Hi there,
Let me start off by saying I love my 2021 Tesla Model 3 LR with 85k. A couple weeks ago a had a message on my screen that said, "maximum charge level and range may be reduced". It suggested I make a service appointment. I also noticed that overnight my maximum charge level and range was significantly reduced. Fast forward a week and I had my battery replaced with a refurbished battery all under warranty.
Here is my concern and questions.......
Prior to my battery replacement I could charge my car to 100% and it would give me about 335 miles. Of course I didn't do this often but I am using it as a reference. After my battery replacement if I charge my car to 100% I get 314 miles. I messaged my Tesla service rep about this and the response was, "it will take some tie for the new battery to calibrate and understand your driving habits, also it is normal to have a more conservative estimate range during colder months".
I feel like the service reps response was a line of BS but that is why I am here asking you all what you think. I feel like I got a battery that was not as good as the one I had in there before. Should I be concerned?
Thank you very much for all of your help.....
