Full charge range displayed may not be indicative of real range or real battery capacity. Usually the displayed range conceals battery degradation. But maybe in your case it is the other way around. In any event, you might want to compare your actual range now to your actual range before. You can use your battery % display to extrapolate, For example, if you drive 100 miles and your battery goes from 80% to 30%, then: 100 / (.8-.3) equals 200 miles of full charge range.
By the way, my 2016 90D has a real full charge range of 190-200 miles. And the displayed full charge range is 270 miles. So, full charge range displayed may not be indicative of real range or real battery capacity.
I’ll try that. The only problem with that is that real world range and rated range differ too greatly because of temperature, tires, terrain, etc. I get that I’m not going to get the same range in 70 degree weather vs. 30 degree weather.
The problem is this. They just replaced my battery. The rates range at 100% is lower than my previous rated range at 90%. That’s a problem.
Tesla service called me today after I sent an email to a couple of people and gave me the run around saying there is no “real” range for the car.
I recorded the conversation so I’ll link it when I can. It’s quite comical. The guy was clearly going off of a script because he lost his place once.
I told him where I received the information for the range of the 60 battery. I told him off Tesla’s website. He said that he wasn’t familiar (he said that) but any number on their website is an EPA number and not their number. So I asked what their number was and he said that he didn’t know/there isn’t one.
So I asked what number Tesla bases 70% of their original battery capacity for their current warranty. He said that he wasn’t aware of that warranty.
I can’t make this up. It’s unbelievable.
He then mentioned that the number I was seeing was based on my driving style. I told him that the battery had been in the car a day. It doesn’t know my driving style. He told me to wait six months to a year for the battery to really show a correct number.
I then posed the question that if I bought a new Tesla that was rated at a certain mileage and I got the car and the dash showed thirty to forty miles below that mileage would he see that as a problem?
he didn’t answer and started talking in circles.
I don’t expect the battery to say 208. But I don’t expect it to say 173. No one would.
and if it says 173 at 100% and my previous battery was higher than that at 90%, there is a problem.
He then said that he did a remote check and the battery was fine.
