Range anxiety decreases with ownership. Once you adapt to a 300 mile range you figure out what your daily usage is, and typically it's a small fraction of the range. After all who drives 5 hours per day on average? So it's not a big deal to let you car go a few days, even 40% is 120 miles, or 2 ish hours for most driving patterns.
Additionally charge cycles generally means full charges, so 1000 full charges = 10,000 charge of 10%. Similar rules apply to any similar battery technology, like in an apple laptop or pretty much any cell phone.
