1. There isn't any actual problem with degradation in Tesla's battery. Tesla is being very conservative in how they approach charging--this is probably too conservative for some and probably doesn't cover edge cases such as the 45 kW CHAdeMO charger mentioned above.OK, I'm confused. I've been driving a 2012 Chevy Volt while I wait for my 3. I bought it used, and I've had it two years. In that time, I plug in all the time, and I charge and discharge fully almost every single day. I haven't noticed any problems with degradation. Is the Volt's battery that much different than a fully electric car battery?
2. I'm pretty sure the Volt hides a bit so that it looks full for longer because all LiIon batteries degrade over time, it goes with the chemistry.
3. At 108K miles and over five years, it appears that there has been less than 4% degradation. (I live in one of the hotter states and the car is parked outside.) That's pretty much as good as it's possible to get.
4. The 2015 Leaf battery (this is the one improved for heat) that Denise drives has lost over 17% of it's initial capacity. ASAP, the Leaf goes to Model 3.
