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 in this test as best as possible. I did run into a couple issues for example I only managed to charge the vehicle to 255/262 rated miles (all is mentioned in the video). I ended the test at 3 miles rated. The car drove 205 miles (more like 204 at 70 mph / 110 kph). I probably talk excessively about temps during the video but hopefully this serves as evidence of the test at the very least.
Conclusions:
It SEEMS like, and correct me if I'm wrong, this battery is larger than other people have said their previous gens SR+ is? The 55.4kWh when new number / 53.4 kWh nominal useable when new seems large. Again please correct me if I am wrong. The range seems theoretically like 219-220 miles: (204/0.97 dSoC / 0.955 incld. buffer =220 miles) 83.6% of EPA rated range.
