I see your point. A 30% drop in capacity in an 80-mile range car is worse than a 30% drop in one that started with 280 miles.

But these are worst-case scenarios. Hopefully the batteries will last much longer than what they're warrantied for.

And with any luck, affordable aftermarket battery replacements will be common enough by the time the battery needs replacing (and may give a lot more range, too).
