Hi there,
I'm about 4 months in to my new 2023 Model X (non plaid). I previously had an Hyundai Ionic 5, and we also have the Cadillac Lyric in the family, so I'm not totally new to EV's just Tesla. I bought the X with one of the large reasons being the range, coupled with faster and more reliable charging over the Caddy/Ionic. What I've been finding is that my range seems terribly lower than what I was hoping to get. At first I didn't understand the watt/mile as I'd gotten used to mile/KW (what the Ionic display showed), but I'm getting used to it, and now I understand the math behind it etc... Here's my issue. The math isn't adding up for me. Please help me make sense of this, or let me know why I'm wrong
If the battery is 98-100KWH, and let's say I'm averaging 300watts/mile on the current change. Then (we use 98 to be conservative) 98KW*1000 = 98,000 watts. 98,000/300 = 326 miles of range. Is that correct? And if so, that's just math, it already takes things like speed, climate, hills etc.. into account bc that's baked into my 300w/mi average.
My current drive is this: fully charged to 100%. I've driven 235 miles at an average 288Wh/Mile. I've used 68kWh of energy and I have 11% battery left.
So 235/89 = X/100 = 235*100/89=X ... X = 264 miles of total range on this charge. Which seems normal, until you calculate for my 288Wh/Mil average.
Also, I've used 68kWh of energy and I've got 11% remaining. I haven't done the math on that, but if I fully drain down to 0%, it isn't going to be anywhere near 98kW.. it'll be more like 80Kw...
So what gives? Did I get some random smaller battery, is my display just completely calculating wrong? I've called Tesla 3 times about this, and they don't care about the math, they just say that my range is in the acceptable amount....
Love to hear what people who know more than me have to say!!!
Thanks
Justin
