You "lost" 10 miles after how many miles driven?
And "loosing" miles could be temperature in Jersey around this time of year, BMS uncalibrated, doesn't have to be real degradation.
But even if real degradation, that is around 3%, this is totally normal(unless you drove only 5000 miles in a year). You can easily expect 7-9% over the course of a couple of hundred thousand miles. That will still be around 280 miles left which is plenty for most people. Didn't you guys research that degredation based on prior S and X?
Besides that, if you drive so little, why are you range anxious? You can plug anytime you want and if you take a longer trip you basically have to stop each 260 miles for a 25 minute break which most people do anyways.
As for Maxwell, I doubt it. The current technology will be around for at least the next 3-5 years. The only way Tesla can achieve more range is to increase motor efficiency and lower the body weight(which they could do, but that would be 5-10% max) or put more kWh If possible at lower weight, but that isn't happening any time soon - it will also mean a couple of thousand more $ for let's say 50-70 more miles.
I think they might go the more expensive/more kWh route, but I doubt this will happen any time soon, because they have a production line that works and Y coming up. I don't think we will see any drastic change in kWh until 2023 or whereabouts.
8000 after a software update a few months ago. My wife's 4 year old model S with 55k miles by comparison has lost only 4 miles. I realize the mileage loss may not be true degredation, but the slope of the line I can see on the Stats app is concerning. We researched degredation and I read many threads about the S & X prior to buying the 3, but was under the impression the new battery cells, advanced BMS, and good charging habits would not show such a trend in the first year.
