I’ve had my 2016 90D Model X for about 1.5 years. Used to have a Model S before this and it used to be honest about the rated range vs what you’d actually get.
Drove 132.5 miles at an average speed of 53mph. Flat Florida back country roads. Outside temperature 80. Only using front AC set to 70. Average per the car 380 wh/mi. Suspension set to low (I always drive in low). Tires all at 48psi. Left the house at 182 miles and only 19 miles left on the battery at arrival.
I don’t understand how much more ideal the conditions could be and it still doesn’t get rated range. Is there anything else I can do to maximise range? I used to have the 22 inch wheels and I got the 20 inch wheels for the range. That brought me down from the 400s but I feel like I should be able to get rated range at 50-55mph! I’m just so frustrated by this vehicle. I would have sold it by now but unfortunately I tow my boat once a month.
