New Tesla Owner, battery range lower than expected

[darkNstormy]

its not really an exact number such that charge to 80% and you will be fine, charge to 81% and it falls off a cliff

You can't charge to 81%, it's not allowed! In much the same way that volume (in cars that display it as a number) has to be either an even number or divisible by 5.

I charged to 87 the other day just to be reckless, have some of them apples !

It's why in the tesla battery screen it allows you to set a charge limit and suggests a range for "daily" and the upper end (80-100%) as "Trip". I use sparingly.

Our trip is 90%-100% although it is a value passed around the API data so theoretically can vary between vehicles

agreed. My daily is up to 90% and anything more is trip.

You're worse than an animal.

I bet you set the TV volume to an odd number too?

I feel sick now!
