One of the most important issues, IMHO, is that Tesla never disclosed to me at the time of purchase, or anywhere in its marketing materials, that performance and charging speed will reduce over time. I understood that range would drop because batteries lose capacity over time, but I did not think that my performance or supercharging speed would be noticeably impacted. Those who are technically minded and who understand how batteries work probably knew and understood this, but I am not one of those people.
Today, Tesla offers some of those disclaimers. It did not to me and many tens of thousands of owners, even though it knew full well that performance and charging speed would drop over time. Above 80% SOC my car won't go above 75A on my 80A wall charger. It used to maintain 80A until 90% until an update in the last two weeks. I believe 2020.8.1.1 brought this significantly reduced AC charging speed to my 2013 P85.
