False

"A 2015 Model S with over 265,000 miles on the original battery (85% capacity remaining)"

My EV is also over ten years old and has no noticeable battery degradation. I'm sure there is some degradation that could be measured, but in daily driving, I have the same range I did the day I bought the car.

That's 25000 miles per year, which is high. So the opposite of false.

The comment above is (I would guess) about the eleven years of original battery usage rather than the mileage.

The implication being that runs counter to the claim of "calendar age degradation".

So according to you, the more you degrade the battery, the longer it lasts?

Usually you would think that 25000 miles per year over 11 years would degrade the battery faster than the car just sitting around for 11 years.
