How many miles do you have on the odometer? I seem to recall predictions that Tesla batteries would last around 200,000mi, but I may be thinking of another EV. I remember reading of EV manufacturers whose battery warranties don't provide coverage until the battery is down to 60-70% of the nominal range. So if you're down to 230mi, that's 87% of original capacity - not bad for 10+ years! If you deduct 30mi, for the 28mi remaining that you mention being stranded at, you still have a 200mi range, and a remaining capacity of 76%. Again, not too shabby at that battery age. A 200mi range EV still sounds pretty useful to me, though I agree that it's maybe not ideal for long trips if you have an alternative.
