    Charging with standard 15amp?

    I agree. 120V is pretty worthless. By the way, looks like your max range is back up to around 290 and I am dead last in Teslafi again. You’re welcome to have that spot back if u want. LOL. Not much response about my post related to ending on a hill so maybe nothing there. Hmmm. Now what? I am...

    Battery Degradation Related to Hill Climb to Get Home?

    Our situation is similar yet my battery capacity/max range seems to be much less. My lifetime wh/mi is around 270...so less than yours. The only other thing I can think of is I had a streak of a lot of 65% and 70% charges and maybe that messed up my BMS. That said, I have been trying to...

    Lucky you...how many miles on your vehicle? Can you share your other charging habits?

    Battery Degradation Related to Hill Climb to Get Home?

    Just to clarify, we are talking about overall battery degradation, not range projection on a specific trip. Sorry if any confusion there. The fact that my max range est at 100% (only 278 miles) is dead last in the Teslafi fleet when it's a young vehicle and battery has been gently treated has...

    Battery Degradation Related to Hill Climb to Get Home?

    Tesla has not be able to tell me why my 5800 mile/8 month old MY has pronounced range loss even though I have been super easy on my battery (no DC charging whatsoever, only charged to 100% once, mostly operate in SOC range of 50-70% since short daily drives, non aggressive driving habits...

    CAC Measurement/Range Loss

    One other question. If i do the rebalancing that I spoke about (and many other posts address) and the rebalancing is successful, does that mean my CAC could actually get better (go up)? Or once it's gone down, it's gone down for good?

    CAC Measurement/Range Loss

    Thanks for the info...trying to figure out your math...can you help with that? Also several other posts have said the actual pack with reserve is 78 kWh. So if its 78 kWh, what's the calculated CAC when new? Anyone else heard of what the CAC is when new? I have searched the web...can't find...

    CAC Measurement/Range Loss

    I have a MY LR took delivery in June. Only about 5500 miles. My range has lagged the Teslafi fleet since almost the beginning and was recently reported as dead last out of 207 vehicles. See image showing down to 285 range (rated is 326). I know, congratulations, I am the Biggest Loser, LOL. I...

    Battery Range w Lower SOC Charging

    I have a 3 month old Model Y and I am concerned about the range at 100% as reported by Teslafi being way below EPA rating of 316. On my last charge shows estimated range at 301. Of course no way battery should have degraded this much in 3 months and 2k miles. I think my problem might be related...

    Model Y Crash/Safety Testing/Rating

    Anyone know when the Model Y will be crash tested for safety ratings? Supposedly should do very well but would be nice to actually see results to confirm what we've been told.

    How I Recovered Half of my Battery's Lost Capacity

    One of the most helpful posts I've seen and I have read a lot of them. I have a 2 month old LR Model Y and my battery range readings don't make any sense and the Tesla folks don't seem to know how to answer my questions. I have provided a bunch of data, charts, spreadsheets and basis analysis...

    Trip Range and Consumption 2020 Model Y

    As far as my prior posts on poor Wh/Mi, I mentioned I live on a hill. Trying to figure out why my overall wattage use is so high, I isolated a trip down the hill and back up the hill and backed out those drives to get a Wi/mi. Here's the stats: the up/down trips represent about 15% of our...

    Phantom Drain Inconsistency between Third Party Apps

    I am a new owner of a MY LR w/20's. I am using 3 third party apps to gather data/learn...will likely choose one of the three for the long term. The daily reported phantom drain between the three apps I am trying out is different. I looked back on one week and here’s the comparison for TeslaFi...

    Trip Range and Consumption 2020 Model Y

    MY-Y...tell us more since you are one of the few that are getting anywhere close to rated miles...what average speed, temp, wheel size, etc. Also, any long trips where you running to 0% and how many kWh are you able to access?

    Trip Range and Consumption 2020 Model Y

    I have a 3 week old MY LR w/20's. About 800 miles. I am averaging around 310 wh/mi, so Cal, not aggressive driving, more local than highway. And mostly on Chill mode. So 310 kinda sucks and my estimated range for my typical driving is somewhere in the 230-250 max range...WAY less than 316...

    Model Y HVAC--Lower AC Temp vs Higher Fan

    Three weeks into MY LR w/20" ownership. Wh/mi is averaging around 310 so far and we keep it in Chill mode most of the time and really don't push it much. That said, we live on a hill...agh. So trying to figure out how to use a bit less energy when using the A/C (which is often). My wife likes...

    kWh and Wh/Mi Data from Third Party Apps vs Vehicle

    My wife just drove from OC to San Diego. First "long" drive (150 miles) for our new MY LR. Upon her return, I reviewed drive date on three apps: TeslaFi, TezLabs and Nikola. The total distance and average speed on each matched the car but total kWh and Wh/Mi was different. TezLabs and Nikola...

