Those are the 19" Gemini wheels without the aero covers, he doesn't like the covers so he removed them. Also, red calipers are only brake caliper covers he bought off of Amazon . He plans to put a body kit on it...I tried to talk him out of it as nicely as I could. As you can see, he's already done some damage

Oh, so they're black now. That's what was throwing me off.
Service menu and it has 59k. He charges at home. Not sure how often.
dropped 12% capacity in 59k mi.? must charge every night i'm guessing (probably unnecessarily). not surprised you found an outlier to look as bad as possible, lol.
this analysis though shows 6% loss typical in 200k mi.

12 percent at only 59k is definitely an outlier, even if he supercharged daily. Tesla encourages daily charging, Level 2 wouldn't put that stress on the battery. The only explanation is he charges to 100 percent daily, leaves the car near 0 percent for long periods in freezing weather, or he just has a battery pack with bad cells. Even charging at 100 percent, Tesla has factored in that there are people who would do that, like my daughter who charges her Bolt to 100 percent
i've only charged my ioniq 5 to 100% 3 or 4 times i think.
if i have a day with a lot of driving i might charge to 100%. otherwise it's 80% about every third day.

Carmakers have factored in there will be people who regardless charge to 100 percent, for example someone who leases and knows they will be returning the car in 2 or 3 years. My daughter is an example, she charges her Bolt about once a week and no matter how many times I've told her to set to 80 percent, she just won't. Engineering Explained did a video on this

Leave it to Bit to try to turn everything I say about EVs into something negative. 😒

He charges daily at home to 75%.
Bit can be dramatic at times 😅
I would advise your friend to have this checked with Tesla. The good news is if the battery pack has a defect or drops to 75 percent before the warranty period (8 years or 120k miles) he will get a brand new battery pack. My friend who has a 2018 M3 LR has lost 6 percent, my boss who has a 2017 Model X has 85 percent capacity at over 100k

Yeah he’s going over everything before his 60k mile ends as he has a rattle in his passenger seat that’s getting addressed. He mentioned if it dips to 70% he’s eligible for a new battery. He said being at 87% he’s close to normal for initial degradation and it should plateau here.

No. He bought it at beginning of year
Sorry, I meant 70 percent. It is true that the first couple of years there is a dramatic dip, it should stabilize, but 12 percent? He needs to keep on them

sure... different users. even if i'm 'renting' a car though i still want to take care of it as best i can, and maybe i'll want to buy it out at the end of the lease.
this ioniq 5 (as you know) is a great vehicle. but like we also all know, ev's are evolving FAST so when it comes time, i may go for something available then.
. I think mine are light colored
