Does anyone know how to view the battery degradation on our Cupra Borns?

I have the Tronity app which says the battery is 45 kWh, and the variant is the 110 kW - 55 kWh version.

Does this mean my battery has lost 10 kWh from the original capacity?

I have the Tronity app and I don't see anywhere where it says the capacity of the battery. Either way, no app can just tell you the degradation or the current real capacity. The only way is to do a test drive over a known distance and then see how many kW you can charge to get back to the percentage you started with, and then do the maths do figure out the current capacity.

No, it means that you have a 55kWh battery but only 45kWh is useable, in the same way that those of us who have a "58kWh" battery, actually have a 62kWh battery, but can only use 58kWh, the rest is head space, not sure why the 45kWh version got such a big head space rather than VAG making it 50kWh usable and 5kWh head space.
