Although I'd appreciate a newer V3 battery I can support Tesla's decision not to replace these batteries but make them last as long as possible instead. A lot of of precious earth minerals were spent on crafting these batteries and we should put them to good use. I'm treating my battery normally and I hope I don't have to replace it. I intend to keep the car for a couple of years past its warranty. Hopefully it'll be more affordable to replace the pack by then so I can enjoy the car for a long time.

I could also support that if it didn't mean a software change that results in 50% longer supercharging sessions.
 
I’m curious, do you use A better route planner and link it to your car? I’m really curious what ABRP says your degradation is, since I have very similar statistics to yours

I used it couple of times but to be honest I had no clue that I could link my car until now.
Now I just did and checked, it shows 5% degradation which is bullpoop.
See below:


Yeah, that makes it %79.53 capacity, which would be 20.5% loss so far.
90 being 86, and giving me 69 usable, lets say it keeps 4-5 in hidden for safety. So its actually 73-74 usable.

The loaner model 3 performance I have is supposed to be either 75 or 82, I didnt check the battery label. But the same method of calculation shows 79.1kwh usable capacity at 33000kms in the odometer. Add 4-5 for safety buffer, that makes it 83.1-84.1kwh.
More than 82kwh either way. Or dont they have any safety buffer for model 3? Either way, ABRP is bullpooping me with 5% degradation estimation.
 
Checked mine, 2016 March Model S P90D, has a v2 battery. 69kwh usable capacity at 100.000 kms on the odometer.
Asked SeC in the Netherlands if I can upgrade to v3 IF my battery fails within the warranty, they said I will get exactly the same part number if it fails within the warranty period.
