The EPA site says 263 miles Total Range. Meaning city and hwy. It says 150 mpgE for the city and also the hwy milage. Pay attention to the E in MPGE. The site says 133 HWY mpgE. The EPA site also says one gallon of gasoline equals 33.7 kwh So, you divide 33.7 into the battery...

Curious and ignorant here. But, why can't a Tesla or other ev with so much torque, gear the darn thing so it can acturally have range worth a darn ? My 220 mile range at 75mph on interstates isn't very impressive to me. My other two cars have a range of 520 miles. As in Ft Worth to Santa Rosa...

I've a 22 Tesla S Model with the 19" wheels. I find numerous times, when driving 75 mph on Interstate 35 in Texas, that I get 30 miles for each 10% of battery. Happens at night with lights on, a/c on and during the day also. Supposedly I could go 300 miles with a charge of 100% but who wants...

Trying to find the right place to post this. I know this isn't the place, but........Online mag Inside EV's tests EV range. They charge up to 100$ then drive till the car drops, so to speak. My question is: Do they not know about battery degradation ? I'm sure they must, but I'll be darn...

I will. Own a '22 Tesla S model now and had a '20 Performance S model. Teslas are priced as luxury cars but other than that are not. Go drive a EQS 580 or just sit in one and compare it to a S model Tesla. No contest, the EQS wins in all ways. Cyber truck with a half arse steering wheel ...

I'm beyond underwhelmed by my '22 Tesla S Models 405 mile range which in real life is more like 180 to 200 miles if you comply with Teslas recommendation of not letting the batt go below 20% nor over 80% when charging. 75mph gives me approx 30 miles per ten percent of usable battery. NOBODY...

YES. Rated range. Check it out first. Supercharging degrades batteries. You have no idea how many times the previous owners used superchargers and or let the car charge up to 100 % or drop below 20%. Those cause battery degradation. Not nearly enough ev fanatics mention how superchargers...

I get thie 'phantom' braking too much. Mostly on inproved hwys like I-20 near Ranger, Texas headed west or Temple, Texas headed south. The navigation system is faulty imho. Or the people who designed it are faulty. Your choice. This Never happens on my Mercedes. I said Never.

Is the '22 Model S supposed to come with a cargo cover ? I had a 21 that did have one, but I bought that one used with 1200 miles on it. Not talking about floor mats and the like. A Cargo Cover that hides your 'stuff' when the hatch is closed.

Thanks a lot. That makes sense. I'll eat some humble pie now.

i noticed a noticable change in the range for a S modle Tesla today. Was I believe 405 miles and is now around 373 miles give or take a few miles. Anybody know why this change was made?

A resonable person would want one because it is supposed to show what equipment the car was built with. It should be shown on the Tesla Build/buy site but is not. So if you buy a Tesla S model online, your left clueless about what features the car has. Like ventilated seats in the 2021, back...

I ran across this thread today and saw mention of a Monroney Window Sticker. That sticker reminds me why I don't like buying a Tesla S online. Unless I missed it, there is no such item shown on the 'buy' page. Like I found out by accident the '21 is supposed to have accoustic laminated glass...

Sounds about right, Che. I asked a Tesla rep on the phone about the acoustic laminated glass and which glass is acoustic laminated. He had to call me back later saying it was windshield and front doors. I wonder about this a bit after I, by accident saw a Tesla video on the glass in the car...

WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING? I CAN HARDLY HEAR YOU.
