The big issue is that Model 3 and Model Y only have 73%ish of the range when brand new, and then after 3 years that drops down to ~64%ish of its advertised range.

They claim 340 miles on a model 3, which in real life testing goes as low as 190 miles. If you now subtract another 60% it looks really bleak in the worst case scenario
Well the 60% would be from the 340 miles, no? Another ~10% from the 190
I think 190 was on a reasonably new battery. If so, the worst case would be 19 * 6 = 114 for the low end and 32 * 6 = 192 on the high end.
Either way, it’s kind of ouch.
Yeah it’s saying the actual range has degraded from 240 miles new down to 215 miles (assuming 340 miles EPA rating). That’s a loss of about 10% total from when it was new.
