Tesla Motors Club

Had my Model Y for six weeks. I've mostly been a good boy and not charged past 80% and rarely at superchargers. I've also not let it get below 20% except once. But I'm curious and want to learn, so charged to 100% three times at home and six times at superchargers.

The car started off showing 316 miles of range (official amount). My final big test I supercharged from 5% to 100%, after which the rated range showed 309 miles.

Did I squander 7 miles (2%) of my new car's range because I maxed out the battery 9 times?

Is it really that sensitive to supercharging at the high and low ends? Or was the 316 never real to begin with (my initial 100% charges hit 316 again, and later ones hit 313, etc)

Anyway, we supposedly got a 10 mile range boost tonight and I'm afraid to test it because I'll ruin as much as I gained by going to 100%.
