Hello everyone -
My Y is almost a year old, has less than 10K miles and I have always charged to 90%.
For the first 7-8 months of ownership, my range was always 285 miles after overnight charging. About two months ago, that dropped to 265 and a week or so ago it dropped to 255.
Local Tesla service (Northern Virginia) told me that this range was "within the acceptable range for my fleet" (which I assume to be 3s and Ys with similar batteries). I got on the phone with a service rep and said "that's all you got for me?" and he essentially said "yes". He suggested my driving habits may have changed (they did not) and that cold weather might have something to do with it (it didn't last winter).
My theory is that software upgrades are modifying the way the range is calculated and the number is actually more accurate than the old one that I got. I said this to the service guy and he said his department didn't know if that was the case or not. He did say they ran all the diagnostic software on my car remotely and all the physical components check out.
Has anyone else experienced this over the last 3-4 months? Any thoughts/evidence/insights for what's going on? Thanks much!
