75D bought new June 2018; I'm at almost 19,000 miles and the battery just recently went from "100%" to "95%" per SmartCharge. I get about 245 miles since I started checking a few months ago compared to the 259 Tesla had displayed when I picked her up. I do however wonder if she ever really got 259 or if that was just a Tesla showroom delivery thing. In any event, this seems to be in range with the stated loss of 5% range in the first 15K and - hopefully - another 5% over the next 150K. I try not to hurt the pack, generally, charge to 80% or less (I will often just charge to 60 during the week since I don't do a lot of mileage); I do Supercharge when I can since it's free for me as long as I own this car. I probably do 50/50 between home and SC. I think overall the batteries are very well made and unless you really abuse them they will last a long time with minimal loss of range.

I think the 5% at the first 15K and 5% for the next 150K is a good guide. Maybe 6 or 7%?
I'm about the same on a 2018 MS with 18,000 miles. I am estimating from 80% (I never charge to 100).
This is normal range - the 259 rating was a maximum possible range and was in my view fiction. I think the real range was closer to 250; you lose about 5% breaking in the battery pack in the first 15K miles. You should be fine but don't charge to 100% - everything I've read says that over 80% damages the battery.
I think it's normal. 5% loss the first 15,000 and another 5% over the next 150,000. The problem is the 259-mile rating is fictional, the cars are actually closer to 250.

2017 Model S75D
My car was rated at 259 (MS 75D 2017) BUT I installed the 21" wheels so I was getting about 249ish NEW. Now 2 years and 21k miles I'm getting about 245 avg, so that is about 1.6% loss or 98.4% . I charge at work 90% of the time at 32amp 208V.
I've also noticed if I drive normal, I avg 280w/mile before I was at 320w/mile, so how you drive makes a difference and wheel size!

what I want to know is.. when you set your vehicle settings to 21" does your rated miles actually drop.
For example if you had 19" on, it would show 259 rated miles, but as soon as you install 21" and the car detects you have 21", does the rated miles instantly drop to 249?

July 2018 build and took delivery 12/31/18. Currently have 21,000 and at home I charge to 90%. This puts me between 221/223 miles of rated range. I haven't charged to 100% in a while so don't remember what it got up to. But the 222 miles of range at 90% has been the norm since I took delivery.

Just charged up to 100% yesterday and I’m now showing 244 miles. Currently sitting at 23,300 miles.
Dec ‘16 75D at 68k miles.
I am down to 210 at 90% daily charge. A bit depressing that my actual range is around 177 miles now.
It seems this under 210 range capacity is consistent with all early 2018 and under 75D owners in this thread. Pretty sad.
Considering downgrading to a long range 3.
Thoughts?

So you still get 230+ miles at 100%. Doesn't seem bad at all.
For me the extra range of the 3 isn't needed for 99% of my driving.
I just drove across California and had no problems with my 75D. Still drives for hours without needing to stop and I can easily skip superchargers.
I checked A Better Routeplanner and I wouldn't have saved much time at all with the extra range of, say, a 90D.
I'm at about the same with a 2018 June build 75D at 20K. I think it plateaus there and really slows down over the next 100K.
They seem to plateau at around 15K. I have been at around 242 for a year now. It seems to be the normal break-in for the battery.
I have the same car built June 2018. I have experienced exactly the same thing with Smartcharge and my charging behavior is similar. I think it's normal - 5% early and then it really tapers off. I have been at about 242 for at least a year now.
I'm at about 22K and I have been at 241.25 (estimate based on 193 at 80%) for about a year now, so it seems to plateau around 15K. Adding 50% to my charge adds 35kWh so I believe I'm at 70 kWh usable. I don't know if I have lost 5 kWh because I don't know if the pack was truly 75 at delivery. It seems to be in line with the averages I'm seeing here; don't stress it - remember this is just an estimate and the conditions you drive under are what really matters.
