What's your 90%?

2013 P85
90% was 230 rated miles in February
90% 188 rated miles as of yesterday.

Tesla Service says it took a full charge yesterday of 215, but it doesn't appear to be anywhere close to the 257 I was getting in May.

Currently in the shop to have them look at the almost 20% reduction.
So far I haven't seen a single 70 log this low much less a 85. Anyone see any "properly functioning" battery with logs this low?

My 2013 S85 (A-pack) with about 65,000 miles gets around 218 rated Miles @ 90% I'm getting about 246 @ 100%. It got 265 @ 100% when new.

My P85 sig is pretty much identical; 100% charge is ~238-240, 90% ~216. Only 26k miles, but 2012 and an A pack. Was 265 at the start, but there have been many algorithm changes since then, plus I rarely deep cycle the battery, which may be contributing to bad gauging.

On my pack, down below 20 miles the rated range appears to contain a lot more "power" (ie I shed rated miles very quickly at the top end, given a 75mph cruise, but almost at 1 rated mile to 1 actual mile at low battery).

How many miles do you have on the car? 216 seems to be an outlier. I see variations but they range from 228 - 230 on an A pack with 33,000 miles. 216 would have me a bit concerned. That's another 5% lose over what most are seeing.
 
It's been pretty cold in NM lately, mornings in the low teens, and my garage is in the 30s. 90% charge for the longest time has been 232. Yesterday, 227. Yikes!

One thing: for the first time like in 2.5 years, I turned Range Mode OFF, and drove for a day like that, hoping to help solve my car's heating problem... I am wondering if being in non-Range Mode gets a lower 90% SOC number automatically?

Changing modes does change the rated range at 90%. I've seen up to a 4RM difference.
 
reading this thread ...

if at 90%
most S70s are measuring iro 210 miles, surely an S85 should be measuring 210/70*85 = 255 miles.
Mine at new measured an unimpressive 227 miles at 90% equates to an 8% improvement over an S70 for a 20% increase in battery size.
Most S85s at new seem to be measuring 240-245 miles, that's still only a 15-17% increase.

I must be missing something here
 
I passed 16000 miles today so I checked 90% again. 226 today. Given the SOC variations with 1% as well as calibration errors I suspect all of mine are within margin of error and deflect no material
chsnge in the year since it was manufactured.
this morning at 18,500 miles 226 rated miles again.
 
A log of what Visible Tesla reports for my July 85D (9000km), with a couple of Remote S numbers over the past 5 weeks or so. My charging pattern is a timed-for-when-I-leave charge to 90% every day. I usually end the day with 69-72% charge remaining. Three range charges in this time, one to 100% at home, one to 100% at a SC (unrecorded), one to 93% and one lower charge to 70%. I tend to not charge on the weekends, typically running down to 50% or so. Average temperature dropped from +9C to -15C over this time with a corresponding increase in energy usage from 10-12% a day to 22-25% per day. Car was 385km/239 Miles ( at 90%) at delivery
