Newbie Range Question

Also, don’t forget if you’re on a road trip and want to arrive at your destination with a specific % state of charge, you can enter that in the “energy at arrival” (forget the exact wording) setting. This tells the navigation and time spent charging to adjust your supercharging stops accordingly. This setting is under Settings when a nav is active.

Think of the battery like a theater: the more people that are seated, the harder it is to find an open seat. So the "more full" the battery is, the harder it is to add more energy. The charge rate is automatically tapered down to avoid damage and promote longevity.

I like to think of it as filling 1000s of 20oz bottles with a fire hose. You can go as fast as you want, but if you spill a single drop, it explodes.

Thanks for all the input, I just keep thinking some thing is wrong with my battery. I lost 20+ miles with it just sitting overnight in the parking garage. That cant be normal?

Sentry mode on? Yes. If not, then no.

Set a home location and you can choose to have sentry mode turn off at home.

Fwiw, my lifetime is 336 wh/mi driving 100 miles up and down a canyon everyday. Normal acceleration, 69 in a 65mph, 73 in a 70mph. Awd stock tires. I like me some of that yummy efficiency.
