It's me again. Model 3 SR+. I had been charging to 80%. A Tesla technician told me I should go ahead and start charging to 90%, and just not charge it every night at home----let it go a few days.
So I did. Using 77% of my battery, down to 13%, I went only 135 miles, over about 3 days. That is a computed range of only 175 miles. So here is my question. If my car is supposed to have a range of 240 miles---where did the other 60 miles go?
(Before you say, how cold was it, how hot was it, how fast were you driving, were you running the air, all the things that regular drivers do---by the way)---we are talking about a more than 25% range loss. How can that be? Where did it go?
I love my car. I love Tesla. And i have read the manual. So please don't flame me. Just some constructive answers please, from a guy who is still learning about his car.
Thanks
