This past weekend I did a test drive in a used 2021 MY LR AWD. The dealer was an ICE dealer and the tech did not know how to charge a Tesla. I was told the tech used the wrong port. The distance showed 42 miles at the beginning with this being in the red zone. When I completed the drive the distance showed 27 miles. I drove conservatively except twice I accelerated hard from 35 to 65. When I returned to the dealer I switched from distance to energy and this showed 9% SOC.
At the beginning of the test drive the A/C was on at 70 with low fan speed. I switched the A/C to Auto and the temperature went to low and the fan speed went to high.
I have some questions:
When the energy level drops below 20% does the battery drain speed increase?
Does the Auto setting for the A/C use more energy than just the A/C setting?
Does the fan speed of the A/C or Auto effect the rate of energy drain?
Thank you in advance for any and all answers.
