You can look at the energy app on the center display to understand exactly why the vehicle used the amount of energy it did.
There are a lot of factors you’re not listing here, so the short answer is: maybe.

Baby it’s cold outside

Odds are this is normal. All depends on how you drove, the temperature, elevation, hills, wind speed etc etc
You can run a battery health test but odds are its over 70%.

Depends a lot on how you drive, how fast, how hard you accelerate, how warm you keep the cabin. Are your tires fully inflated?
The cold takes some additional energy due to heating and increased rolling and wind resistances. Your energy app can help give you insight as to where the power is going.

I am from Europe but this week completed a trip of about 280km at -10 Degrees with a 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR around Edmonton.
The trick is to pre condition the cabin and therefore the battery before you leave while the car is still plugged in.
Even a standard 120V 12a Socket is better than nothing.
Otherwise the car needs to heat up the cabin and the battery if the car is cold soacked eating up the range.

Change the display from percent to kilometers. Compare the kilometers displayed at a full charge to what the range would be when the car was first sold. The mileage (kilometerage?) displayed is basically the EPA rating multiplied by the BMS's value of the total charge in kWh. Unlike EVs from other manufacturers, the kilometers remaining displayed is not based on your driving habits.

Did the 2021 have a heat pump in north america?
I guess even if it did, you're below freezing which is where either system is going to struggle

My fault for opening Reddit today.

Yes I checked the energy app. For a 50km trip theres a +10km for Battery conditioning and -6.6km for driving and +1.7 for climate so effectively 5km more than rated.
I think the cold weather is draining the battery then.

Is over 70% really the benchmark for a 4 year old Model 3?

Sure will do and monitor

Yes I checked there was a significant consumption for Battery conditioning

Yes my 2021 Model 3 has a heat pump.

For the warranty to kick in for replacement. You're probably at 80% to mid 80s% battery health or something along those lines.

Understood. I am looking to do a battery health test to know the exact percentage.

If youre looking to get the rated efficency, that won't happen. In the US the epa number for my car is 333 miles. I get maybe 250 miles in spring/summer when the temps are ideal.
There's a lot of fluff in the stated numbers and reasons why you'll get X.

Might want to do a battery health check. When I bought mine used it would tell me my battery was practically dead even though I'd only used 50 KW or so. After draining it all the way down and doing the battery health test it was much more accurate.

I have scheduled the battery health test for this weekend. Cant do it on weekdays as it takes about 24 hours

You have to get the battery down as low as you can before the test. Otherwise most of the time is basically just it draining it down again.

Yep got it, I think the car mentions the battery should be below 20%

Yes buddy, the battery health is at 86%
