Tesloop, a former shuttle service company in California, was one of the first to run a 2016 Model X 90D past 300,000 miles back in 2018. That electric SUV mostly relied on DC fast charging, which can degrade batteries quicker, and yet the company reported just 12.6 percent battery degradation with most of that occurring in the first nine months of service.

Here's what I posted:

And, don't just point to one or several Tesla drivers. Surveys are best when a large group is questioned, and the vehicles themselves have been observed to perform as you indicated.
You didn't respond with a suitable answer. You posted what one user claimed, and perhaps not even that claim can be verified, since, who was there besides a Tesla lover who likes Tesla and/or EVs?

I've known a few Tesa drivers who say they're never gonna buy another Tesla once theirs 'dies'. I've met a bunch of other EV (not Tesla) owners who all say they will never own another EV. I've also been to several car dealers who have inventories of new and used EVs, and they say they can't unload them, especially the used ones. I have a Lexus (2 years old, gas driven) and considered trading it in for this year's EV version, but after investigating what I would be getting for the price (much higher than the ICE version), it was a huge no-no for me.
