Yet another bomb when they wear out and have zero resale value because the batteries are ludicrously expensive
The battery on mine has a lifespan of 300k-500k miles
Maybe under optimal "laboratory" settings... There was a stickie the other day that crushed the green-ness of ev's. Never charge over 80% and never discharge below 20% of capacity, otherwise degradation occurs. Cold weather dramatically reduces range. Don't park it in the sun, cause the heat will damage the batteries. Also sub zero temps are bad for lithium chemistry cells longevity. "Super" charging also stresses the cells.
Basic real world range was around 120 miles round trip. Sure you could push the limit to max, but then your battery won't last 100k
I charge 100% if I know im going for a long drive. so i get 500km instead of like 420. That is really no big deal. Since there are so many superchargers, charging to 100 is useless to me. About discharging to under 20, I am not aware Teslas have that issue.
There have been people that only supercharge and they do not show any problems that people expected.
I bought a large battery AWD tesla to deal with the winter. The range loss doesn't concern me at all.
This is with the old tesla batteries. The new ones are much better and will blow people away.
