Tesla model Y refurbished battery

My MY had a BMS issue at 100K miles. It was lucky because it happened under warranty. I expected my MY will have a new battery but it was not. Even though this error happened due to system error or bad section of the original battery but Tesla did not use a new battery. They used a refurbished battery for warranty service. The original battery was 320 miles for the first charge when I bought it. But when BMS error happened it was already 265 miles. The battery was degraded from 320 miles to 265 miles in 17 months. Then after service the refurbished one shows only 250 miles. So my Long Range molds Y got only 250 miles in 17 months.
I should have bought a Camry or Prius instead of Tesla. I regret a lot.

The software update is not related to this error but anyway this error code popped up after the recent software update this afternoon.

I scheduled appointment but the possible date is 10 days later. While I am driving it keeps chime and when it reached 60 miles I came to charge but the speed is very slow and took almost 1 minute for 1 mile.

I am so sad.

This car is my business asset for ride share. It seems that I need to rent a car until it is fixed. The good thing is that the mileage is under 120K so it can be replaced with warranty but still I need to pay for rent $300-500 a week. So I have to spend more than $1000 extra because of this battery problem.

There was no problem with this car before it hit 100K miles then 1st tire pressure monitor sensors are gone so spent $300 then battery is gone.

I am really sad.
