They bought a 5 yr old 300 mile range Tesla 6 months ago,,, it now has a 230 mile range fully charged .
Any car dealers offering a 400,000 mile warranty on the engine? No? Why? And that is ONE case - to quote you

Any EV companies offering a 150,000 warranty on batteries? OH, year, they are. I don't know if the battery warranty is transferable on Tesla's but regardless of age, they have a 100,000 to 150,000 mile warranty. Since the example you quoted was a USED car, we have no way of knowing what use it had been put to, how it had been abused or anything.

I am fairly certain if I said, I both a USED 5 year old ICE (you pick the brand) and complained about it, you would say, you get what you pay for when buying used.
