You are very correct in your points, but I would like to highlight that we push our phone and laptop batteries very hard. They are normally pushed to full charge and discharge and not properly cooled (In the case of phones they are sometimes even more of a heatsink for the cpu) and this causes them to die faster [0 for relation of use to decay] [1 for impact of thermals]. Discharging and charging your cars battery will cause wear, but I don't think It would be so fair to compare it to the degradation you see in other devices. Tesla has seen some success in getting more from its batteries by managing thermals [2] as well as limiting max and minimum charges to more healthy levels [3, we saw tesla give more capacity to units implying there is a reserve] [4, we know these cars will still drive even after there range is 'exhausted' for some time] Considering the expense of batteries for cars maybe I wouldn't do it, but It is likely not so bad if you have a car with good power and thermal management -0, https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/capacity_loss https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/capacity_loss -1,https://cleantechnica.com/2018/12/05/60-kwh-nissan-leaf-still-no-liquid-cooled-battery/ https://cleantechnica.com/2018/12/05/60-kwh-nissan-leaf-stil... -2,https://www.teslarati.com/watch-tesla-battery-thermal-management-action-supercharging/ https://www.teslarati.com/watch-tesla-battery-thermal-manage... -3,https://cleantechnica.com/2017/09/09/tesla-unlocks-extra-battery-capacity-owners-fleeing-hurricanes/ https://cleantechnica.com/2017/09/09/tesla-unlocks-extra-bat... -4, https://forums.tesla.com/forum/forums/reserve-power-when-state-charge-shows-0-miles https://forums.tesla.com/forum/forums/reserve-power-when-sta...
