    I recently followed a discussion (about a guy in Florida that claimed to be getting significantly less range) that I can't now find, so I thought I might post a recent video on YouTube to address some of the issues/problems that the OP was having.

    The most common reason for lower than expected range in your Tesla vehicle (or any EV) is leadfoot.

    This guy is very charismatic and engaging, but it looks like he is doing his video editing on a VCR.

    drive like my grandma on my father's side - aka a hazard to everyone else on the road. I seriously thought I was going to die in a crash when I was younger... cars would fly by on the highway!

    yeah, he misses the obvious "elephant in the room", stop whining about your range when it is 3-4x your daily driving needs.

    He misinterprets "short trips will decrease your range" as "don't take short trips".
