API Battery/Range Data and True Range

[gaM3changer]

I've been exploring the Tesla API and have a question that hopefully someone here can answer.

Sending the request "data_request/charge_state" returns the response below. Anybody know what the difference between ideal_battery_range vs est_battery_range? Ideal matches battery_range which is the number displayed in the car and app.

Running some quick numbers:
66% of 309mi = 203.94mi
66% of 310mi = 204.6mi
66% of 337mi = 222.42mi

Could the max range from the LR battery pack be closer to 337 miles?

Maybe est_battery_range is based on your average consumption? Similar to what you see on the energy page?

It is exactly this, for the longest distance of the 3 options (30mi or 50km depending on your unit preference) but always shown in the API in miles.

No, how about you do: 203.64 / 310.00 = 65.69%, which matches the API’s “66” rounded to nearest %

See post above. est_battery_range is the estimated range shown in your last 30 miles or last 50 km of driving (depending on your display preference), but always reported in units of miles by the API.
