Hi, is anyone else struggling with inaccuracy of the "range" shown on the dash? I have found it to be 35%-50% low on my Tesla X75 D after 3 months of driving it. Usually, I am in stop and go city traffic, which I understand would take more battery than freeway driving.
However, today I drove 90 miles, and it took 130 miles of the 170 miles of range the car said I had, which made for a very stressful last few miles. The SC said that there is nothing wrong with my battery, but that things like using the radio and climate control requires extra battery and depletes the range. Excuse me? The car battery was designed to use without climate control?
Is this problem of range estimation just with my car, or is it normal to be 35-50% off?
