Hello. I have a 2020 Performance 3 which I took delivery of 12/30/19. I have concerns about the battery that I'm hoping some experienced folks on this forum may be able to address.
I realize that SOC is much more important than displayed range. However, in all the threads I've read, I have not come across anyone stating that their very first full charge (to 100% SOC) only brought it to a displayed range of 294 miles. I then repeated this about a week later (ensuring that everything was off to include sentry mode), and again got just 295 miles.
As possibly a related issue, I am only getting about 80% of efficiency out of the battery (meaning a total range of only about 250 miles) when driving on autopilot (typically around 60-65 mph), with no A/C, and only thing on is the fan on the lowest setting. However, the outside temperature is around 55 F degrees. When the outside temp finally hit about 68 degrees, I was able to get 100% efficiency (e.g., I drove 60 actual miles and observed a 60 mile drop in the displayed range).
A few questions:
1. Is my car showing displayed range of only 295 miles (at 100% SOC) because the car is taking into account that it is only 55 degrees outside, and in a few months, when I wake up to 68 degree temps, should a full charge then give a displayed range closer to 310?
2. Is my 80% efficiency in 55 degrees normal?
3. Do you think I should have the battery inspected by Tesla?
Thank you.