    What kind of Wh/mi are you guys getting?

    We've had our LR w/ 20" 3 weeks, average is 312 watt/mi and we're not really pushing it much. We do live on a hill, and certainly that doesn't help. Even excluding the hill to our home, we are seeing high 200's watt/mi. As far as range, have ready many posts and articles (and fleet data off 3rd...

    Do you have your sleep settings set properly? I don’t believe it should be draining that much range…

    Low Amp Charging?

    Thank you, Camalaio...I agree, back to topic, now thinking that really not much, if any, benefit to lower amp charging. Based on several posts and input from many, seems 24A is more efficient (vs 12A) and the heat/stress (or wear/tear) on battery on 24A vs 12A is negligible. Anyone disagree?

    Model Y Battery 77-78 Kwh?

    Zoomit, this is EXCELLENT stuff. Thank you a bunch for the info. Very helpful. I think I am going with the 78 kWh (got the capital right this time, LOL) as ABSOLUTE MAX capacity (in a perfect situation), 74-75 as "real capacity" and 72-73 to "max useable capital without high anxiety". All...

    Model Y Battery 77-78 Kwh?

    Took delivery of my MY about 2 weeks ago. Been trying to figure out range info as what it looks to be is very disappointing info. This took me to a question of battery capacity as i was running scenarios at different Wi/Mile. While specs say 75 Kwh, many posts speak to "hidden capacity". I...

    Low Amp Charging?

    Given my daily trips are only around 25 miles and only using about 10% of range, any reason not to do my daily charge at 240V/ but lower amps to make it easier on battery? I have read a post from an owner who did a study that showed that charging efficiency is the same at 240V/24Amps as...

    Range Loss Model Y

    Took delivery of my Model LR Y w 20's 13 days ago. Turned on Teslafi a couple days after I got it and 315.04 range reported (close to rated 316). Now, about 10 days later (odometer at under 350 miles), Teslafi reports 311.72 range, a loss of over 1% even after i did a 20% to 95% charge to...

    Maximum charge level for daily use

    My daily drive is about 10% and i charge to 70%. This means a typical cycle is 55/60% range back to 70% range. So question: is a frequent short charge (only add 10-15%) less optimal than a longer charge? Should i drain more, say to 40-50% before charging? Thinking I could plug it in daily (as...

    Charging Efficiency Mobile Charger?

    Yes, Connector not Charger...oops...sorry about that. Found an interesting thread on this topic at Tesla Forum...basically saying that when charging at 240/24A (my level with NEMA 14-30), efficiency from the breaker panel to the battery was tested to be 93.9%. So the 97% ish I reported above...

    What kind of Wh/mi are you guys getting?

    Gotcha...I've heard the same and probably the right way to do the math...but i don't see me driving the car when it registers 0%...so i guess we are talking "effective" range vs "max anxiety" range, LOL.

    What kind of Wh/mi are you guys getting?

    251Wh/Mi Average = Max theoretical range of around 289. It'll be interesting to see if anyone posts actual Wh/Mi in the 229 range to get to the 316 total range...hopefully more will chime in...

    What kind of Wh/mi are you guys getting?

    So how, then, did Tesla get a 316 mile rating? I've only had my MY LR 20" about 10 days and disappointed that 316 will probably never happen. We are averaging 320W/mi since we bought it, but that includes some "demo" acceleration. Last few days, more stabilized/normal driving, running about...

    Charging Efficiency Mobile Charger?

    I took delivery of MY w 20" wheels last week. Been using Mobile Charger (as supplied w/car) with NEMA 14-30 adapter (that the plug available in my garage). I am very surprised that my charging efficiency as reported by Teslafi is 97%+ over 16 charges, both long ones and short ones. Seems too...

    Model Y Road Trip Experience

    Thanks for the great report. Two questions: Do you have the PUP package to get those red calipers? And second question on range...where you able to determine if 316 mile rating is a "real" number w your 20" wheels and based on your trip data? I took delivery a week ago of a white long range...

    Teslafi vs Nikola vs Stats

    I am currently using both Teslafi and Nikola. Going to choose and stick with one. Maybe should try Stats? Looking for opinions but couple quick observations from my side so far. Like the additional detail Teslafi gives but wish it had a phone interface. Nikola is cleaner and has phone interface...

    Paint Issues at Delivery

    Is there a way to fix without repainting a large area? I am thinking an emery board of sorts to precision file with appropriate grit down to surrounding surface level then a tiny bit of touch up paint...a "micro" repair, not a big repair.

    Paint Issues at Delivery

    I took delivery of Model Y yesterday. There were a few paint and fit and trim issues, most notably a nick on edge of bumper that showed base black plastic material and a dust nib or dimple at the edge of the passenger door. The delivery team touched up the nick but the nib/dimple on the handle...
