Known problems

What 2025 Model Y owners run into

Problems reported for this model year, with the mileage they tend to show up at. Buying past a window is not automatically a pass - it just needs to be priced in.

High-voltage battery pack degradation or failure

high severity

100,000-200,000 mi · $11,000-$16,500 to fix

Reduced total driving range or failure to hold a charge. Average degradation is 15% after 200,000 miles, but outlier pack failures out-of-warranty command steep replacements.
