After reading several post on model 3s reporting premature battery degradation I thought I would calculate it for my model X.
My X is three months old and has about 2,500 miles on her. My goal is to get a feel for my current battery degradation and keep an eye on it over time. Based on what I have read on the forum I came up with a 1.01% degradation level.
Here's my logic:
My car's target EPA range at 100% charge is 325 miles. So if I charge my battery to 90% my vehicle's range (on the dashboard's fuel gauge) should read 325 X .90 = 292.5. But instead it reads 290.58 that is a decrease of 1.01%. So that is what I'm calling my 1.01% degradation value.
For the programers out there here is a screen shot of my function to calculate this:
Is this inline with how others calculate degradation? Is it this simple??
