100% Charged for 150 mi?? (UPDATED)

[jimnycricket65]

Initial mile will always show high consumption. Drive for few more miles like 5-10 just to make sure. Your overall usage is pretty reasonable. Did you check the tire pressure?

I recently checked the tier pressure to be 51psi when cold. I will be driving 30 miles to the airport soon. I will see what difference that makes.

I tried to submit a service request but that option is not "working" for me. I can only send a message on an existing ticket for the sail replacement and wiper motor.

After 3500 miles on my beast 100% shows 301

I think at one point, my CT was showing 300ish

I would swing by the service center if it's close and tell them you've a road trip ahead!

Not according to Tesla. Not only have they said this many times but it seems like, every year, they add more factors into their algorithm to determine range to improve its accuracy. I never pay attention to the value either. I just looked it up and here is the first one that popped up, but Tesla has a lot of advice on its support website as well:

This only applies to the trip planner (which is magically accurate). The miles on the dash is simply the calculated kWh remaining * EPA Wh/mile. As the battery naturally degrades (normally not over 10% in 5-10 years), the kWh capacity will become less and the miles number will get smaller at the same percentage.

...well, common knowledge by old hats, I suppose. The dash number is quite literally just reported capacity * a constant that only changes as the BMS reported full capacity degrades. Otherwise, the dash number would show 999 miles if you were headed down out a mountain pass or 99 miles going the other direction (as the trip planner does).

The trip planner reported range (with a navigation destination) is a very accurate tool that I'm willing to routinely plan down to 10% upon arrival or even 5% if I'm wanting to push it.

Interestingly, in the following link they agree with you:

https://www.tesla.com/support/range... choose to,not your personal driving patterns.

Range is the estimated distance your Tesla can travel on a single charge. For battery-powered vehicles, you can also think of range as the amount of energy your battery has stored at a given point in time. Tesla drivers can choose to display range as either a percentage of battery energy remaining, or an approximation of remaining miles that can be driven.

Displayed range in your Tesla is adapted based on fixed EPA test data, not your personal driving patterns. It’s natural for this to fluctuate slightly based on how you charge the battery throughout its life and how the onboard computer calculates range.

Your Tesla’s actual range depends on many factors, particularly your environment and personal driving habits. The best way to monitor your personal range is with the Energy app, located on your Tesla’s touchscreen.”

Interesting, right after saying that displayed range is not based on personal driving patterns, they go on to say that it does depend on how the onboard computer calculates range and that does include your behavior as noted in the earlier-provided links.

honestly, I do not know how the OP got 150 miles of range displayed on a full charge. Maybe it wasn’t actually a full charge. Maybe the other suggestions will work. Driving style just seemed a logical alternative to me.

The displayed 150 mile range is concerning to me as it indicates the BMS thinks the truck's battery has less than 50% of the capacity that it should have at 100% charge. It could be a gross miscalibration, but I've never seen one that far off.

Or it's forgotten to recalculate it during charging.

So the last trip was 2 miles only. Avg energy is 651wh/mi. And I have no idea what that is.

That's energy drain is like pulling an RV.

but but but, I am not pulling an rv. I need help starting a service ticket. I can’t seem to open one. There’s one open already. Can this be the reason?

That's exactly what I got towing a camper!! 100%=50%
