The battery meter value has nothing to do with your driving habits or history. It displays the EPA rated range if you have it set to miles, or you could set it to percent of charge.
On road trips over the past 4-5 months, I've developed a few useful habits w/r/t range:This is the correct answer.
On road trips over the past 4-5 months, I've developed a few useful habits w/r/t range:
- I take the stated range ("305 miles") and use 80% of that for realistic, stressless purposes.
- I use nav, which does predict the % of battery that will be available when I arrive at the next SC/destination. I have found this to be really accurate, and really responsive to changes in speed in ~real-time.
These two things work in concert to help me confidently road trip with no range anxiety.
FWIW, on a recent trip I drove through major afternoon summer downpours in Florida and while I had thought reduced speed (for safety) would offset increased drag from water on the road, but this was not the case. It felt like I lost between 10-20% of range in that situation. Something to bear in mind when the phone app tells you that you have enough electrons to continue on your trip...how's the weather forecast?!

80% charge will be about 400 km now. It will drop a few km as the car ages. It’s not possible for 80% charge to show 376 km. Perhaps your slider wasn’t set at exactly 80%.Does this mean, if I charge at 80% every night then range should show at 400 KMs.
But actual mileage depends on weather and usage.
However I have seen that 80% charge shows different number ( 400 to 376).
Thanks. Let me check the slider80% charge will be about 400 km now. It will drop a few km as the car ages. It’s not possible for 80% charge to show 376 km. Perhaps your slider wasn’t set at exactly 80%.
Could you elaborate? I thought the 3 had a trip planner like the S/X.I miss the trip function we have on the S for road trips. Hopefully an update will bring this to the 3.
Ah for the three yeah we are missing the line. But it still does show percentage of battery at each SC stop and destination. Personally I would like the consumption screen on the 3.Only partially, not the graphical power usage curve. I use it all the time to determine when to leave superchargers and for how quick/slow I can go on my way to the next SC.
Reduced speed, unless it's a lot, say 50%, doesn't reduce the energy used pumping all that water though the tread grooves to match Rated Range. The trip graph is your friend when adverse weather happens. Unfortunately, the trip graph is not yet implemented in the Model 3.FWIW, on a recent trip I drove through major afternoon summer downpours in Florida and while I had thought reduced speed (for safety) would offset increased drag from water on the road, but this was not the case.

This thread is surprising to me. I had assumed that the car would update your range based upon your driving. Seems like an important feature especially given the nature of the vehicle and limited charging options (relative to a gas vehicle). I sure hope this is a feature Tesla plans to add in the near future. All the vehicles I've purchased in the last decade have estimated range based upon driving.
