Your comment that ev's loose 30% over 5 years is incorrect.
What was being quoted is what Tesla says in their warranty, ie. the battery will charge to at least 70% of its original charge up to 1xx,xxx miles (depending on model).

Like any warranty, Tesla is being conservative. If they didn't then they would face lawsuits as soon as one failed to perform.

I have not seen ONE post in numerous threads here and everywhere that a Tesla owner said they were dissatisfied with their car on any front (other than some build and fit issues in early models). Instead it is people that don't own them, saying how terrible they are.
