That is why I suggest you measure on a longer trip. Sitting in traffic with AC or heat on can really skew your calculations.

Regen set to low. Going to try and use standard mode for this to see if it helps.
I do not have the Summon feature, or at least don't see that on the Control screen. I did not opt of the $8k Full Self Driving Capabilities, which I think includes the Summon feature.
Thanks,

This is a common concern by owners that check miles achieved vs. miles estimated.
Usually find the they have something turned on like security cameras, automated interior cooling, or are not realizing your car uses some juice just sitting in the garage. They don't realize it uses additional juice when cooling or heating a car multiple times with short trips between.
All sorts of thing effect battery efficiency.
If you really want to "test" your consumption, take one longish trip with reasonable speeds (55) and use cruise control as much as possible. This is the condition that EPA ratings are calculated.
Doing lots of short trips, and adding up all the miles used will most always result in more juice being used than the gauge indicates.
After a while, new owners quit obsessing about these thinga and learn to just enjoy the ride.
Here's a snapshot of my last 13 miles drive using the 15 mile range energy graph.
Trip was 6.5 miles one way (13 round trip) with abot 3.5 of it on a highway never exceeding 60 mph. A/C set to 72 with fan speed on 5
Regen on standard All other functions such as sentry and overheat turned off.
Started w/ 143 on the battery gauge and ended w/ 122 miles on the battery read out. Lost 21 miles on the battery for a 13 mile trip, which is a little better than what I was averaging. I did sit in traffic with about 2 miles left on the trip. View attachment 584489 .
Can anyone help me and determine what it going on here?
The entire trip I'm well above the ideal Wh/mi of 260.
You really need regen on standard . why did you set it to low?
Your Wh/mi of 448 is insanely high. If your driving style isn't crazy, I do wonder/worry if something in your car is not right. Maybe something is on that is consuming a lot of energy? Maybe something is faulty and abnormally using higher than normal energy? Maybe regen braking is faulty and it isn't regenning for you?
I dunno, but it seems like you're onto something. Overall, the Wh/mi on that screenshot is def above avg.
Do you have a friend that has a Tesla? Maybe have your friend drive your car and you drive his/her's and compare.
I don't really like how the vehicle drives when on standard regen, but will do it if it helps with the range. I just did a 13 mile trip w/ regen on standard and no change to the efficiency.
Battery consumption is still too excessive even for driving with regen on low. I don't think I should be losing 48% of the battery's range b/c the regen is set on low.
Do you?

Good suggestion, unfortunately I'm not close to anyone that owns any model Tesla.
I'm going to use the vehicle as little as possible and wait and see what the service center says next week.
I am having exactly the same problem with my Model Y 2021. The battery is functioning at about 50 percent. This problem just started - I have only 11,000 miles on my car.I have been tracking my odometer mileage vs. what the range on the battery gauge displays for the past 2 full charges.
I have set the battery to stop charging at 80% as recommended. This gives me 256mi based on the battery gauge..
I traveled 99mi based on the odometer reading, yet the battery gauge shows just 69mi left, meaning based on the battery gauge, I traveled 187mi. Under 2k total miles on the vehicle.
A/C is turned off and fan set to "1" after each use, sentry turned off and overheat set to off. My travel of 99 miles is from several short trips w/ none more than 20 miles round trip on roads mainly w/ 25-45mph speed limits- local driving only.
Tesla tech did a history check and claims my vehicle is, to use their words, "operating without fault" and says my Wh/mi is 379 and needs to be at 260 Wh/mi for max driving range. Tesla also suggested, I don't charge until 20% is left on the battery gauge.
I don't drive aggressively and usually keep to the speed limit -maybe 5mph over. I don't think I've gone more than 65mph on my limited travel on a highway. No hills as I live in flat FL. I drive with the a/c set to 72 and turn it on every time I get in. Car is garaged and out of the sun. The foul stinky socks smell each time I start the a/c is a whole different issue.
Has anyone else had this much battery drain? If so, how was is corrected? How did Tesla handle the issue?
Right now, Tesla is saying nothing is wrong with the vehicle, Based on the numbers, I say they're wrong, but don't know where to go to complain and/or get it corrected.
Sorry for the long post- just extremely frustrated with the vehicle's performance and Tesla's (lack of) response
Any help and suggestions is greatly appreciated
What did Tesla say? Do you own the "Performance" edition or "long-range"? If you own the Performance, I found that you need to have the vehicle in "chill" mode. Even in chill mode, battery range is far short.I am having exactly the same problem with my Model Y 2021. The battery is functioning at about 50 percent.

First thing change from miles to percent charge if you haven't already. And have you tracked range on any longer trips? Say 100 to 200 miles on one charge?What did Tesla say?
