Hello,
I was able to get a good deal last month a used 2016 model x 75D with all the features and more importantly within my price range. Despite the good price, it had about 45k miles on it, but still qualified for the 4 year warranty.
My question is around battery degradation and actual mileage. I was planning on taking on going to the mountains this weekend for our first roadtrip. So I plugged the destination in the navigation and says it is only 125 miles away. It was morning so I just got done charging to 90% and had a range of 205 for the day. So with the destination plugged in, it told me I had ti make a supercharging stop about halfway and then after that, it would put me at about 35% when i arrived to destination. So I then removed the supercharging stop to see if I can make it since I have 205 miles and the destination was only 125 miles away, as I figured that I had about an 80 mile buffer. But what it had showed me was a -11% and that i needed to make the supercharging stop on order to make the destination.
Now I know elevation and speed plays a factor in energy consumption, but should I be concerned with this 80 mile loss in energy consumption or is this normal for 2016 75D owners? Also, considering I got the car with 45k miles, should i be worried about battery degradation from the previous owner?
Finally, is there a way to track actual battery performance/energy consumption if I am just currently using my X for no more than 20-30 miles of daily use around town?
Thanks in advance for any responses or advice/tips
