How much capacity have you lost over the years?
You got your money's worth already, and it is still going strong!![]()
Is it possible for you to provide cycle count?I'm now north of 233 k mi on my original battery. still got somewhat less than 2 years on my battery warranty, maybe getting a little worried! What is the highest mileage on an original battery?

Is it possible for you to provide cycle count?
Years ago, the Tesloop ride share company got north of 300000 on one of their MS and or MX fleet.I was serious about the question. Does anybody know how many miles someone has gotten on their original battery?
In my book that is excellent!It had 39,000 miles on it when we got it, and rated range was 256. Nowadays I get about 240.

Supercharged daily to 100% for Vegas runs.
I'm getting the feeling that you are confusing charging "events" with charging "cycles". Because the number of charging cycles is basically already provided in the statement you just quoted:Is it possible for you to provide cycle count?
The miles of use can be correlated very closely to the number of cycles, because a "cycle" is defined as a full capacity discharge and refill. So this was a 2014 S85, which had originally 265 rated miles. Scaling that by about 80%, you would get something like 212 real miles on the odometer per 265 EPA rated miles on the display. So take 233,000 divided by 212 real miles per charging cycle, and that's about 1,099 charge cycles. There is some estimating in there, but that's about how you calculate it.I'm now north of 233 k mi on my original battery.

I think that may be somewhat self-limiting to around 200 to 300 thousand miles, because of a hardware/software problem. The early ones like from Tesloop, which started to get really high mileage got into some kind of state where the car's software couldn't read them properly, and would start shutting down with like 50+ miles still showing, that was real energy still left. At the time, Tesla had not figured out the software fix for those older high mileage batteries, so they were just replacing them. Those vehicles went on to get to 400, 500 thousand miles and more, but not with original batteries.Good points. But no one has answered my question. What is the highest mileage on an original battery out there. I wouldn't mind taking the record but I do want my new battery as well! (Hopefully not a rebuilt.)
