Things I personally hate, and my wife agrees with me, in my Tesla Y.
* The internals are plastic and too plain.
* Crazy noisy on freeway
* The camera at the back is garbage
* Only stupid display in the middle. You need to have chameleon eyes
* The mirrors are very small
* The blind spot feature was developed by idiots. No sensor on the mirror and no sound when the blinker is on and car is near.
* The Tesla info system doesn't support Android or Apple phones. You will be with 20 years old design Tesla operating system.
* The glass roof is very bad. Doesn't protect you from scorching sun. At least the roof cover is available on Amazon.
* And camera instead of parking sensors was a huge mistake. Again looks looks idiots were creating parking camera algorithms
* The car is heavy and suspension system is not comfortable.
Ok, what I like is a size and how fast I can accelerate.
Since you asked. The extrapolation seems to put it at about 12%, so a far cry from the 200 mile loss that was mentioned by the poster.

The hatchback acts like a funnel all of the rain to your trunk. So don't open the hatchback when it rains. The window/door/camera randomly malfunctions when it rains as well.
These guys will tell you no maintenance cost. But they left out that it is very heavy; you will need a new set of tires almost every year (~$1000-$1500) if you drive about 10K miles a year.
And, depending on the electrical in your garage, you will need on average, about $3K to install the home charger.
And lastly, this shit guy sells you a ~$50K (somewhat semi-luxury) without a garage door opener!!!!! #$%#&^&$%$%#$#

Estimates about 5,000$ in repair costs. Now obviously some will have 1$ and some will have 10,000$.... but thats the average. Hondas are highly reliable though, and it seems the video had the biggest impact with a subaru which may be less reliable in comparison.
You'd also have the fuel costs though, so that difference would probably be smaller. But hard to beat a honda in reliability against any car.
The data seems to show that it does plateau at about 12% or less:

This one has only 7% in 7 years.... degradation.
Which on a 300 mile pack (cutting 30 off for inflated numbers) is about 31 miles.

#1 Safety is off the hook (frontal crash with Van, van driver died, model 3 driver walked out since no front engine. search you tube. or that depressed doctor who drove his family flying then rolling down a cliff in the model Y smashed to oblivion but everyone's got minor injury)
#2 Sporty drive and so fast. changing lane, merging into freeway, or just speed up at yellow light, makes it a lot safer and faster to get around in general. you have to own it to really know what I mean.
#3 save on gas and no hassle going to the pump, plug in at home like your phone
#4 Autopilot! relaxed driving on freeway. priceless for commuting.
#5 1 pedal driving! no need to brake at red light. also huge screen for backup/left/right camera. see everything!
#6 low maintenance, just the tires. oh, and no more keys or having to lock doors! or remotely venting/heating/cooling/defrost.
the cons are: rough ride, noisy, tire wear, and low battery if you go longer distance than 3 hours. all I can think of.
Had to drive a gas car in Hawaii on our vacation and I hated it so much. no more gas car for us. at these prices, Y/3 is a no brainer to me if you need a new car.
