What is the Tesla Model X’s battery degradation rate?

I recently bought a Tesla Model X and would like to know roughly how long the battery will last before it starts to become inefficient. What is the Tesla Model X’s battery degradation rate?

While the rate of battery degradation depends on a number of factors, the Tesla Model X’s battery degradation rate is generally accepted to be a loss of 10% to 15% charge capacity within the first eight years or 150,000 to 200,000 miles.
Essentially, this means you can expect a 1.25% - 1.87% drop in battery capacity each year, which is actually considered to be quite low when compared to all other electric vehicles.
What’s not low is the cost to insure a Tesla, or any electric vehicle for that matter—unless you use
