Thanks for the info I appreciate itThe estimate is just that, an estimate. It is based on your driving habits, environment, etc. Don't sweat it. Some days my LR (I know it's not an LFP) gets 354, some days it's 360's.

oops Fresno just came to mind, thanks for the correction on that. Just overall really happy with the car so as a new owner Im just noticing every little thing.The variation is normal and expected. That's why Tesla guarantees 70% capacity to ease your anxiety.
By the way, it's Fremont near San Francisco metropolitan and not Fresno where the farming in Central Valley is.
Then I was convinced . The batt losts about 8-9%.
Then I don't

You have about a 6% degradation so looks normal. Did the Service Center tell you why you got that error?Hello to all, I'm looking for some clarification on the battery range of my car. (Side note I live in Arizona)
I have a Model 3 STR+ that I have been driving since Late December 12/20. I typically drive 40-60 Miles a day for commute to work plus whatever else I end up doing this is a good estimate. My first year I did not use my mobile charger because I had 0 knowledge about the effects of constantly supercharging. Almost every 1-2 days I would supercharge my car to about 80%.
Around August 2021 I received an error on my screen: Maximum battery charge level reduced/unable to charge battery to 100% (I am not sure what the error code was)
I then created a service appointment where they did this: Correction: HV Battery (Dual Motor) (Remove & Replace).
This all was covered by my Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty. Once this happened I was given a loaner for about a week which was pretty nice.
Eventually I was given back my car and I began super charging for like a month. Then I figured I can just try out the mobile charger because I did not want to go through the trouble of installing a wall charger.
I do not supercharge unless I go on trips now. I did go on a trip this weekend to LA and super charged about 5 times total there & back. I used the navigation on the tesla screen so It would tell me which supercharges to hit along the way.
Now that I am back I decided to take a look at my battery life and see how it's keeping up & I want to know if there's anything I should do.
My 90% Charge range is about 223 Miles. I believe my car is supposed to be capable of about 263 Miles.
So considering 90% of 263 is about 236 Miles.
This means I have about 13-15 Miles of degradation? Is there anything I should do to try to recover range?
I currently only use my mobile charger and top off my battery at night to 90%.
Currently at about 28k Miles.
Thanks for the help!
Is the miles status in the car actual miles or an energy thing?
Well, if this were the case...It’s important that the BMS estimate be within a few % of the actual value, otherwise it risks stranding you due to thinking it can make a trip when it cannot.
...then this makes absolutely no sense. Does anyone consistently get 210-220 Wh/mi on road trips? The number it uses should be extremely conservative, something like 300 Wh/mi.For a Model 3 2022 AWD, the energy per displayed rated mile is probably around 210Wh, (corresponding to 220Wh/rmi rated, 79kWh/358rmi), but this value can extremely easily be cross-checked by an owner (I haven’t seen the value calculated, and am using knowledge from the 2021, so this may not be exactly right).
It uses the results of the EPA test which is what they are required to advertise on the Monroney sticker. Which isn't based on high speed highway driving.Well, if this were the case...

My M3P did get a 315 mile range on the EPA test.Well, if this were the case...

The in-car range estimate is not required to use the same result displayed on the sticker AFAIK. Nor are car manufacturers prohibited from publishing a 2 dimensional range chart with speed on the x-axis and range on the y-axis.It uses the results of the EPA test which is what they are required to advertise on the Monroney sticker. Which isn't based on high speed highway driving.
Hello AAKEE, in your graph of battery degradation...are any of these actual Tesla batteries? And if they are..are they still connected to the Tesla BMS?The self discharge from a lithium battery is very low. This means that when the battery disconnect itself by the contactors (as it also does during a sleep) the drain of the battery is very slow.
Tesla warns about the low voltage battery can be damaged, because it will discharge quite quickly when not charged. Lead acid batteries wear bad from discharging too much and I think some 50% SOC is the safe level for these.
So the lithium battery in a Tesla that shut down is safe for some further time(quite long time). I would not recommend trying to find the time though.
For calendar aging, lithium batteries is better of the lower the SOC is down to zero %. Note, that this is discharged to the safe level, 0% SOC but still within the minimum voltage level. From this they are left in that state for about a month or two in the research tests, then a few cycles and discharge is performed to find the capacity and after that they are charged or discharged to the SOC they use in the test.
In this test the battery cells is left as the test SOC( 0% for the 0% points) for two to three months without getting damaged, they actually have the least degradation despite 2-3 months a time at 0% SOC, and 10 months in total.

