Milage Question SR RWD

Mcbadshanks | 2025-12-12 10:13 | 31 views

Should my maximum milage show as 323 on a full charge for this model? Mine is showing 282 at 100% Got the car two days ago. I know real life milage it would drop quicker but surely it should start at what it’s advertised?

Nope. It starts as an estimate based on your driving techniques, temp, etc. you only get what is advertised in perfect conditions at low speed and no accessories. Put it on % Instead

DeterminedMidLifer 2025-12-12 10:24

Also, charging to 100 regularly will further degrade the battery/range

Mcbadshanks 2025-12-12 10:25

Perfect. Thank you

I think 270-280 is exactly what Tesla quote for the SR RWD if I’m not mistaken? Did you mean SR or LR?

Not necessarily, I am at 148k miles with a loss of 13% capacity from 70k miles. I always charge it to 100% and 95% of the time at super chargers. Came with 295 miles now it is at 257 miles max I always use miles instead of percentage. If you need to go X miles and your battery says Y % then you need to convert it based on your wh/mile usage to figure out if you can make it!

beingDigitaluk 2025-12-12 10:38

are you sure as tesla own system advising to charge to 100% atleast once a week? Is there any official article or from experts on this? if yes please share.

DeterminedMidLifer 2025-12-12 10:50

Use the navigation. It literally tells you the arrival % and you set the charge in % you can even add a supercharger stop and set end destination %.

My 2022 m3lr , new got 353 miles, now I show 320 miles... in reality I get about 220 usable miles. 🤣

No its not based of you driving. "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."

Wrong for LFP SR/RWD model 3. LFP batteries are recommended to be charged to 100% regularly and do not have issues staying at 100% due to chemistry. The model 3 manual now references the guidance in the car controls->charging screen that tells the owner what the daily setting should be based on battery. For Tesla Model 3 LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries, Tesla recommends setting the charge limit to 100% for daily use, plugging in whenever possible (like overnight), and charging to 100% at least once per week to calibrate the Battery Management System (BMS) for accurate range display and cell balancing. While daily 100% charges are fine, the key is the weekly full charge to prevent calibration drift, contrasting with older nickel-based batteries that preferred lower daily limits.

No, it's the more accurate EPA minus degradation rather than WLTP. To give you an idea of what to expect, my 2023 M3 was marketed as having a 317-mile range, but the car initially showed a range of 273 miles on a full charge. Three years and 25000 miles later, it now shows 262 after a full charge. Enjoy your car!

Mcbadshanks 2025-12-12 13:14

Yea, standard range. On their website it shows 323. Other EVs an my old Tesla used to show me the advertised full charge, then drop quicker than expected. I was sort of ok with that because at least it showed what I paid for, then it was up to me to manage the efficiency. I’m currently getting five miles per kWh, which is better than my old dual motor LR, so I’m going to monitor it.

Mcbadshanks 2025-12-12 13:15

I feel your pain. I just swapped my DM LR and the range was hilarious. This one seems to be getting much better miles per kWh so far

eldigg 2025-12-12 14:47

Different Tesla models use different battery chemistry, the LR and Performance models don't recommend charging above 80% regularly unless road tripping. tl;dr just follow what the app says cause it knows what kind of battery your car has.

thegolfpilot 2025-12-12 15:48

You've got more range than my P3D-

rwhe83 2025-12-12 16:22

You can tell just by OP’s screenshot. There’s no suggestion to lower it for daily use. Let’s not be the battery charge police too btw…

Present-Ad-9598 2025-12-12 17:17

Where do you live and is the car brand new or a different model year

NearlyCompressible 2025-12-12 18:27

Is this a brand new vehicle? What wheels do you have on it? Wheels change the range.

74orangebeetle 2025-12-12 18:31

323 is not advertised for standard range.

rolexfanboi 2025-12-13 00:00

The standard range variant’s advertised range is ~250 to ~270 depending on the model.

rupees_al 2025-12-13 00:35

Less if older models. But agree no SR is over 300

Mcbadshanks 2025-12-13 01:13

UK and the car was delivered, brand new on Wednesday.

Mcbadshanks 2025-12-13 01:15

Yea, brand new and the photon wheels with the covers still on.

Mcbadshanks 2025-12-13 01:19

https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/model3/design#overview It is on their website.

The "miles" display is (mostly) just: <state of charge> * <EPA rating when new> * <state of health> It uses EPA even if your car is sold in a region that uses something other than the US EPA cycle for advertised range. It helps to think of it more as an arbitrary unit of battery capacity than an actual guesstimate of driving distance. Hence why a lot of us just change the display to % and forget about the miles rating. You can find an actual estimate of how far you can go in the Energy app on the dash tablet. If this is a 2024+ SR RWD, 280-something is the correct amount.

Present-Ad-9598 2025-12-13 02:57

I wonder if the UK has different required numbers for battery mileage than the US, so there’s a discrepancy. Could try a battery test lol

Mcbadshanks 2025-12-13 08:20

Fair play. I was getting 5 miles per kWh yesterday so it’s actually not too bad having a smaller fuel cell. That’s unbelievable compared to other EVs I’ve driven.

74orangebeetle 2025-12-13 08:54

Oh, that's WLTP. I was thinking in U.S. /EPA terms. I think it's closer to 270 miles EPA Im wondering if the in car range is more reflective of that than a WLTP range. The reality is what matters is how many killowatt hours you have vs your efficiency (which can vary) there is no magic range number that fits all situations since any 'range' is an estimate.

Turn off miles and use % only
