53.6 kWh / 0.305kWh/mile = a total expected range of ~175 miles. So to get the quoted range of 244 miles, one would need to get 0.22kwh/mile? Where does Tesla make up these numbers? Going down a mineshaft with the wind behind you?

Firstly, thank you for your interest and taking the time to ask these questions. The car is 100 percent standard from the factory (standard Model Y wheels and tires, no additional window tint). The car is blue. HVAC is set to 72 degrees, auto, recirculate is off. (Note, my wife drove to work at...

I tried researching online for the battery specs on the SR, and best I can see is showing 60 kwh Tesla Model Y Standard Range Compared To Model Y Long Range & Other EVs I charged the car overnight to 81 percent, and when I unplugged it this morning, I turned off sentry mode and cabin protect...

Hi group. I have a SR Model Y and a LR Model Y. Today I was surprised that my battery percentage dropped so quickly. I took a look at my metrics, and noticed that I charged to 80% this morning, and now the car is at 16%. I drove 90.5 miles and used 28kwh (305 wh/mi). The wh/mi is as I would...

My wife and I are driving tomorrow from San Diego to Napa Valley. I noticed that my trip takes us over the Benicia-Martinez Bridge on the I680. I do have a California Clean Air Decal, but I do not have a fasttrak transponder or account. I've tried researching online, but cannot find an answer...

I'm at a loss here. I have two Model Y's (one long range and one short range). Neither has the tow hitch. We want the ability to transport bikes with one of the cars. A client of mine who is a former service manager at Tesla told me that installing any after market product not through Tesla can...

Hey Rick. So my post was about my LR Model Y. The SR vehicle is parked in my garage waiting for my wife to return from an out of town trip, and has only been driven 25 miles. I do understand how variables effect range (perhaps not much as you). My point is that the range that Tesla quotes is...

As I mentioned in the title, I just added a SR Model Y (for my wife) which joins my LR Model Y. I feel so lucky to have found it. Someone else had ordered it and was non-responsive when Tesla reached out for delivery and my Tesla rep was able to grab it. We took delivery just a few days ago...

This is interesting. I actually charged this weekend at the San Diego (Del Sur) Target supercharger. I wasn't sure if I would be charged or not as I don't have free supercharging, but just have the 1,000 free miles that I got with a referral code when I purchased my car. There are also non-Tesla...

I'm new to the forum. I just took delivery of my Y this past weekend. I've been dreaming of a Tesla for years, but just now joined the club! I have an iPhone XS Max. I had a case with a ring (metal disc) on the back and I knew that wouldn't work with wireless charging. I bought a new case that...
