    Appreciate the updates, I'm planning on coming through on Saturday.

    Should Tesla do something about my degradation?

    Valid points. As stated earlier in the thread I made some mistakes when buying the car. My whole purchase experience was a disaster worthy of it's own thread :) But I do want to also mention again that I went to Tesla with $5k in hand to try and broker a resolution. It's not like I was screaming...

    Should Tesla do something about my degradation?

    I don't mind saying my budget was $35k. I was a Model 3 reservation holder for a long time but the base variant was not coming anytime soon....and I really wanted an S but didn't think I could afford one until I found this car. I had 10% degradation in my head as the worst case scenario going...

    Should Tesla do something about my degradation?

    I will be the first to admit I should have done more research before I purchased. It was my first Tesla and I was tired of waiting for my model 3 that I had a reservation for and I jumped on this car when I found it. Instead of relying on information from local Tesla owners regarding...

    81k. I expected some degradation but this is pretty ridiculous.

    Should Tesla do something about my degradation?

    Correct, no warranty on degradation. 8 year 125,000 mile warranty on failure only.

    Should Tesla do something about my degradation?

    Thank you. I was prepared for 10% degradation but 15% out of the gate and 23% now is just crazy. I charge in my garage on a 110 outlet, usually to 80-90%. It very rarely gets to a low state. I rarely supercharge, as there are no superchargers in my area yet. Interestingly, my car had never been...

    Should Tesla do something about my degradation?

    Wow. That's a shame. Yes, I think in their effort to distance themselves from the "dealership model" they have really turned some people off with their cold and obtuse stance towards service after the sale.

    Should Tesla do something about my degradation?

    I hear what you are saying Mike and you have a valid point but most businesses will do quite a lot to accommodate or at least try to accommodate an unhappy customer. I didn't go to them crying and screaming when I realized I had 23% degradation, I asked them to work with me to find a mutually...

    Should Tesla do something about my degradation?

    I own a 2013 Models S 60 (EPA rated range 208) purchased in September of 2018. After taking delivery I charged to 100% and the rated range was 177 miles. I brought this to Tesla's attention immediately and the response was "it's normal". Now, a year and a half later it gets 160 rated miles to a...

    Battery defects

    I have a 2013 Model S 60. EPA rated range new was 208 miles. I bought it in September of 2018 and it got 177 rated miles at 100%. It now gets 160 rated miles on a 100% charge. Tesla does not warranty degradation on 2013 vehicles and refuses to help. I know own a very expensive grocery getter.
