Look I get it you don’t like me taking mean about Tesla. Expectations set by the media from googling “Tesla model 3 degradation” https://www.google.com/amp/s/insideevs.com/reviews/573397/tesla-model-3-100k-battery-degradation-range-test/amp/...

I made it to my parents today without charging but by the skin of my teeth and driving conservatively. It bothers me knowing that I could have driven more liberally if I had 5% more capacity as in your example. Also it’s my expensive (depreciating) asset and the most expensive component of that...

Yeah I guess I’m just a dumb consumer on this front. I anticipated the 70% left a lot of room for margin of error for Tesla to de risk their offering. Looks like I’m following the 99th percentile worst trend here. Maybe I should dumb the vehicle to vroom soon?

Thanks for the replies. Does anyone else find this upsetting? This seems well below the range I anticipated.

I rather publicly on YouTube did 2 range tests of my vehicle. The initial test I measured a capacity from 98-1% while driving over a 3.3 hr period. My 2021 SR+ showed excellent capacity (53.1kWh useable; 215.5mi*239wh/mi); more than I anticipated. I just performed a very similar range test...

@mrgoogle. Only a year late here but a 60mV imbalance is 100% a bad cell. Probably an internal short that escaped initial QA.

Hah! That’s what phantom wants you to think.

@mrgoogle. what does your SMT result say for cell imbalance, full pack when new and degradation?

@jjrandorin, understood. Apologies. Will keep any future range tests, should there be more, in here.

just auto. I used my wife as a non-scientific standard (she was filming). If she said it was hot, temp went down, if she said it was cold, temp went up. we never went below 68F or above 70F.

I think in this circumstance as the car has the very efficient heat pump which is why we're seeing only a mild hit to range due to climate control, less than 5%. Speed is of course always going to be killer, can't change the physics of moving air out of the way!

Hi All, I previously did a range test at as optimal conditions for the car in the winter as possible (pre-heated battery, 32F, 70mph, no heater) On Saturday I did 2x out of 3 suboptimal (faster + heat on): Details: 75-77 mph cruise control setting. (Some traffic, construction, onramps off...

Any theories on the newly released model Y's battery size? I'm going to guess same as my 2021 M3 SR+ which is 55 new / 53.5 useable upon getting it (less the 2.4-2.5kWh buffer).

Code reads: (?) T012033700MDJ (F) 110442B-00-T

I'm sorry this isn't clearer but it's the best I could get this morning. might try again later:

didn’t see this message till the am. Yeah I have a jack and a camera I’ll take a picture sometime this morning and edit this post with it. Also the pack voltage at 100% is 402ish volts if that helps count cells.

@AlanSubie4Life Thanks for the reply, I learn like 3 new things every time you do. So yeah the max rated range was 259mi heading to the level 2 charger but went up to 262mi in the phone app when the battery got warm (that's the variable that changed is my guess). NOTE: I just checked the...

That’s a fair criticism I suppose. My goal was to get the most ideal number possible. I decided to go for the most optimal conditions I could as you aren’t going to beat this number. There’s one million and one ways to get to worse efficiency like you suggest and there are only a few ways to get...

Hi All, Long time lurker however recent poster, owner and youtuber. I made as scientific a range test as I could and had scan my tesla reporting data periodically from a bluetooth ODBii reader. The test is documented here in this video: I tried to account for wind, temp, range and elevation...

Here’s a screen capture from the end of the test, the app is a bit buggy so some values are inconsistent but the full pack when new number (55.4) is static as far as I’ve seen

Sorry for mixing units on this post right now but I’ll fix it up later. Just finished the range test with Bluetooth meter attached and scan my Tesla reporting! I’m hoping to make a short YouTube video about it if anyone is interested. The test was not perfect.... Energy Available When New: I...

just back from the range test. Picked it up on Thursday as well but didn’t get a chance to do the range test until today.

I test batteries for living so I guess I'm a little obsessed. That's fantastic news man I'm really excited for you and your family. I'm hoping my car is on the lot as well but at this rate I wouldn't be surprised if I've been black listed.

You’re more patient than I. I drove to Dedham and asked what was going on. They said my car is still in New Jersey parking lot not sure it’s gonna leave today or not. If you want to go grey my SA said there is a 859408 in Dedham right now. Go for it if you like. I’m going to put the car in...

UPDATE: Car is NOT here, SA said tomorrow. Who knows if we should believe him.

Ditto. Sounds like both of our cars are on the same truck. I was scheduled for Monday, then delayed Tuesday, then delayed to the 26th. My SA said they were near manhattan when I called yesterday afternoon and it should be here this morning. I am hoping for pickup today but they might be delayed...

@MikeInBoston Did you get a 2021 Model 3 or 2020? Only asking because I'm also in the Boston area with SR+ and they are suggesting my M3 is delayed until the 26th because they can't find a truck to put my car on.

thanks for the super quick reply. How come? EDIT: my question is answered here: Should I display range, or percent? also sorry for posting this here if it’s the wrong place for it. I am very excited for the car regardless of what the capacity turns out to be. My big concern is I live in...

Hi, joined the forum years ago but first post. I’m about to be an actual owner so maybe it’s okay to comment now. I bought scan my Tesla, a Bluetooth odb2 reader, adapter, plastic pry bars, oh and a 2021 SR+ which I’m going to pick up on Monday. I’d like to verify the initial capacity of the...
