Are you looking for answers or to just vent frustration?Anyone?? Still waiting for any review to show they got under 200 miles as well.
thats not how charging works. please read our responses or other threads about this.The Model S right by me was getting 450+ still..
I have 2 friends with new MY long range.
They are disappointed in range they have.
2 stops are must in cold weather for 300 miles trip.
Plus charge at their destination.
My friends are not experts but are telling me they are not going to use Tesla for long trips with their kids.
Driving around city is fine and fun.
That`s why i`m waiting for new battery, at least 380 miles of range so i can say i spent $60k on car i can use for long road trips.
Tesla is still leading car market when it comes to battery technology, but still not enough to justify $60k spent
Everyone says I didn't do my research.. I'm pretty damn certain not many knew you couldn't do a 175 mile trip in 40 degree weather on a "full charge". If you say you did, I bet you're lying
Amazing how much info is there if folks just read the manual!This is not true and I don’t understand why people keep saying this. It clearly states in the manual
“The displayed range may decrease faster than the actual distance driven. When fully charged, the driving range displayed in Tesla vehicles is based on EPA certification and does not account for your personal driving patterns or external conditions. To view estimated range based on energy consumption, open the Energy app to display the graph.”
There are lots of threads here with similar anecdotal data as yours. And I’m not giving you a link because you can search just as well as I can. And BTW, the rating given the MY is NOT Tesla’s rating but the EPA’s. So write to them to complain.Everyone says I didn't do my research..

I didn't think 275 miles was 100% accurate, I sure as hell thought 175 miles wouldn't be an issue.. Also, 40 degrees in IL isn't that cold.. I'm very concerned what it will be like under 10 degrees.. All in all it was a complete fail, from going only 160 miles on a "full" charge that was 300+ plus orignally, and now is down to 274 which I still don't know why since i've gotten 2 different answers on that.. To the slow supercharging speed that still doesn't make any sense since after driving 2 hours i'm sure the battery was preconditioned enough to go at max speed. No idea how anyone would ever make a 15+ hour trip in these if it was 40 degrees or less.. It would literally tack on 4+ hours i'm sure.Did you look at the route on ABRP or other tool to calculate if you would need to charge? If you were planning to run at 75 mph, I bet it would have told you when you were likely to need a charge, and likely would have recommended a charge stop.
Did you look at the trip power graph during the drive? Did it predict you would make it, then you fell below the target line to make it?
Realistically, if you have a 275 mile range, you won't expect to go 275 miles between charge. Not even in an ICE will you plan to pull into a gas station on E.
In 40 degree weather, were you running the heater at all? Any drain on electric will reduce range, so not only the colder weather impacting the battery, but also other items using power.
While I understand it may be disappointing to have to charge on a 175 mile trip, it should not be a complete surprise if you checked available resources prior to the trip.
