Maybe @AlanSubie4Life can set me straight on some things... but here goes:
Given info:
If use the average Wh/mi*projected_range / batt_SOC from the energy screen... I get an estimated 100% pack at ~58kWh.
If I now add in the buffer (3.5kWh), I believe that should give me what the car thinks my current battery capacity is (58+3.5 = 61.5 kWh).
This would mean that my current degradation (I'm at about 10k miles) is around (1-61.5/63.8) or 3.6%, which seems expected. Since the car at new (and for the first ~6 mo of ownership) showed a range of 264 mi @100% - this should put my range right around 255 at 100%. However, in my display at 100% I see 245 mi.
If I use my 58 kWh number and the discharge constant (226 Wh/mi), I get a 100% range of 256 mi (seems to be consistent with my calculation in the previous paragraph).
If I use the charge constant (237 Wh/mi), I get 244, which is what I see in the display. However, this would imply that the buffer is not included in the range display. I was under the impression that Tesla included the the buffer in this range display (from @TimothyHW3). Could this be the case they changed it? Or am I doing something incorrectly here?
If it were the case the Tesla changed from including to NOT including the buffer in the range display, then maybe that could explain the recent confusion?
Given info:
- From new batt capacity of 63.8 kWh (per the Tesla EPA test)
- Buffer of 3.5 kWh
- Percent display does not include buffer (i.e., 100% = 60.3 kWh)
