That's pretty impressive, about 3% loss at 100k miles. I wonder if the new Teslas are about the same.
My 2018 3P, at 45k miles, has a current range of about 300 miles, down from about 325. So, probably 7-8% loss. I expect/hope it will be a 200k miles battery. As I mentioned, degradation of ~20% is not really significant with 200+ mile batteries. It was nice, but a bit stressful, to be able to do 600 miles (from my place to Amarillo) on a single charge stop, which I can no longer safely do. But 200 mile legs are easily doable. To do 200 miles from one SuperCharger to another, you have likely skipped either one or two SuperCharging opportunities. Charging time with 200 mile legs on a 300 mile battery is likely less than pushing to near 300 mile legs.
I think people that have not done a cross country trip in a Tesla just do not appreciate the value of the SuperCharger network. They are well placed and reliable. And the car tells you if there is any possible problems with SuperChargers you plan to use. There are very few unpleasant and trip delaying problems with SuperChargers.
