Well I can't say I've lost any bars yet... just turned 30K on my 2013 picked up 3/15/2013. I thought it would have happened already....not that I'm complaining
In Minnesota? I'd have been mighty surprised if you lost a bar in just a year and a half that far north.
Note mileage. I drive a 73M RT 5x week (probably not more than 25miles on an average for a whole weekend) and charge 2x daily to at least 80% in weather above 20F. Ideal climate but I'm probably on the high end of charging frequency.. not sure how that factors in to the equation.
Last winter most of my drives home were on 100% charging. Car parked in city ramp and temps were brutal...we had a MANY sub-zero days. Battery obviously tolerates that rather than the extreme heat.
Next question... is battery loss fairly linear? Is there accelerated loss ????
[EDIT]
Forgot to add my 73M RT is 95% 55-60mph...slightly slower during the winter.
