If you do the math on that cycle count, you'll see its several times the warrantied amount. 1500 charges at 80% for a standard range M3 is over 300k miles. I think they probably picked that value to align with norms of other warranties rather than reflect any kind of real risk. They released some charts as part of their impact report showing 12% degradation at 200k miles, which lines up pretty well w/ the 1500 charges. [1] Most people drive about 10k miles/year, which would maybe be 50 cycles/year, and obviously the batter is unlikely to last 30 years.
