How much range do we lose monthly? 2-3 miles lost in 1200 miles

[GodsPeace]

When I got the car it said 273 max, but I know it's officially 272. When I used my 500 free fast charging miles it went from 273 to 272 on the first charge. Then after a couple more times it was 271, then just now max is 270. I have 1197 miles on the care now. Is this because the fast charger is hard on the battery? It charges fast but really slows down after 80%. Should I drive it closer to 10% charge then charge at home where it charges slower? I realize the stated range at the top of the screen isn't really accurate so maybe it just recalibrates reality at the fast charger.

Start doing some reading. This is all very very normal. You will lose range more quickly in the first year / several thousand miles. Then it slows down.

The answer to the question posted in your thread title, is:

"Plan to lose somewhere between 6-10% of the vehicles rated range the first 12-18 months you own it. Plan for it to slow down after that".

For more than that, I will point you to either the General range thread:

Range Loss Over Time, What Can Be Expected, Efficiency, How to Maintain Battery Health

i bought my model 3 in aug 2018. After the software upgrade I only got 316 miles when charged to 100%. Last night I got only 312 miles from 5% SOC to 100%. A 4% degradation within 10 months? Have others degraded similarly?

Or the SR+ range thread:

Model 3 SR+ LFP Battery Range, Degradation, etc Discussion

Now that LFP batteries have been operating for a couple months in the US, I thought it would be useful to start a thread for people to post their experiences with degradation of LFP batteries. A major benefit of these batteries is supposed to be resistant to degradation, so let's test that claim...

or, you can search TMC for the word "range" in this subforum and likely find one of likely 100s of threads here on range that you can deep dive into if you want to.

"Plan to lose somewhere between 6-10% of the vehicles rated range the first 12-18 months you own it. Plan for it to slow down after that".

The reports of those with LFP battery cars suggest that it is more commonly 4-5% in the first 12-18 months, with not too much variation based on driving and charging habits.
