First time Tesla 3 owner here… trip question

[colombianog37]

Hello all,

I own a 2020 Tesla 3 performance and I was under the impression that the range on it was 315 miles. At 100%. It only gives me 252 miles so I am a little confused. It does have a the 20 inch rims and low profile tires. Am I missing something here?

2021-newer Performances are rated at 315; 2020 Performance was rated at 299.

All that matters is what you see when you drive the way you drive (speed, accel, settings (temp, mode, etc)). Don't get hung up on 'factory' estimates.

You're going to lose some efficiency as the battery ages. Same with ICE cars. My C4 doesn't get anywhere near factory mileage either.

You're at 80% which may be a little below average but not in the 'broken' range.

Trust the nav planning and you'll be fine.

Speed and, probably, cooler weather is the likely issue.
The EPA range test doesn't go faster than 60 mph. You, most likely, drive a lot faster. Then, with heat on in cool weather, that's going to eat range as well.

I would forget about the official range. The chart does a pretty good job on estimating your % remaining at arrival, along with a trend if the trip is long.

The worst I've even experienced is around 50% of quoted range, because either the weather was -13F or I was driving way too fast.

If you really want to try to get the max range, try to drive around 40mph on a luke warm cloudy day while the car is still quite new. I'm pretty sure you'll get the quoted range, as I have.
