[@chezikmusic]

Tesla engineer here 👋🏼 Your 22” Turbine wheels alone will net about 10% less range, even when new! That combined with driving much faster than the EPA when they rated this vehicle, I would say your actual degradation isn’t too bad!! Usable capacity (when new) on the 100kWh pack is ~94kWh. Seeing that the vehicle was showing” charging complete” well before 100% tells me that the BMS isn’t calibrated, my guess is that with proper calibration you would be able to pull more than the 72kWh out of it, probably closer to 80. (~15% loss) A good result overall!! Very useful information, great video. 🎉

[@Tonyrg1988]

Would it be fair to say that those wheels over the lifetime of the vehicle contributed to faster degradation?

[@happinessiskey2858]

This deserves a pin. Very good info, thank you.

[@chezikmusic]

@@Tonyrg1988wheels have no impact on battery degradation. Increased consumption, yes! Turned heads? Also yes! Frequent supercharging and keeping the battery below 20% + over 90% for extended periods of time are the biggest factors for battery degradation. Even with frequent supercharging, modern packs can last well into the hundreds of thousands of miles with ample range.

I recently bought a 2023 Model X but, because the falcon wing door was out of alignment at delivery, the service department had it for 3 weeks. During the three weeks, I had a loaner Model X 75D with less than 60k miles on the odometer. I was struck by how much better the refreshed Model X drove. It's not only more comfortable on the inside with the changed interior, but the driving experience is significantly different. I was also surprised at how much more efficient the new one was than the old one, so not only was the battery bigger but the drivetrain was much more efficient. They may look the same on the outside, but they aren't the same car.

My bosses Lightning goes from 230 range to like 170 when it’s cold below 40 which is quite often around here. I’m sure the battery does much better in a warm area where you are.

[@ransomcreech3995]

The 295 original range wasn’t a 70 mph range so degradation is likely much less than 32%.

[@vitkrivan9380]

Very true! The EPA test cycle is done at like 50 mph in which EVs are very efficient and use a lot less energy than at 70 mph. So I’m guessing he has lost in degradation somewhere around 20% on that car, which is quite good. You also have to take into account that you have almost no maintenance cost on an EV. If he were to maintain an 8 yr old car with over 100k miles on it with the original MSRP around $100k(so like a BMW X5)…oh boy, the bills really do stack up! Easily over $10-15k on the maintenance itself…

On Tesla's 5 cycle EPA test, their 295 original estimate (which includes only driving at the speed limit and city driving which helps EVs) you probably got closer to 250 miles at best of highway driving at 70mph. So you've lost a little less than 50 miles of real world range. So more around 20% at the most. And you also have to remember that yours was some of the early models, which are not nearly efficient or had heat pumps or newer, better battery chemistries.

I’ve had my Model Y just over 3 years and I’ve lost about 12% of my range. It isn’t something I notice in my day to day driving but it’s a bummer to see such a significant loss when you are doing a road trip. Took a recent weekend trip to Vegas and definitely felt it. I tried to stay at 65mph or less for most of the way but you really can’t go that slow when everyone is doing 80. I wish I kept track of how many kWh I had at 100% charge when my car was new so I could see if the 70% warranty applies before I hit 8 years of usage.

I’ve had my M3 LR for 5 yrs and 105,000 miles. Battery was rated at 310 miles, and I had the expected 10% battery loss the first 2 yrs, and then another 1-2 % the third year. The good news is I haven’t lost any more these last two years, and I heard or read that Elon said the battery would outlast the car itself. Looking and hoping that is the case.

@@OneGuyPolitics I actually bought 2011 Nissan Leaf back in 2015 as used, but prior to buying it, I didn't know that EV have existed. Regardless, even with 70 miles of range, it is enough for daily commute and 90% of tasks, but not enough to completely replace the gas car in case of long distance road trip. Even then, I'm able to get around by finding the DC fast charger via Plugshare app and able to plan the route. With Tesla, that completely replaces the gas car. I have done road trip with it multiple times, no problem.

When I do a long drive I start off just over 70mph and end up at about 65mph with the trucks. It's just so much easier not constantly overtaking and pulling back in, as you need to look around.

The reason that it says that you used 70 something KWH is because of battery deterioration. Basically when a battery starts to deteriorate the maximum capacity of the batteries reduces as well. Just like on your iphone. It's not that the phone starts to use more battery as it becomes old but rather that the battery capacity is reducing causing your total active screen time to reduce. So its not that the car just uses more energy rather it is that the original 100kwh worth of batteries can only hold 70 something kwh of charge.

My 2017 Model S 100D with 60,000 miles only had 5% battery degradation. I usually charged to 80% only going to 100% for roadtrips. and perhaps just one road trip a year where I supercharged.

