Everything the other posters have said is true. My wife and I love the car. We fight over who gets to drive it daily (and she never wanted to buy it in the first place). I have had minor issues such as loud panoroof noise at highway speeds, auto-popping door handles, constricting seatbelts, breezy window seals, wiper fluid jets aimed too low...and ALL were fixed by Tesla as warranty. My original 21" Conti tires lasted over 30k miles. The only real issue that I've had (other than be limited to 90kH at superchargers) was a very unbalanced battery when the car passed over 30k.

My 100% rated range actually dropped as low as 231 miles. But after keeping my car continuously fully charged, I am getting closer to my previous 263 rated miles. So I am pretty confident that I have not had any battery degradation.

Wow- that's fantastic! I got all excited when I recovered a paltry 4 rated miles, but you recovered 27 miles! Tesla really needs to add some sort of battery rebalancing protocol to the 12,500 service interval. I'm sure they could come up with something that will do the most good with the least potential harm to the battery. Perhaps draining the battery really low with a current taper when the battery is almost depleted and then range charging it while telling the thermal management system to keep the battery as cool as possible. Or whatever the people who do this sort of thing for a living have figured out.
