The early Leaf batteries were junk. Obviously giving EV haters ammunition that is still stuck in their heads from 4 years ago.

Where did you ever see Tesla say anything like that? 60,000 miles is barely 250 cycles for a big Tesla battery. Those batteries will easily last 4 times that to 80% if you don't abuse them with constant high rate supercharging and everyday "ludicrous mode" 10 second drag strip runs.
