I've taken a few 6-7 year old Teslas on trade and only 120 km in lost range is optimistically generous.

Maybe a 6 year old Tesla that lived its life in San Diego with an owner that followed every single charging protocol to a T. But Joe Blow driving the thing all winter in Calgary and topping it up to 100% every night? I'd bet that car lost 25-30%. A lot of people don't understand the chemistry of those batteries and why overcharging degrades them.
