>The cells also surpassed 1,000 cycles while retaining 93% of their capacity 1000 is a short count i wonder if the capacity drops off suddenly after about 1000

  Not really for cars at least. That's right up there with NCA and NMC chemistries and those seem to do just fine for 200k miles. LFP can do 3000+ cycles with the trade offs being lower energy and power density. Which is why it's usually relegated to models with lower range and power, or vehicles that have the capacity for larger packs like buses.

  1000 cycles is a pretty standard milestone for battery specs. Over 80% capacity at 1000 cycles is the quality standard Apple sets for example.

  I charge my ~100 mile range EV about twice a week, so 1000 cycles would last me 10 years, and then I'd still have 93% of the original range - that 7% drop could be hidden by the battery management system so I wouldn't see any drop in range.
