TLDR: It looks like temperature does affect displayed range. Hi. @Go4IT. Thanks for your message on the feedback tab in the spreadsheet here. I wanted to respond here because other users might find this interesting too. After your message, I have looked into the data and at first, I didn't...

Hi, @scottf200. This is @Merijn's project but I provide free technical support for a long time, therefore I should probably respond. We used to have the feature you have described on the Stats tab. It was active for a while but I noticed that some users saw that as a kind of competition and it...

Hi. At 55K miles the average remaining battery capacity for Model S/X is 94.5%. For the S85D, that would be 270*0.945= 255 miles with range mode on or 252 mi with range mode off. The following chart is based on survey data you can find here. To see mileage in miles, you can select a random...

Hi. There is no data to support the argument that supercharging more often is bad for the battery. The two charts below are from the MaxRange Tesla battery survey. The second chart with the blue dots shows remaining range versus mileage. Each dot represents an entry. Many users submit multiple...

Hi. It's too low. At 29,000 miles, the average is 95.5% of original range. If you want you can enter your data here. Then go to the charts page and select your username. This will show how your range compares to all the other entries. Take a screenshot of that so if somebody from Tesla says...

Check out the following video after 17:28. During a test drive, a Tesla employee says Tesla could cancel free supercharging once the car is not owned by the original owner anymore because there is nothing in the contract preventing them doing this. I thought that was an interesting argument. I...

Hi. One of the users in the MaxRange Survey says he doesn't see a range increase in his 90D when range mode is turned on. Could some of you confirm whether the increase in this video still happens in 2016 model Teslas? Thanks

Hi @ThosEM. 100% refers to a different number for each model. For example, for the S85 it means 269 miles rated range with range mode on. You might say, doesn't the S85 have 265 miles EPA rated range? It does but as you can see in this video when you turn range mode on, it instantly increases...

Hi. Average supercharger use is 28.2 times/year based on this survey with 268 owners.

I agree with @NOLA_Mike's rebalancing suggestion. The car doesn't exactly know how much energy the battery holds. It tries to estimate that. However, the estimates become inaccurate over time if you never fully discharge the battery or if you never fully charge the battery. You need to do both...

Hi. There is a battery survey here where you can enter your data if you want. It will show remaining percentage in column S and remaining capacity in column T. After you have entered your data, you can go to the Charts tab and select your username to see how your degradation compares to others.

Hi. The following video provides a little more background where the snake charger came from. It is based on modular micro-robotics. Start watching at 18:11. Here is a direct link to the correct moment.

@AZ Desert Driver, The Model S doesn't report what the rated range was when the car was new. These numbers are published on Tesla website, as well as the EPA website HERE. On that page, you can see that the S60D has 218 miles EPA rated range. That's the number the sheet uses in calculations...

Hi, In addition to the data provided by others, here is a chart from the MaxRange Battery Survey. You can add your data if you want and then select your username on charts page and it will show your entries in a different color like this. Let me know if you have any questions. I provide free...

@SBarnes, Like you guessed, the EPA rated range system is not used in Europe. In fact, Tesla uses EPA rated range only in North America. Outside North America, all Model S or X cars display typical range or NEDC rated range, whichever the driver selects in settings. Because NEDC rated range is...
