My question is: should I set a minimum number for range shown at 100% charge? For instance, should I require it to be 240 miles or higher? This concern is the only thing that kept me from purchasing the car yesterday and I am not sure how critical it is, or whether to make my decision to buy contingent on a reasonable looking range number. A follow-on question: I read about cycling the battery by discharging to 10% and slowly charging to 100% as a way to "reset" the BMS so it sees the full capacity of the battery -- how effective is this in increasing the range the car reports?
In short, if this dealer is correct and the 100% range is only 225 miles, A) should I buy the car? And, B) what it the likelihood that cycling the battery in this way would "improve" the range? Thanks in advance -- I hope to be joining you all in driving my very own new/used Tesla very soon!
