You don't need to argue, just get scan my tesla and test. Or the s3xy buttons. Why are people so cheap about this if they want to track their degradation so gradually?

Sooo, I guess I was right, could be a good idea to listen and think, before quoting "articles" https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-y-2024-new-range-estimates.319020/page-5#post-8016742 Here is the proof from Musk himself...

You guys need to understand that almost 90% or more if the Model 3s/Ys out there have uncalibrated BMS. Most people charge at home between 50% to 80% which screws the results. So you have to really know how the car was charged the last month or two to understand if you can trust the readings...

The EPA, once again, has a separate highway cycle. It is not 70mph, but close. It is listed separately in their PDF where they list the kWh pulled and consumption for each run. It is obviously not as comprehensive as a 70mph run from 100% to 0%. But even that would be misleading as you have...

Model 3 Highland just released with more range than its predicessor. The LR increased by 8 miles. Both Highland LR and SR batteries not made in the US and don't qualify for the 7500$. Any other arguments to pull out?! EPA has a 65mph "highway" test and lists the figures separately on each EPA...

"HAD". They removed it precisely because it will affect the EPA numbers. This is actually a point in favor of the "different" battery sizes, which I broight earlier, since the Performance Model Y actually has sport mode while the LR AWD doesn't. Yet their range dropped by exactly the same %...

That is also a very good question as the EPA testing should actually deliever lower range across the board. Also the 21" got 7 miles more! Add it to my other two questions and the picture becomes clearer. My estimate would be more capacity added (brought back capacity actually, the LR S used...

Did I say "I know" anywhere?! This is a forum, we speculate. I was pretty right when I suggested in the first post that Tesla did change something, wasn't I? For them to confirm that right away. While all the time the talking heads were screaming "EPA", "EPA", "nothing changed" and...

The above "article" is a copy paste from the old one, with a reference to the tweet I just posted yesterday, BEFORE the actual "article". So if you read the thread in its entirety, you will see that your "article" just came out after information on this thread...Or if you followed the person on...

So when it doesn't work with facts, you bring ad hominem?! What does "living" somewhere got to do with anything? And if you juuust check out my profile, you will see that I have a pretty good background on EPA and how it works, including reading the actual documents and following the capacities...

No, the EPA test the cars themselves of course. Only EPA's own tests are reflected on the sticker Tag on the websites... Crazy ideas you guys have... "EPA tests vehicles by running them through a series of driving routines, also called cycles or schedules, that specify vehicle speed for each...

People get "facts" from the source. In this case EPA. EPA for once hasn't posted any new data for the models in your "article". Your "article" is based on a "guy" on twitter, who in turn is speculating or even "misleading"( he is a very pro Tesla person if you follow the news...). Your "article"...

*Sigh*... This is because you don't understand how the EPA works. There are two types of Tests EPA does, full cycle and the two-cycle which results in 30% penalty for the company which chooses NOT to do the full cycle, because it doesn't take cold testing under consideration. Tesla is the...

No, the Tesla range numbers are 1:1 from EPA. Neither optimistic, nor realistic, it is what EPA tested and they put it on the sticker. If you live in California or in Holland you can actually get these EPA estimates 99% of the year in real world driving. I am hitting the EPA estimates 60% of the...

The 310 miles you see next to the battery is your capacity. This is just your normal degradation from a 21 model as the battery display is direct representation of kWh in miles over a specific "Tesla" formula that reverts kWh to Miles. For estimated range you have to go to "Energy" - then...
