Tesla Model S range confusion

[Tori1]

I recently got a new Model S Raven edition with a 373-mile EPA range. After charging to 100%, it only shows 359 miles. Is this normal for a new car, or is there already some battery degradation?

It's common for a new Tesla Model S Raven edition to display a full charge range slightly below the EPA-rated 373 miles. Factors like driving habits, temperature, and software algorithms can cause this variance. And a displayed range of 359 miles doesn't necessarily indicate battery degradation.

359 miles is already a lot. Agree with @Stan, don't depend too much on the advertised EPA range. Many factors can affect actual range.

You remind me of myself when I first got into EV, haha! Congratulations and enjoy the car, sir!

I set the battery display in percentage. It lowers down the range anxiety.

It’s good to know this is normal and not a sign of degradation. I’ll monitor it over time.

Yeah right, it’s definitely a learning curve, but I’m excited to dive into the EV world. Appreciate the encouragement.

Great tip! I might switch to percentage too, ignorance is bliss, right? Out of sight, out of range anxiety.

Teslas estimate range based on a standard energy usage model, but the displayed miles can vary depending on driving style, energy use, or even the software version. It’s worth noting that 359 miles out of 373 isn’t a huge difference, and cold weather or preconditioning can also play a role. I wouldn’t worry unless you see the range drop significantly over time.

Yeah, I am keeping an eye on it, thanks
