    rim rash guards: Uberturbine rims

    I know your post is over a month old, but I just came across it. I found these and ordered it. I have not received them yet. https://abstractocean.com/products/rimsavers?variant=40806688161965

    12v battery life

    I own the Performance w/ the 21" turbine wheels. The glass roof definitely makes it heat up quickly. I have not tinted any of the windows. but I'm convinced there's something up with my vehicle's battery and it's not a widespread issue. While additional tinting may help with keeping it...

    12v battery life

    So the 12v battery was replaced, free of charge. I asked if they could replace my air filters while they had it. (tried making an appt weeks ago for it, but was told filters out-of-stock) They did so free of charge as a courtesy. So they did right by me. Everything seems fine. My battery...

    Model Y LR Range Reduced?

    Let me know what Tesla says. I had them look at mine and was told the vehicle is working within Tesla's accepted parameters.

    12v battery life

    Looks like Tesla is replacing the battery free of charge, but I won't get the vehicle back for a few more days.

    12v battery life

    Underbody lights? Were the lights hooked up to the 12v battery and did Tesla replace the 12v battery free of charge? 6 mos seems to be a short life span for any car battery. My Y was towed to the Tesla service center. I'll see what they say tomorrow. I hoping they won't charge me, but not...

    12v battery life

    Went out to dinner and when I returned to my Y, I could not open either door on the left hand side. Right side doors worked. Hopped over the passenger seat and the vehicle would not turn on. Computer screen black. Did the 2 button reset 3x before it responded. Warning signs popped up telling me...

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    Made the switch to %. Yes, I've been on a few long trips and the battery's range falls short, especially when the AC is on. I get about 70% of the indicated range. If it shows 220 miles, I'll get about 170. My 12v battery just went dead. Had to have the vehicle towed. Maybe Tesla will...

    Model Y LR Range Reduced?

    Stevo 75, I have a "Performance" Model Y and have a similar issue. I have 13k miles after 19 mo of ownership. Originally I had 244 miles of range when the battery was set to 80%, which gave me around 306 on a full charge- which was fine. Now, 13k miles later, I get only 220 miles at 80% or 275...

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    What did Tesla say? Do you own the "Performance" edition or "long-range"? If you own the Performance, I found that you need to have the vehicle in "chill" mode. Even in chill mode, battery range is far short.

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    Good suggestion, unfortunately I'm not close to anyone that owns any model Tesla. I'm going to use the vehicle as little as possible and wait and see what the service center says next week.

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    drx10, Thanks for the help. My appt w/ the Tesla service center can't come quick enough for me. I'm stressing out about it. A +$50k vehicle should not be giving me stress. I should be enjoying it Right now I feel my Y is a POS and I got ripped off and Tesla doesn't seem to care much...

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    I don't really like how the vehicle drives when on standard regen, but will do it if it helps with the range. I just did a 13 mile trip w/ regen on standard and no change to the efficiency. Battery consumption is still too excessive even for driving with regen on low. I don't think I should...

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    Uncle Paul, I would be ecstatic if I were averaging 300 Wh/mi. (My avg is 379 according to Tesla). I can't enjoy the ride when I'm charging up after only 130 actual miles when I should be getting at least 225 at a minimum. I don't lose much mileage when the car sits in the garage overnight...

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    Here's a snapshot of my last 13 miles drive using the 15 mile range energy graph. Trip was 6.5 miles one way (13 round trip) with abot 3.5 of it on a highway never exceeding 60 mph. A/C set to 72 with fan speed on 5 Regen on standard All other functions such as sentry and overheat turned off...

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    drx10, Heading out to runs errands in about an hour. Going to set the regen from low to standard to see how much it helps even though I dislike how the vehicle drives with it set to standard. Getting better mileage out of the battery is more important to me at this point. I think there's...

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    Charging ends usually at 256 or 254. From what I notice, 1 -2mi falls off almost immediately though.

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    Thanks, for that, but I don't drive aggressively. Usually have kids in tow.

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    Regen set to low. Going to try and use standard mode for this to see if it helps. I do not have the Summon feature, or at least don't see that on the Control screen. I did not opt of the $8k Full Self Driving Capabilities, which I think includes the Summon feature. Thanks, --MJK8

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    MorrisonHiker, I have 21’’ Überturbine Wheels, which, from my understanding, may account for some of the poor range, but not to the level I'm experiencing. I will check to see if the Summon Standby Mode is enabled. My issue though is not losing range while parked, I'll get in with the range...

    Model Y excessive battery drain

    I have been tracking my odometer mileage vs. what the range on the battery gauge displays for the past 2 full charges. I have set the battery to stop charging at 80% as recommended. This gives me 256mi based on the battery gauge.. I traveled 99mi based on the odometer reading, yet the battery...

    Battery drain is faster than expected or is this normal?

    As i mentioned in my reply, I was not aware that Tesla recommended charging every day/night. Even doing so would not change the poor range I'm getting. Traveling 10 miles and losing ~19 miles on the battery, then charging to full does not solve my issue of getting only ~52% of the battery's...

    Battery drain is faster than expected or is this normal?

    While many short trips may consume lots of energy, I still feel my range is well below where it should be. I'm only getting 130 -135 miles on a full charge. Several short trips should not consume ~50% of the battery's energy/range. I never knew Tesla recommended charging every day and feel it...

    Gwgan, Thanks for the tip on monitoring my consumption using the trip card. Will do this starting tomorrow. --MJK8

    Battery drain is faster than expected or is this normal?

    My 99 miles was in several short tips over the course of the week. I don't travel more than 20mi round trip and on roads w/ speed limits at 25-45 mph. There are times where Im on the highway for only a few miles doing 60-65mph. Battery drain is worse on the highway miles. I'm getting about...

    Battery drain is faster than expected or is this normal?

    My driving is mostly on residential/side roads w/ 25-45 mph speed limits and I usually keep to the speed limit. My trips are under 20 mi round trip, no long trips, just shuttling back and forth from school (7 mi round trip) and errands. There are times I'm on a highway doing 60-65, but it's for...

    Battery drain is faster than expected or is this normal?

    JT, I am having the same issue w/ my dual motor Y. I have under 2k mi on it. I've calculated that I'm getting about 52.9% of the battery range. Fully charged I'm at 254 mi on the battery (set at 80%), I traveled 99 mi (based on the odometer reading) yet the battery gauge is at 69 mi when I...
