    I guess I've gotten better over time;).

    Interesting how the history stops at a certain point:cool:.

    Not that it really matters(y).

    Oh! Oh! I saw 60.5km this morning on the GOM!

    It only took 5 days of gentle driving and light climate use (1-5% A/C Load Ratio)

    I guess the GOM just wanted attention;).

    I won't be so lucky out here:cool:.

    But with my average miles / kWh where it is, I'm ok(y).

    an individuals car's performance is anecdotal though. What's important is 2 things;

    1 - what kind of capacity loss are folks experiencing across the entire fleet at any given mile and or year.
    2 - what does the warranty say.

    Warranty says, "10 years" .... but it's silent on range/capacity degradation. So it's GREAT that some or many have little or no degradation - but is it acceptable if some / many w/in years 5 .... or 7 ... or year 9 have 25% capacity loss? or 50% loss? or more?

    That kind of warranty is meaningless. It's the reason Gen1 Nissan Leaf owners filed a class action, when many of their owners lost good amounts of capacity w/in the first 2 to 4 years. Some car manufacturer's traction pack warranty clearly state what their batteries will still have left (eg - 80%) after 10 years - as they all ought to do.
