The car has been regularly DC fast charged to 100%, but the degradation level is minimal.
The Tesla Model 3 with an LFP battery pack is still perfectly usable after 110,000 miles. That's what one owner says about his car. Despite constantly DC fast charging it to 100%, the battery has minimal degradation. Some of the biggest advantages of lithium iron phosphate batteries, compared to nickel manganese cobalt cells, are lower production costs and minimal degradation over time, even if fully charged on a regular basis.
However, the drivetrain is original and the car has never needed any repairs–just new tires and washer fluid, according to the owner. The car’s battery originally had a usable capacity of 57.5 kWh. Now, after doing some quick maths where the total driving range of the car was taken into account after a full charge and a long trip, the theoretical battery degradation is quite impressive, at just 5%.
