I have a M3 RWD on order EDD is Jan/2023. This will be my first Tesla and I live in Philadelphia so its a colder climate but not as cold as like Chicago or Boston, etc.
I understand there are many factors that affect battery range(driving habits, hilly roads, etc) but I wanted to just focus on the range degradation in colder weather with everything else being equal.
Questions for those of you that have the LFP battery living in colder climate.
1. Given LFP can be charged to 100%, do you see the same range when charging to 100% in winter vs. summer? For example in summer at 100% you get 272, do you also see 272 at 100% in winter or less?
2. What should be the "expected or real world" range degradation in winter, when driving on highway (80mph), with heat on full blast, lets say around 10-20 degree winter temperature? Is 50% degradation in range a good rule of thumb?
3. At what temperature do you start to see degradation in range with everything else being equal? For example if summer around 80-90 degree you don't see any degradation, but do you start to see it around 50-60 degree or colder?
4. Does it charge slower in winter? If so, how much slower would you estimate?
5. How much of impact does preconditioning help with range in winter?
Thanks in advance,
