I drive a 2016 f15 x5 40e. After 7 years i still do the same distance full electric, maybe 2-3km less but can be my driving style
Pros: consistent electric range
Cons: slight range reduction
Vehicle:
BMW X5
I have been driving a 2022 330e since March 2022 and haven’t seen any battery degradation to date. In the NY winter I still get at least 20 miles on a full charge, in the summer 23-30.
Pros: no battery degradation, consistent range
Cons: lower range in winter
Vehicle:
BMW
I set off to test the X5 battery to see if degradation was better or worse than my iPhone's 10% degradation over one year. We've driven 29,996 miles, 15,296.5 electric. My best all-electric range achieved was about 41 miles when new. After one year, I achieved exactly 41 all-electric miles from a full charge in ideal conditions. Zero percent degradation as measured by this test. It appears temperature and AC/heat use have much greater impacts on range than actual battery health at this stage. Results look better than expected for long term ownership and residual value.
Pros: zero degradation, better than expected
Cons: range affected by temperature

Mine crapped out after my last track day (103k mi). Luckily I was with a ton of like-minded folks and was able to get them to help me push start the car so I could get home.
Pros: fun experience
Cons: impossible to tap

The white tank has never been the issue for me, leaks are always in the radiator frame surrounding that tank. Somewhere at the bottom, probably where the lower hose goes. The plastic is brittle crap and it develops micro-fractures that become cracks over time.
Cons: brittle plastic, develops cracks

My Wahler thermostat starts to leak after 4 years. It's not a big leak (only a cup a month) but I'd swap it asap.
Cons: starts to leak
