1,183 pounds
Tesla Model S: 1,200 pounds
Tesla Model Y: 1,700 pounds
While Tesla battery warranties last eight years or 100,000 to 150,000 miles, having some extra money for maintenance or even a battery replacement is never a bad idea. One place to discover savings is by using the
