Yeah you just happened to leave out until now that you are at 87% health.

So your EPA range is not what you stated in OP.

Also I have the same vehicle and is not anywhere close to that bad going the speed limit or less.

So either you drive bad or your vehicle has issues. So yes something on yourside is fucked up. Either you or the vehicle. It's not normal.

Again, I don't know why you think you know more about my car than me.

According to Tesla I'm rated at better than my EPA estimate.

73% @ 247mi = 338mi @ 100%

Also anything above 70% health is considered "normal" by Tesla, so my car according to them is "normal."

Model 3 Long Range / Performance: 8 years or 120,000 miles, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period.

This whole post is that they lie on ranges, everyone knows this, yet you accuse me of lying about something that's proven?

You are basing your numbers off the estimate I the car. You are using estimated data.

You need an ODB plug and phone app to see the actual battery data.

You don't know what you are doing is what I am saying.

And you're ignoring what we're talking about is what I'm saying.

Tesla doesn't give you an OBD plug and a phone app to see your percentage. They show it in the car. The thing the post is talking about, the thing I'm talking about and the thing everyone else but you in this thread is talking about.
