Daily supercharging kills Model 3 battery in 120,000 miles

Their Model 3 is a newer and nicer vehicle than their other vehicle - a 2008 Nissan Rogue. They've got it now and they're going to make use of it. At their age I doubt they want to go on many more long road trips although we took the opportunity to go on one at Tesla's dime with a loaner. It was kind of fun though. Sometimes the Superchargers were where Tesla drivers could chat. We came across a Tesla employee who was providing a test drive about 120 miles from his base.

I've seen plenty of out of state license plates in Teslas and seen many who were obviously on long road trips. So there are enough people willing to do it.
There a people willing to do it for sure, I don't know any personally. What I have noticed is they're liked a lot more in CA than NY. Around here the dealers still don't want to take them on trades. Go figure.
 
I'm a complete tyro in the matter of things EV. Still it seems to me that this business about standard or supercharging a battery is humorously akin to the 'thick or thin' perpetual conundrum here.
