Hello,
I have been observing a steady 'drop' in my 2018 Model3 (LR) battery charging numbers since past more than six months.
I always keep the battery at 80% charging capacity, only when I plan to travel for vacation I put it to 100% charging, don't take that many long distance breaks.
Around 2021 summer it used to charge up to 280+ miles, but, during winter season I have observed the battery hasn't been charging to 280 miles, it's been dropping steadily, now I am seeing that it's only charging around 220 miles or less (still keep it at 80% charging). I was thinking it must have been due to winters, but its the same now too.
I always keep my car plugged (in garage) once I come home from work in the evening and it remains plugged till I leave the next day, it's the same during weekends too.
My question, is it a normal battery degradation for Model-3 car from past three and half years or should I be concerned and open a ticket with Tesla?
Thanks!!
