Tesla Motors Club
I took a long trip today, taking the car from 100% full to 11% before charging.
As I watched the trip counter and the percentage charge remaining I got to doing the maths in my head and if the percentage is close to accurate and the kWh on the trip counter is too I have a capacity of approximately 63-64 kWh depending on rounding errors on a two year old Model S 75.
My googling suggests a 75 should have about 72kWh usable and I'm way under that.
My Wh/Mi seems to match it as I did 289Wh/Mi and got about 220 miles from the car, Calculates out to 63.6 kWh.
Has anyone else done this test, do you know what capacity your car actually has?
I'm trying to work out how to ask Tesla this question as all that text doesn't fit in the app
(If you want to test, fill your car to 100% full and drive a decent distance (100 miles) and not the kWh used and the percentage of charge remaining. Divide the kWh by (1-Percentage remaining)
I was 35.4 kWh used 44% remaining (0.44) so 35.4/(1-0.44) = 63.2 if someone wants to check my maths)
