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
