This was always "expected" by people in the know ever since the Model S came out in 2012 and there was real world data on cars with 100K+ miles. Didn't stop the oil lobby anti-EV myths from spreading far and wide. And now both political factions hate EVs so expect even more people to continue to think batteries die in a few years. EV companies wouldn't be warranting the battery degradation for hundreds of thousands of miles and several years if batteries died easily. | ||

> And now both political factions hate EVs A significant fraction of people have now actually driven them. It's going to be increasingly tough to tell spooky stories about EVs when your neighbor/friend/coworker has been driving one uneventfully for 4 years. | ||

2014 Tesla S, 80k miles, battery still getting me 230 range - not too much drop off. 99% of charges are at supercharger (which is also not supposed to be good for the battery) | ||
