I posted this in another thread but decided to start a new one instead.
Just took a trip with my family in our X90D to go on a cruise and I can say I'm more than a little unhappy with the amount of kilowatt-hours I was able to get from my battery with a full charge. We barely made it to the supercharger. Girlfriend was in a panic the last 50 miles thinking it we were going to be stranded on the side of the road with our 2 year old.
71kwh total. That's ridiculously low. Even from the expected 82kwh, that's a 12% reduction in capacity. If that's the norm, how is that acceptable? And at what point is battery degradation beyond expectations?
And this is coming from a guy who likes to keep their car longer than a couple years. If this was an ICE car I would easily be able to get 300 to 400 thousand miles on it because I took good care of it. But this leads me to believe that no matter what I do, this car will end up being undrivable for me before I hit 200k.
