The regenerative braking is great, it basically reduces 90% of the wear on the disc brake system. One must drive an electric car to truly understand this comment. The battery capacity has dropped from its original 85 KwH down to 81 KwH, a 4.7% reduction over 8.5 years & 148K miles. The car I got was a one owner corporate vehicle and had high mileage (146K).
I was sure I wanted the large 85KwH battery vehicle with its idealized 265 mile range. I researched the overall reliability/performance history and decided it was time to buy. When the price dropped into the mid $30,000 I went looking for one. I bought the Chevy Volt as a compromise and owned it four years (25,000 miles) while I kept watch on the prices of used Model S. I have always wanted a Model S, but price ($90,000+) new made it unattainable.
12V battery terminal got disconnected disabling the entire car.
