The Model 3 doesn't have this option. It always displays the EPA rated range.Look and see if you have your settings set to ideal or rated milage
The battery is always degrading, but it shouldn't be noticeable at this point. My guess is that you need to look at your settings.
- What have you set the charging limit to?
- What happens if you change the range display from miles to percent?
How long between when the charge completed and when you got into the car? If it was several hours then the 7 miles lost are high but not outside the range of reported idle losses.
This is 'normal' and inconsistent day to day for Model 3. This is NOT degradation - this is 'vampire' loss. Really nothing to worry about from battery degradation or quality issues - if anything, seems related to software version
With my Model S I have my charging scheduled to start at 12 midnight. It is usually done by 1:30am. And when I get in my car the next day I loose maybe 1 or 2 miles. I believe I would loose more if not plugged in. It will not start charging again until 12 midnight next day because of the schedule.I see. So I will still get vampire drain even if the car is still plugged in and reached charge completion? It doesnt reactivate charging?
If I go on vacation and leave car at airport parking, i can potentially come back with a problem?
Then this is on the higher end of normal and just something to keep an eye on.I just installed 240v outlet yesterday. So about 7 hours from charge complete to getting in ththe car.

Yes, you can. Make sure you have enough charge to account for expected vampire drain, and some extra in case it gets hot/cold while you're gone. Plus of course enough to get you home/to a charging station. Really, it's best to just get in there with a pretty full charge if at all possible (just not topped up to 100% because you don't want it sitting topped up to full).If I go on vacation and leave car at airport parking, i can potentially come back with a problem?

My tesla app shows charge complete at 281mi. As soon as I get into the car it shows 274mi. Is this normal? Ive had the car for about a week, is the battery degrading already?
To be clear, your battery is not degrading but you are experiencing higher than normal vampire losses. Again, I'd keep an eye on it for a bit. If it continues to lose charge consistently at this rate for a week or two I'd contact Tesla.

Teslas have two low power modes - "idle" and "sleep". When idle many internal systems are awake and consuming power, about 1 mile of range per hour. This is the mode the car is in shortly after you get out of the car after a drive or a charge completes. After a period of inactivity it should go into sleep mode which has much lower power requirements - 2-4 miles per DAY.
Whenever you use the app to check on the car it will wake it up to get you the stats about the current range, cabin temperature, etc. The car also will tend to toggle between idle and sleep based on circumstances that are not obvious to the end user. Tesla may occasionally wake it up to collect Autopilot data or update the software in the car. In my experience these "random" wake-ups tend to happen for 1-3 hours per day. The amount of time spent sleeping vs idling can vary day-to-day and owners have reported that different firmware versions have been better or worse in terms of how much the car sleeps.
7 hours of range loss in 7 hours would suggest that the car never went to sleep after charging.
