I've read a few threads on this topic and it seems like the range displayed next to the battery icon in the car is based on the rated range not based on driving habits. For accurate range calculations based on my driving habits, I would need to look at the energy app in the car. During charging yesterday, I noticed that if I were to increase the slider to 100%, the range showed max of 295 miles. This was just to see the max range, I usually charge to 80%. I have a 2022 Model Y Performance with about 1000 miles and I thought the rated range was 303 miles. Is my battery degrading this quickly already? Any ideas what is going on?

Range displayed in the car is less then advertised

That's pretty close could be the temp. I would worry about it. You'll have the most degradation the first year then it will level off. I have a 2020 M3 LR think I'm at 350 or something when I slide it to 100. Max changes though based on the temp.
Tesla did not advertise anything other than the EPA estimate for combined City/Highway driving for the 2022 Tesla Performance Model Y. Ignore this estimate unless you are prepared to drive at under 50 MPH and not use the climate control system for heat or air conditioning.
Charge to 80% daily, 90% for longer trips. Use the Tesla Navigation System when traveling away from home. Stop at all suggested Supercharger locations, don't skip a charging stop. Use A Better Route Planner (ABRP) on your phone or on the web to plan out charging stops for longer trips. This is the way.

Tesla released a software update in 2021 so that the range estimate is now linked to the battery temperature. This winter it seemed to drop the battery effective state of charge or range by 3%, could be more depending on how low the temperature of the battery.
The maximum displayed range also changes a lot, even at the same temperature. The only good way to really get a good idea of range loss is to get an app that tracks this over many months, and then taking a look at the overall trend.
In either case, don't worry too much about it, and do what lots of folks recommend here -- switch it to % mode.

What the computer displays as rated range is an estimated calculation based on whack ass math. Every single li-ion battery is not going to be exactly the same so there are going to be minor variances in what you see as 100% charge. Normal. That’s why a lot of people display battery charge as a percentage instead of rated range because that number is reasonably useless.
The thing is, this isn't sugar in a measuring cup. Trying to figure out the amount of energy in a really large battery and also how much you would actually be able to get out of it is a very complicated estimation algorithm that isn't very exact. And you are talking about a difference of 8 rated miles units out of 303. That's less than 3% difference. That's already in the noise of the estimated calculation. It's just not going to be that exact. Anything in the 5-10 rated miles variation I wouldn't even give a thought to. That's also why I would not risk driving it down to those very last few rated miles above 0. I would not expect that very last bit to be that precise.

I've gone through two windshields already in less than 18 months... Damn gravel trucks... I stay way away from them, but it doesn't stop other cars behind them to launch them onto my car. Maybe my quick accelerations to get away from them is hurting my estimated range... Hmmm.
I believe the available, usable capacity, when new, was 77/78 kWh while the total capacity was 82 kWh.

Best way to see your actual range is to pull up the efficiency screen during your trip. Takes real time measurements on consumption.
