I might add that the vast majority of people live in a..... coldish climate and dont really have to worry about the SOC% too much - the difference are just too small at <20C pack temperature.
the 1 week its 30C in europe is clearly irrelevant. And even in most of the USA it is just not THAT warm to worry about it.
Countries where the debate is worth having are probably South Africa, North/mid Australia, Southern USA, Middle/South America, South east asia.
And thats probably it.
Also interestingly, I always blamed my 16% degradation on living in tropical QLD for 3 years with the car. A buddy there has even more degradation on their car. Then I met someone in Brisbane the other day who also has an early australian car and also has exactly the same degradation. Makes me thing its all battery lottery with all closely together manufactured packs having similar degradation.
