those early 85 packs, ('B' Series and later) were just overbuilt monsters
Our 2013 Model S 85 charges to 97%+ original capacity after almost 5 years and 100,000 km. This is the "A" pack, the original, and it's working great. Only downside is 90kW maximum charge speed, but it's a difference of a couple minutes on a typical charge on a roadtrip, so no biggie. Wouldn't trade our battery pack for any other at the moment, it's proven.
