I was a bit surprised, but 80% degradation after 1,000 cycles numbers they provide as a baseline seem to be accurate: https://www.findmyelectric.com/blog/how-long-does-a-tesla-ba...

To translate that "80% after 1000 cycles" into more practical numbers: with a 300-mile-range battery, that means you'd have a 240-mile-range after driving 300,000 miles.

Very people are getting 1000 cycles

Interesting graphs here

You meant to write "very few", right?
