I'll just highlight that reading the manual, as noted here, will answer a ton of questions on this topic. There are a lot of posts here that could be resolved with a little research into that wonderful resource...!And the manual says there is no benefit to intentionally running it lower before charging back up. This jives with lithium ion battery behavior, too, where more shallow charging events is a little better than fewer deep charges.
When the vehicle is new the Tesla Model Y's battery management system does not have many data points available to estimate the state of charge of the battery. It helps with estimation if the battery charge is allowed, on occassion, to reach above 90% (up to 95%) and also dip to 30% or slightly lower before charging.So, I didn’t change wheels; I still have the Uber’s I just changed tires. Does that effect displayed range?
As for the 10-100% thing, I had read if you do that a couple times a year it’s good for the battery? Wrong/ right, I have no idea; anyone try it?
I'll quote from where I've mentioned this before. No, it's not good for the battery. It's good for the accuracy of the software's energy estimation algorithm, but is actually a little worse for the battery.As for the 10-100% thing, I had read if you do that a couple times a year it’s good for the battery?

This is a really good point - the inherent conflict in these 2 goals. And new owners, myself included, are typically more concerned about the accurate battery reading (read: the most range). After a time, most realize that the range accuracy is the lesser of the two as it really doesn't matter. On my road trips, using the Tesla nav, it so infrequently runs the battery down to the teens or even the low 20's % before telling me to stop and charge, that the max range doesn't really come into play.I'll quote from where I've mentioned this before.

New owners are always wanting these two things at the same time, which just can't happen, because they are opposite, conflicting goals.
Treat the battery the nicest.
Have the most accurate battery reading.
You don't get to have both at the same time. The healthiest thing for the battery is small charge/discharge cycles in the middle of the state of charge. But that is also what is giving the least information for the car to read the state of the amount of energy in the battery, so the estimate is going to get fuzzy.
Ugg, sorry to be "that guy" but the expression is "jibes with". Jive is a type of music or meaningless chatter (or a song...1958 Johnny Otis 'Hand JIve'). But since you probably won't read this post, it is a mute point....And the manual says there is no benefit to intentionally running it lower before charging back up.

Oh, no, I definitely appreciate that. It's an expression I use pretty infrequently, so I do forget and mix that one up. Thanks.Ugg, sorry to be "that guy" but the expression is "jibes with".

Could be temp but more likely your driving habits. Lead foot=less miles available.Is it possible that the change 303 to 293 is attributed to the change in temp? It seems to be pretty recent
No, that can't be it. Tesla does not use your personal driving history/efficiency to readjust that rated miles number in the battery display unlike all other brands of electric cars.Could be temp but more likely your driving habits. Lead foot=less miles available.
Any car you drive with your foot on the fast pedal all the way down will get fewer miles per unit of energy. If I run my Lexus hard I get less expected miles at fill up on the info screen. Same for the Tesla. Look at the energy usage graph in your MY and see where you can improve.No, that can't be it.

You're not getting it, and that is totally irrelevant. Someone is asking about why the number on the display shows 293 when full instead of 303 that they used to get. That is a number called "rated miles" and does not figure in someone's personal driving style. And none of that has to do with how much actual distance someone will eventually be able to drive, which is what you are referring to.Any car you drive with your foot on the fast pedal all the way down will get fewer miles per unit of energy.
