I've been noticing a lot of unaccounted for range loss over recent months. The latest update doesn't help.
I'm not a programmer but I believe the degradation may be hidden in the energy consumption, rather than the full charge amount.
I've documented my latest trip. This is a regular pattern even with higher temperatures.
SR+, chill mode, cabin heated up while plugged in
12c outside temp (53f) throughout the trip
Started with full charge of 377 km (used to get 386)
Drove 125 km (flat, 105 km/h average on highway)
Car shows 179 kms left
73 km lost
Return trip
added 45 km at a SC for a starting of 224 km
drove back 97 km
Car is left with 78 km
49 km loss
Total charged: 422
Total driven: 222
Remaining: 78
Total lost: 122
Percentage lost: 29%
Has someone been able to get into the cars software to analyze the algorithms and calculations for battery charge and range?
Showing a full charge close to the claimed range would avoid lawsuits and warranty claims.
All range loss issues would then be blamed on driving habits, temperature, wind resistance etc. which would be subjective and invalid as a claim. Tesla needs to be transparent with this programming.
Any thoughts?
