Third party apps should come with a warning label that it’s dangerous to your mental health as it causes battery obsession. What you’re seeing is perfectly normal. I would suggest you delete TeslaFi and just enjoy your car.I have put ~ 13600 miles on my baby. Already teslafi showing loss of 10 miles in less than a year. I have see it fluctuate a lot but concerned that now the upper limit seems to be around 300!

We grew up with %age. Remember analog fuel gauges? Say you had ½ a tank, or 50% left to get to Albuquerque. No one complained back then, did they? Plus the trip graph is also in %age.Percentage makes no sense to me. If I see a road sign that says Albuquerque is 100 miles away and my car shows 150 miles of range remaining, then I have a pretty good sense that I'll make it. Combine that with the trip graph and all your worries will melt away.
Your statement means nothing with EPA rated range as it's not indicative of your driving habits. I would suggest using percentage on the main screen and use the Energy app for remaining range.Percentage makes no sense to me.

Percentage is completely not indicative of my driving habits though, so why use that?? LOL. At least EPA rated range is relatable. If I’m a hyper miler I know I can beat it, if I’m a lead foot I know I need a 50% buffer ... it’s relatable. Abstract % is useless.Your statement means nothing with EPA rated range as it's not indicative of your driving habits.
Why?I would suggest using percentage on the main screen and use the Energy app for remaining range.
I can use the energy app as a supplement in addition to the energy gauge. What’s the benefit to me of using percent?ICE cars use percentage (fuel gauge) for the amount of fuel and then most cars supplement that with an option to show "expected" range till empty (based on driving habits). Teslas have this too and it's called the Energy App. If you want to know if you can make it that 100 miles to Albuquerque, then use the energy app to see if you can make it based on your car and your driving habits, same as an ICE.
Using the EPA rated range the Tesla uses on the main screen results in all these crazy posts we have of "I drove 15 actual miles but my range dropped 25" posts, should I take my car into the SC?" Further, the EPA rated range and displaying that as default has advanced the "range anxiety" phenomena we hear about in way more posts than is necessary.
I was concerned about a recent 10-12 mile drop in the rated range display on my MR Model 3 until I watched this video...
It makes a great case for leaving the display on battery percentage versus range. Essentially, if you can still charge to 100% you have virtually no degradation. Leaving the display on percentage and using the energy graph set on 15 miles and average range to project your realistic range has been working great for me. I've found the range display to be almost useless now as it really depends on what type of driving you're currently doing and how aggressive you are. I just completed a 27.3 mile test loop in the city where the speed ranged between 30 and 50 mph. I consumed 9% which equates to a range of 303 miles even though my car has an EPA-rated 264 mile range and currently shows 252 miles range at 100%. Additionally, for 12 of those miles, I used the navigation function and "Trip" tab of the energy display and consistently used less energy than the car thought I would along that entire route and arrived with 2% more battery than the car was initially projecting. Try the percent display and use the energy graph. You might end up liking it more than displaying range.

Wow--no. The % is just a fullness measurement. A battery can degrade and lose three fourths of its energy capacity, and the car will still report 100% when it has put in all the energy it is capable of, even if the actual energy storage has gotten pathetically small.It makes a great case for leaving the display on battery percentage versus range.

You need to charge to 100% every few months to allow the battery cells to equalize.
And stop worrying about the battery.
I can see both side of the arguments between range bs percentage. I say use what your are comfortable with and enjoy the car. Don’t put too much worries into battery degradation.
