there are threads on the teslamotorsclub forum.. the software upgrades are a variable that confuses capacity/range losses vs. new software behavior. There are multiple forum users with over 20k and some with over 30k miles without any significant capacity losses. Plus, location appears to not play a role into concerns for losses. Further note that swapping out the battery for a new one will be very easy with the Tesla in a short while: there will be a cost associated based on the "health" of the battery, but it's so easy.. now compare that to the LEAF
