Based on 84 data points from the 85-kWh version of the Model S and six from 60-kWh cars, the study concludes that the Model S will retain about 94 percent of its capacity after 50,000 miles, with losses thereafter shrinking to about 1 percent per 30,000 miles.
That means that after 100,000 miles, the typical Model S is projected to retain about 92 percent of its battery capacity and range.

I’m only interested in tesla. The other car companies don’t make electric cars thats worth attention

True, and the same applies to the i3 and the Chevy Volt.
What’s the recharge time?
About 5 seconds for you to plug in when you get home and 5 seconds to unplug in the morning. =)
For long distance, you can get about 80% in 40 minutes at a SuperCharger.
My experience with a hybrid is that cold weather is a HUGE problem. I get close to 50 MPH in the spring and fall... and less than 30 on a day like today.
With temperatures expected to top out in the -teens next week. I’ll stick with a car that actually starts in that kind of weather and actually produces heat.
Only if you're first in line, and only if you have enough juice to get to the SuperCharger.
Electric cars don't have a problem with starting in cold weather. You are thinking of ICE cars.
That’s actually pretty impressive... and I’m not easily impressed.
Each SuperCharger has around 4 to 8 charging stalls: http://insideevs.com/break-charging-points-98-tesla-superchargers-us/
I wasn’t talking to you. Don’t waste your employer’s money responding to me.
How is the cabin heated? In gasoline engines heat is a by product.
My heating bill is big and I just got a new furnace recently, its been cold here.
As the brocuhre says “from $135,700 plus delivery”
I’m more interested in knowing what happens to range on a blustery cold or blistering hot day when the heating and cooling systems are needed to operate at max capacity. Maybe there’s provision to capture and use waste heat from the batteries, with some sort of heat exchange mechanism using the same for cooling. But I’m honestly not sure if operation at anything much outside of 72° F with the windows down is factored into their claims.
I think you mean MPG.
Otherwise stay off the interstate, LOL
I guess in reality I wasn't really talking to you either, just to the people you are trying to mislead.
Again, who is my employer? Tesla, GM, Nissan, ... aliens? I have trouble keeping track.
That was on Top Gear last night.
