I just got a '17 S at a great price, and one the main reasons I did was because of the great warranty on the 30kWh packs.
From what I understand, these packs aren't really degrading any less fast than the old packs, though some '17s seem to be holding up better than '16s. And since they've got a great warranty anyways... why not just try to beat the **** out of this thing and see if I can get a new battery before my 8 years is up? Or two? I L2 regularly and live in a high elevation environment, so I put a bit of stress on the thing.
Any downsides to my plan? I used to have a '13 SV that I babied, but why bother when the warranty is the way it is now?
