My problem ended up being a faulty 14-50 socket/outlet, my guess a loose ground? I replaced the socket/outlet and everything has been good for almost 2 years now

For me it's mostly "OCD". But there is a small part of me that also wants to keep the BMS as accurate as possible so in the long run, if/when there is a real range decrease, it will raise a red flag for me to look into instead of me writing it off as a BMS calibration issue.

I never believed my battery REALLY degraded to ~290-295mi at 100%. Before COVID, my typical daily charging habit was charge to 80% and drive to 60% each day on weekdays. During weekends, it varied, sometimes driving less than 10 miles, other times driving almost 200, though usual weekends are...

It’s in my signature but it’s a 2018 LR RWD, got it Dec. 2018, just over 20k miles on it. edit: sorry, forgot, mobile can’t see signature.

I went ahead and tried this even though I barely drive nowadays. I think since this last post of mine in July, I only charged my car to 90% 4 times, each time I let it run down to at least 30% before charging. I purposely tried to drive a little more often these past few months and it still...

I’m tempted to try this, but the way I’m driving nowadays, it will probably take me 2 or 3 weeks to run the battery from 90% to 40%. When I used to commute before the pandemic, it would have only taken 2 or 3 days.

I have the exact same observations with my Oct 2018 LR RWD and my driving habits are exactly like yours (prior to shelter in place), about 60mi a day and I charged to 80% daily. Prior to the range drop last August/September 2019, my 100% range was 322mi. I haven't charged to 100% since, but...

Code requires large electric appliances to be on a dedicated circuit, meaning you cannot share multiple outlets in it. So it will be violating code if you add another outlet. That said, physics is physics, and if the total draw on the circuit at any given time is less than 40amps, it will...

For me it's not even a small diminished battery capacity I worry about, it's more about when/where do I draw the line between "eh, just some battery management errors" and "oh man, I really should start worrying about out of the ordinary battery degradation." But in everyday driving, my M3 with...

I wanted to chime in an say in my limited 2 week experiment, I've been seeing similar results as you. Ever since August of 2019, my estimated range dropped suddenly from [email protected]% to [email protected]% ([email protected]% to [email protected]%) . I didn't think much about it since my daily round trip commute is only...

IDEALLY, driving 40km will only be about 10% of the battery, so she SHOULD have 80% left. But obviously, driving an EV isn't ideal in cold weather, so lets bump that down to 70%, i.e. double the expected energy needed to drive 40km. 70% of the SR+ battery is about 37.8kWh. Divide that by 13...

The adaptor dictates the max charging rate. The mobile connector tells the car the max amperage/power based on which adaptor is being used.

Is yours a LR RWD? My LR RWD was manufactured in 11/18 and have almost exactly the same numbers for range as you do.

I have no idea if what I'm about to tell you is your case, but I had something similar happen to me. It turned out that the 14-50 outlet I was plugging my mobile connector into has some connection issues. My mobile connector would usually work and either stop randomly before reaching my set...

First, an extension is not officially recommended (or allowed) by Tesla and code. That said, I regularly use a 10ft 14-50 extension cord because I was too lazy to route the 14-50 outlet to a wall closer to where I park. Also, I feel the risk of a well built extension cord, aside from a...
