Many electric cars will still have more than 80% of their initial capacity after 200,000 miles.

Intriguing, but I'd prefer a data set spanning a few more vehicles and brands. Is this 80% result still true for, say, the Nissan Leaf or the Hyundai Ioniq? Ooh, how about the F-150 Lightning? Does heavier truck hauling have an effect on that metric?
EDIT: They did. The charts were just further down, past the Tesla specific one.
They mentioned the Leaf in the article, but the Ioniq hasn't even been around for five years yet, so I'm doubtful there's much good data about their longevity yet (beyond the basic "well, no news is good news so far").
The early Leafs had problems with battery durability, which is addressed in later models.
I believe the battery longevity thing is true of pretty much everything else.
