    CyberTruck Range Test: What they don’t want you to know

    Took a roadtrip to Arizona this past weekend so I decided to share how the CyberTruck did with its range. The results may shock you

    Have MYLR, thinking about buying MX

    Any advice? It looks like the X will charge a little faster and go a little further. I am buying it mainly because I make frequent cross country trips and want added comfort.

    CyberTruck towing a 7,000 lb travel trailer

    I finally towed my 33’ 7,000 lb travel trailer with my CyberTruck. I did a roughly 110 mile round trip loop run to test the CyberTrucks ability to tow the trailer as well as test its range. Hope you enjoy!

    70D 2015/16 range on original battery

    I have a January 2016 Model S 70D and I’ve owned it since August 2020 (second hand with 29500 miles). It originally charged to 276 miles (100%) and today 5 Feb 2024 it still charges to 267 miles (100% with 95,000 miles). It has lost 9 miles of ultimate range in 3 and a half years. I’m reading...

    Did Model S Plaid just have range downgraded by 37 miles?

    I just purchased a model s plaid 3 weeks ago and I believe the sell sheet and website listed a 396 mile range, 9 below the regular S. Now the same website is reporting a 359 mile range. Has anyone else observed this?

    Long Commutes and Daily Charging

    Hello All, So I commute 5 days a week for about 150 miles round trip. Sucks, I know but the pay is very good, and my mortgage is dirt cheap compared to what I make now (wouldn't be so cheap if I live and reside in Bay Area). Total Miles is about 150-mile round trip every weekday. That would be...

    New here. Driving Efficiency Question

    Hey all. Just bought a 2020 Model 3 SR+ with 13,000 miles on it. I've had it two weeks today and had some questions about my efficiency and battery health. I understand, of course, that I will not be getting the range advertised as I will not be driving in the very specific conditions that EPA...

    Charging complete at 36miles. Not getting full range.

    While the car was being driven at around 20mins left at range on the way home and a warning came up for reduced power and the vehicle may not restart. Driver pulls over and of course car doesn’t not restart. Had to pull out the 12V battery to bring home to charge due to the charging port not...

    Melbourne to Thredbo M3 LR

    I’m planning a ski trip to Thredbo (Australia) from Melbourne via Khancoban in my M3 LR. Has anyone done this trip and if so were there any issues with charging? The Tesla app says I should be able to do it with a single supercharger session in Wodonga and 18% left at the end. There seems to be...

    MY efficiency at 5700 miles

    We lose a lot of efficiency living on a hill but otherwise seem to be hitting the EPA range and more. Anyone else have similar experience?

    2,922km trip

    We recently travelled from the Northern Beaches (Sydney) to the Barossa Valley (SA) and return in our 3LR. Some of this information might be useful, particularly to new-comers. It is hardly an adventure trip and does not rival those who have gone around the continent, done Sydney-Darwin-return...

    Sydney to Canberra in a Model Y RWD

    I've done this trip plenty of times before in a Model 3 SR+, and so I thought I would document what it's like in a Model Y RWD. The weather was is the low 20s, with some light rain coming out of Sydney. The car was driven at the speed limit to stay with traffic, and it could certainly have been...

    2023 Model Y RWD, LFP battery: Initial range at 418 instead 445 km

    I'm newbe and I've had my Tesla Model Y, RWD for about two weeks now. So far I have fully (100%) charged the car twice - once per week as suggested for the LFP battery type. In both cases at 100% charged, car shows a range estimation of 418 km which is about 6% less from the advertised 445...

    Real world Model Y RWD efficiency

    Today on my commute to work I noticed that I was down to 23% charge, and remembered that I had topped up last Friday. Whilst sitting in traffic, I decided to check the trip meter and it helpfully pointed out that I had done 397kms since the last charge. Now almost all of these kms have been...

