I purchased a brand new S75 RWD, pre-uncork in May 2017. I researched battery degradation before buying and after my researched expected to see 5-7% degradation by 50,000 miles in a worse case scenario. I knew some folks saw 0% degradation, and it was worse for others.
I'm currently close to 10% degradation at around 28,000 miles. I almost never charge to 100%, I Supercharge to 80/90% maybe 4-6x per year. The degradation is to the point that I had to make an additional charging stop on a road trip due to loss of range, and I likely would have bought the 100D if I thought it would be this bad.
I'm also seeing some weird symptoms:

I'm also seeing some weird symptoms:
- On the rare occasions I fully charge, it can take up to an hour for charging to complete the last mile of charge.
- If my battery is low (less than 20%) and I set it to charge to 90%, it will always overshoot the mileage to 96-97% full (218 miles or so) but if I charge with a SOC>20%, a 90% daily charge will charge to 203miles
- I've opened multiple tickets with the service center and they said they would run battery diagnostics but they never call back and give me a generic answer when I finally speak with someone.
- I've been losing about 1 mile of charge capacity every 1,000 miles over the last 5k in miles so it's been getting worse at a more rapid rate.
- Let the battery run down to just 1-2 miles and then fully charge (I know this hurts the battery so I only tried this once as some of posted this can help reset the meter)
- I stopped using the Chargepoint at the offfice and only charged at home with my Tesla charger for some time, but I'm still losing range
- I tried waiting one hour after parking to charge as someone at service center said this would let the battery balance out
- I tried 80% daily charge for some time vs 90% charge, but didn't see any decrease in degradation rate.
- I tried one supercharging session to 100%. This seemed to help a little, but it took over an hour for the last mile of charge so I haven't tried again