This picture show the calendar aging for NCA, NMC and LFP cells. While it is a recent test, and other tests show the same, we actually do not have data on the absolute newest battery cells. But as the basic chemistry do not change very much for each type we can use these results as a base for understanding the degradation frm time on these battery types. In some cases the newest cells might have slightly reduced (or increased) cyclic aging or calendar aging.
For LFP there is a need to charge full to reset the BMS energy counter on a regular basis. LFP has very flat voltage curve and the BMS counter of the actual remaining stored energy might drift and in the worst case you find yourself stranded when the battery goes empty despite the BMS did think there still was plenty left.
LFP suffer from calendar aging but as you can see the calendar aging is not that bad at 100% for specially shorter periods.
We can expect LFP cars to have slighty less degradation for the same use, just to give a number about half compared to LR and P cars. This because calendar aging is the dominant degradation factor for both types.
This is actually also possible to see in teslalogger.de/degradation. The LFP versions seem to loose about half the range per driven miles/km. In reality the calendar aging comes per time and not km/mile but there is no such graphs.
Its also a bit early to say for sure as LFP has not been around in Teslas for that long, but the facts we have from research points in that direction.
My last post on this thread was in February/March (I think).
I was a bit warried and not happy because of the NFP displayed by SMT.
Battery is a 82.1kWh Panasonic E3DL on my Model 3 Performance 2021 (march) .
In February it was low to 73,9 kWh and it stayed to 74/73,9 for a full month ( or 5 weeks).
Tried to discharge to 0% , tried to go 100% , I tried to "move " a bit my routine ( 20% to 55% and let it sleep under 55%).
Nothing ... the 82,1 kWh battery (actual never showed more than 79,6) it was stabilized to 74 kWh.
Then I was convinced . The batt losts about 8-9%.
Then I don't

Hello AAKEE, in your graph of battery degradation...are any of these actual Tesla batteries? And if they are..are they still connected to the Tesla BMS?
I understand that it’s only the chemistry that you are explaining...but I was just curious if Tesla’s engineering can out perform the chemistry
In this paper, two studies on calendar aging of lithium-ion batteries are evaluated. In these experimental studies, commercial high-energy cells of type Panasonic NCR18650PD were examined. The cells of 18650 format had a capacity of ca. 2.8 Ah and featured an NCA cathode and a graphite anode. Both studies examined the same cell type, but the respective cells were from different production lots. The lot examined in the first study was produced ca. 6 months earlier than the lot examined in the second study.
The in-car range estimate is not required to use the same result displayed on the sticker AFAIK. Nor are car manufacturers prohibited from publishing a 2 dimensional range chart with speed on the x-axis and range on the y-axis.
The real range is shown at the energy app, and that one is good on estimating the actual range from the average of the last 10/30/50 km (and equivalent for miles).The EPA test is just a minimum set of requirements for a sticker. If they want to make sure people don't get stranded, they can either give a more conservative estimate or a 2 dimensional chart.
OK I am 2000 miles into my M3LR and LOVING IT! I cannot make heads or tails of the energy widget (not sure why it breaks down into 5, 15 and 30 mile increments or what it means)
Hopefully you set a “trip” counter to zero when the car was new as this is the only real way to know the answer. If not, set one now.My wh/mi over 2k miles is 251. I believe
80500 Wh / 315 = 255.6 Wh/mile.
80500 Wh / 315 = 255.6 Wh/mile.
This is the energy content in each mile on the range on the screen.
Yes typo my bad. Just not sure if motor is 82 or 75 kwh as I've seen both on the Internet.The result is correct if your battery really is 82 kWh. I'm not sure of the actual usable capacity of the M3.
Note: I am assuming 10000 was a typo and you meant 1000. (1000/251)*82 = 326.
