Maximum guestimated range is down to about 230 (from 265)
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.
It has 172k miles. Tesla has "refurbished" the battery once under
warranty. It has been loaned to people that have not well followed
instructions and left it at 100% for hours. A failure in charge port
resulting in it sitting totally discharged for a couple of weeks. It
has been run to depletion several times.
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!
Well... the uncertainty about range estimate at shutdown places the
lowest safe discharged condition to be about 45 miles. While "babying"
the battery now dictates max charge levels of 80 or 90 percent, barely
200 miles. Safe/useful range, about 150 miles. With no FSD, navigation
(the car is not so equipped), SuperCharging is now not free and is
limited to about 80kw. I believe Tesla limits refurbished batteries to
such low power. Compared to a more modern car, the 2013 is just not
very attractive.