    2022 Model 3 Propulsion/RWD (with LFP battery) real world range

    Hey all. Initiating this poll to figure out how the 2022 RWD (LFP battery) M3 has been doing in terms of efficiency. I understand that folks measure the efficiency differently in different places but here in France we do kwh/100 kms. So appreciate y’all for the maths that you’d be doing in order...

    2023 Model Y LR Poor Mileage in real world

    I recently picked up my 2023 model y LR and have driven it less than 400 miles (600km) but noticed it has really horrible mileage. Two Instances: I would go 10 miles (16km) in city driving and it would eat up 6% battery making the mileage 166 miles (270km) on full charge. In another instance...

    M3 vs MY efficiency

    I had a M3 which I've driven over 8,300 miles with about 213Wh/Mi with grandma driving, would be much lower if we didn't have to blast AC during the summer. I just got the MY and noticed that the battery usage is about 15% higher even though we do not turn on the A/C, namely the "driving"...

    Range loss on Midrange Model 3?

    Hello, friends. Apologies if this is answered elsewhere: I did my best to peek around first. I got a Midrange Model 3 at the tail end of 2018. I feel like I've lost a step on the range side: now getting around 190 miles on 80% around 240 on full charge. I have about 25,000 miles. Just...

    2017 X p100d - avg 430 kwh/mi

    Hi All! I've been struggling understanding why my kwh/mi is so high compared to my peers. Technicians say it's because of the performance motors but I'd like to know what kind of numbers other performance model owners get. Here's my story: 2017 P100D bought in 2019 from an owner in Georgia. He...

    Effect of wider tires on range

    I'm thinking of scrapping the 20" Uberturbines and Pirelli tires from my (soon to be delivered) M3P in favor of 19"x9.5J ET34 wheels with Michelin PilotSport 4S 265/35R19 (square setup). I was able to find plenty of info about ET, J, tire sizes and so on but nothing (at least not consolidated)...

    Displayed Range, Watts/Mile, Calculated Battery Capacity on 2021/2022 Model 3s

    I am considering trading my 2019 LR RWD Model 3 with 19” rims for a 2022 M3P or 2022 M3 AWD. I am trying to judge the real-world range and battery capacity that I would have in a new car. I’d lose radar, and homelink. I’d pick up acceleration and restart the warranty. Not sure what my real...

    Range estimation bug in 2022.16.1.2?

    I just upgraded to 2022.16.1.2. The Energy app now claims an average consumption rate, when driving in my neighbourhood, of ~100 Wh/km (used to be ~167) and estimated range has jumped by ~60%. I assume the range overestimate will feed into navigation system “charge at destination” estimates that...

    Why my Wh/mi so bad?

    Hi Guys, so I recently received my model y long range. It’s a 7 seater with laminar wheel cover from Rimetrix. I’ve been mostly driving local with AC set to 68-70 with only 1 passenger. I dunno why my wh/mi so bad. Any idea? Speed was mostly within 30-45.

    Supercharging projection underestimated

    How are we supposed to get est range @ 90% 100% etc. now?

    These new updates are awful. I can't adjust the SoC capacity unless it's actually plugged in which is stupid. I should be able to open the app at any point and slide the SoC to 80% 90% 100% or whatever. They appear to have also removed the estimate of range that previously existed. So, even if I...

    M3 LR Real World Range

    Improving the Model 3 Aerodynamics (for range)?

    How to display rated range at 100% without charging to 100%?

    Is there an easy way, without charging to 100%, to display the 100% rated or ideal range? I'm asking because I don't want to ask dealers to charge to 100%, and some dealers don't know the UI menus at all. Is it just a matter of changing to % display, then calculating the range at 100%? I saw...

    Should Maximum Charge Be Changed Over Time

    I have a 2015 Model S. When I first purchased the car, a 100% charge would lead to about 270 miles of charge. Typically, I would charge it to 90% except prior to long trips so it would stop charging at about 240 miles or so (about 90% of 270). It has been 6 years and if I charge it to the...
