Great point! I forgot we had that info! It does indeed imply 210Wh/mi for the charging constant.
This means my table is wrong for the SR (2019) (EDIT: Note this is an SR 2020, which is not in my table - so the table is actually correct for SR2019), but I'm not surprised by that - the 2019 SR vehicles precede the constant change for the SR+. For sure those older vehicles had this energy graph show 219Wh/rmi (not 210Wh/rmi). That is without a doubt (documented elsewhere here). (I guess technically we never had a picture from the SR, but we had the energy graph pictures from the SR+. As I said, data on these vehicles is rare, so it has always been a confusing situation.)
HOWEVER, interesting what this implies -> the SR at one point
did have 220 miles of rated range with a constant of 219Wh/rmi. 48kWh of energy, compared to 50kWh extracted by Tesla in the EPA test - very much in agreement.
Now that the constant is 210, that means the un-degraded range would have been: 220rmi(old)*219Wh/rmi(new) /210Wh/rmi(new) = 229rmi (new).
EDIT: Looks to me like 2019 SR had 220 rated miles, constant 219Wh/rmi, while the 2020 SR had 229 rated miles, constant 210Wh/rmi (see below for a more confusing possibility).
So that means he actually has:
206rmi (new) / 229rmi (old) => 10.1% loss of capacity.
All makes sense now. Also all his pictures above make sense.
I agree he likely has only: 206rmi*210Wh/rmi*0.955*0.99 = 41kWh available to be extracted (not including the buffer).
As compared to 45.6kWh when new (229rmi*210Wh/rmi*0.955*0.99 - or 220rmi*219Wh/rmi*0.955*0.99).
Still, a relatively normal (somewhat high, but within the normal distribution - probably 2.5-3 sigma or so) capacity loss. Something like 1st to 5th percentile I would guess.
Seems like I need to add a line to my table for the SR 2020 (I did not know it existed!).
Thanks for the reminder about this. I'm rusty! Forgot that this is the easy way to get the constant...
EDIT:
For
@supraphonic - what was your rated miles when new?
If it was 220 rated miles, that's hard to square with all of this. It is possible for them to use a lower constant and still show 220 rated miles, but they have to do some initial energy inflation of each rated mile to hide the "extra" capacity (so effectively when new the constant is much higher). Note this is my own theory and we have no evidence of it (it's hard to get a hold of).
It wouldn't change the capacity loss though (yes, confusing - the initial energy inflation of rated miles on new vehicles IS confusing). It's almost certainly about 10% for
@supraphonic.
