Well, I'd like to point to my actual experience with my Tesla Roadster, but I don't have one :-) I did show an example of lithium battery degradation in a laptop, in about the lightest possible duty cycle.
And I do have about 195K miles on that Insight battery, in pretty heavy use. I live in the mountains and climbs of 2000-4000 vertical feet at 6% grade or better are a frequent experience.
