Owner 2 has driven more than 60,000 miles and is in a slow decline, I've driven 55,000 miles and I'm in a nose dive. Personally I think this is very significant.The CAC for your battery is about 3~4% lower than the CAC of Owner 2. It's an outlier, but nothing significant.
Your picture is a definition of a VERY GOOD battery.
I'm confused by your math here. If there are 99 bricks, how can improving a single brick increase total range by more than 1%?What you really want is the analysis of the "After" snapshot and the SOCs of the various bricks. It shows #8 brick is 13.84% below average and #29 brick is 10.13% below average. So if you replace the #8 brick with an "average" brick, you get back 13.84-10.13 = 3.71% vs the average. If you replace the #29 also, the next limiting brick is #72 at 5.26% below average, so you get another 10.13-5.26= 4.87% versus average. Next limiting brick after is #45 at 4.66% below average and you start seeing diminishing returns (as you have multiple other bricks at or near 4% below average).

In the real world I now face the prospect of a car with rapidly decreasing range, no replacement parts, and a $22,000 'warranty' that doesn't help me.
Why let facts get in the way of a negative pr campaign?You did not pay $22K for a warranty for battery range. That number sounds dramatic, will likely be picked up by some *journalist* who won't check facts, but you know you didn't pay that. You've already said you knew the warranty you DID buy didn't cover degradation. So it seems a bit misleading to keep claiming that 1) you bought a warranty for that, and 2) quoting a ridiculous number that you know is not correct.
More drama with 'no replacement parts'. What part are you waiting on? There are some parts more difficult to get, but I am unaware of any Roadster not on the road because of lack of spare parts. Future problem, potentially. Current problem? No.
That's a legal interpretation of the ESA and based on my communications with Tesla I have no reason to doubt it.

Was I ignorant to trust that Tesla would delivered a 'working' product and maintain it during the warranty period?
Can you see any difference between the three cars in this graph during the first few month of ownership?

Is it enough if one somehow manages to create a single 2GB FAT32 partition on a bigger stick leaving remaining space unformated?
What was the ideal range after the charge? That's the most interesting number.I'd love to know the answer to this. I don't have any USBs less than 4GB, except I have 1 that is 1 GB that I formatted FAT32 and there's only one folder called VehicleLogs on it -- but it isn't working to upload the data. I located some worthless 256k and 512k thumb drives, but I assume they're too small. I'm sure someone out there's gone through this?
Oh yeah, and Happy Drive Electric Week everyone. I charged in Range mode last night for the first time ever (since owning the Roadster) and it only went up to est 130 mile range.

The log file is typically under 15 MB, so a drive with that much free space should work.
Note that despite what an earlier post said, the car must be OFF (and not charging) for the log download to happen.

Kevin has previously stated that parts are not available even if he offered to pay for the repair. I think that's a big part of the problem. But there's more here than just one bad brick. The whole battery is down 18%, so fixing brick 8 would still leave it degraded.The before and after SOC logs show that brick 8 clearly meets the definition of a statistical outlier, being over 6 standard deviations from the mean. Its low capacity is limiting Kevin's range to 94.8% of what it would otherwise be. If brick 8 were not the limiting factor, Kevin's maximum range would be 210 miles.
As for the question of whether Tesla should provide a remedy, clearly brick 8 suffers from a manufacturing defect that was present from day 1, and so should be replaced. That Tesla are refusing to "do the right thing" is curious, and perhaps there are genuine reasons (lack of parts) they can't immediately help. Fobbing off Kevin is pretty underhanded, though it is consistent with Tesla's like-getting-blood-from-a-stone communication policy.

Looks like your rate of decreased range has changed slope - most likely a bad brick. I had the same problem when #783 had its bottom punctured.
At first my range dropped off slightly and then towards the end it was a rapid decrease. I say keep driving it to kill the battery and then have Tesla
replace the whole thing with your ESA.

Voila - here's the "Endloesong" to this problem. Good post.
