I recently traded in my 3 year old 55,000 mile Model Y long range for a new one out of concern for the degradation in range. When I bought it new it was rated for a 320 mile range. When I traded it in, I could really not drive a whole lot more than 180 miles…. The 100% charge posted 280 miles on the screen, but the power actually used progressively drew that down to maybe 200 miles making my “usable” range approximately 180 miles. I charges at home to 80% only most of the time, taking long trips 3 to 4 times a year that required supercharging (also usually to 80%, sometimes 90%).
I do not believe the battery pack will fail whomever bought the car used, but I think the new owner will be disappointed with the range degradation,
Incidentally, the new car, driven in the same style, allows approximately 250 mile legs ( given 80% charging and some reserve upon reaching the next supercharger),
