Hi all, first post on this site. I searched around for a similar question and didn't find an answer so sorry if I missed something and feel free to point me in the right direction.
I have a model s 75d that I bought national the end of August. It has about 7000 miles on it. I drive about 50 miles a day and supercharge maybe once a month when I'm doing a longer road trip. I also charged every night up to 80 to 90% and time it so usually finishes charging when I'm about to drive in the morning.
So, I noticed about two months ago that when I fully charge instead of getting 259 rated miles, i max out somewhere between 235 and 245. Even when I charge to 90%, that number has slowly been dropping. I read on some pages the idea of running the battery low and then bring it back up and did that twice with no real change in total mileage. I've been talking to Tesla service and they are saying this is in the normal range of degradation, which would mean at 2:45 that's 5.4% in six months. They also told me that the battery in the first 6 months will lose quite a bit of range and then settle out at a lower number. They ran diagnostics on the battery and said everything is checked out. Anyway, from what I can tell from other people's experience on this forum and others, most people don't really lose that much percentage for a few years. In general I am not someone to worry about the battery but the drop seemed suddensand significant. Anyway, just checking to see if this is abnormal or common experience, thanks guys!

the slower the better, let the BMS do its job you wont get all the rated range back but it will make a diffrence
