No not really any different other than a few isolated instances but all battery versions have had those. We have a couple 90’s that have virtually no degradation compared to my sons 75. His isn’t bad as it’s inline with normal 75 losses.Superior degradation?
Yeah that is the beauty of the 90’s, not sure about them being any slower sellers, the battery misinformation has lowered the price making them the best deal on modern Teslas! Average CPO price on the refresh Model S90D’s "non performance" cars is $70,949, while the average refresh S75D is $60,592, for only $10,000 more you can get an S90D, significantly more range and power. On top of that lots of the 75’s were bought on a budget with fewer options where most 90’s are more well equipped. True it’s a personal choice but more range and power is nice to have and very hard to ignore at current prices.
The numbers didn’t change, 2015’s P90D’s still used the EPA numbers from the P85D’s because they never updated EPA ratings until they did the refresh cars. Early 2016 P90D’s with the old nose still carried the old 2015 P85D EPA numbers. 253 was P85D’s and old nose P90D’s and 270 was EPA updated P90D’s. Battery degrading was very isolated only on early version 90 batteries and changing EPA numbers wouldn’t stop a battery that was going to fail, either it did fail and was warranted or it didn’t. Even if one failed in the future it’s still 8 year unlimited warranties
The S90D is 257-258 at 90 percent with 20,000 miles, that’s nearly 100 percent supercharger use. X P90D is now 219-220 at 90 percent similar miles. We live near a supercharging station and are firm believers in the ability of the superchargers and the battery cooling and management system to maintain the life of the battery but we usually only charge to 80%. I regularly see and have talked to another local guy at the supercharger that is a salesman with about 60,000 miles and counting on his daily driver ‘16 X90D who has almost always supercharged to 90% every night to 227-228 miles. Tesla has said that continuous supercharging isn’t good for the battery life but some say longer slow charging isn’t as good because the cooling system is not running. I have read about really high mile 90 battery taxis that have always been fast charged with really good battery percentages.
