Battery Degradation appears to be a problem for the Model 3

Exactly. I’m at 8% (26 miles) of implied loss now when I extrapolate rated range/percentage and have just over 1000 miles. Similar experience to @gzerninplatz. My wife’s S lost a few miles but nothing anywhere close to this and is now pretty solid after over a year and 10k miles.

My S is almost 5 years old and has 178k miles. It's now at 10% loss. 8% after 1000 miles is not OK. I don't have a Model 3 myself so I'm not up to date on this topic. I just read through this discussion here and I'm a little surprised how quickly the 3 drops range. I really hope this isn't a trend. Tesla would be in serious trouble if they had to fix/replace thousands of batteries under warranty within the first years.