[@grizbizusa]

Here's my comment. First off, thanks for posting this video. We are driving my brother-in-law's 2018 model X - it looks just like yours. It's a 100D as well. He for it new and I've put about 4,500 miles on it. Brother-in-law can't drive now - unfortunately in assisted living. He only had 23,000 miles on it last year - then I put 4,500 miles on it, so it now has 27,700 miles. Low miles for a 6-year-old car, I think. I live in Montana and drive it to Wyoming to help my brother-in-law. Wide open spaces, not many superchargers (but so far, no problems getting to chargers). I'm not running it to a full charge on long trips - usually about 96% or so. Then fighting a lot of headwind, I can comfortably get to the next supercharger with maybe 50 miles range left. My question for you -- any experience pulling a trailer with the 100D? We will need to bring a few pieces of my brother-in-law's furniture up here from Wyoming and considering using a small U-HAUL. The scarcity of superchargers here (more coming, but that's the future) make me get "range anxiety," particularly when the Wyoming winds blow against me! [but the wind does turn a LOT of those big turbines to generate electricity if I could get to it!]

[@marioescalona1640]

[@webzterd]

Swappable batteries where the battery itself is no longer part of the car, but the price of your "fuel" meaning bad cells get taken out of circulation, recharging is as simple as an automated battery swap (meaning mere minutes for a 0-100%) and initial outlay is removed from the cost. It does however require manufacturers to agree to a common standard for battery shape & removal. Perhaps multiple modules allow you to choose larger to shorter range packs for different vehicles. Such common standards have happened before with cars, can happen again.

[@morph-]

@webzterd I don't mean as a replacement for recharging. I mean as a method to extend the lift of the car when the cells begin to lose their life. So the cells can be recycled, and the car body, motors, interior, etc can continue to be used as they are still in good condition and its not worth scrapping a car because the battery is tired.

[@morph-]

@webzterd another issue with this is that tesla has been and continues to use the apple ideology, forcing customers to go to proprietary repair shops rather than third parties.

[@Asheface11]

I've got a 2017 x p100d with around 80k miles and it will sill do 220 miles with 22" turbines as long as I stick to 65-75 mph on the highway and its not super hot or cold. The only real way to determine range is to drive a round trip to and from a destination that consumes most of the battery. The reason for this is because whatever elevation changes you experience will average out which can make a huge difference. For instance if I go from denver to a little town called georgetown my range drops from 100 to to 50% in roughly 60 miles. Using that as a guide, I'd only get to go 120 miles per charge! But if I turn around and go back the same 60 miles, I make it back to the starting point with 40-45% because its all downhill. One time I was coming back late from Colorado springs to Denver and only had 25% and didn't want to stop to charge so I stayed at 55mph and made it back with 5% remaining...it was a 70 mile trip using only 20% because I "hypermile'd" it a little. Although I haven't done it, I imagine if I drove 55 mph for 130 miles then the same back, I'd probably get close to the original 289 miles the car was rated at.

[@KevinJones-Peacefreak]

I can't help but to wonder if one of the Battery repair guys, like Gruber Motors or Electrified Garage, could recondition your old batter pack to increase longevity without hitting a need for repair. Probably a cell or two are causing losses from the entire pack. If they could replace those cells, you might be sweet for a while. Just a thought.

Battery degradation depends on how you treat your car. I've had my model 3 since 2020 and I've only lost about 3% of the range, but then again that could be due to improved battery chemistry and technology since 2016 or 2017.

You're supposed to set your charge limit to 80%, so that's what I do as frequently setting the charge limit higher than that will wear the battery down quicker. I only use the model 3 for local commutes to work, I also try to avoid long drives and road trips where I'd need to supercharge. Frequent supercharging will wear down your battery faster. I keep my Tesla garaged which might also help. Another big factor in extending the longevity of the battery is living in colder climates. I live in western Canada which has a cold temperate climate, so that might extend battery life as well.

The battery has not degraded 30% here. Your estimated range now is 240. If you do 240/295. Thats 81% so, you have lost 19% capacity.

Even with brand new battery, you would’ve gotten significantly less than 295.

No the old unlimited miles warranty has no percentage limit, this test is also a bit flawed as the higher consumption at 70mph leads to a higher heat loss in the battery so you would need to have the same test done with the fresh battery to actually calculate the loss.

What’s way more interesting besides the displayed range is how much kWh the battery is still able to hold. If it really is below 30% the battery should be covered under Tesla warranty since the car is not older than 8 years with mileage under 150,000. Most Tesla’s I’ve seen maintain about 90% of their battery capacity with the same amount of mileage.

[@jrwrock3592]

One thing to note is that EVs don't necessarily experience peak efficiency at highway speed like a gas car would, so cruising at 70mph likely shortened the range more than if you had been cruising at 40mph or even at slower highway speeds (say 60mph) because of increased air resistance. Also, from experience driving a 2019 Tesla Model X long range, normal highway efficiency with smooth acceleration is much closer to 300kw/mi, rather than 350kw/mi as seen in the video. All in all great experimentation and breakdown of the range degradation.

[@user713Blvd]

Thanks for sharing. For my personal opinion, EV is great for 1st owners because they will get all benefits such as tax credit, warranty cover, better battery capacity/MPG, insurance, battery life, and etc. BUT the next owners are very suffer because lack of benefits that i mentioned. In addition, the fix EV cost or battery are so expensive, didn't even hold the valve, and etc.

[@edfoxterful]

I just like to say that your range or distance your car travels depends solemnly on the environment and speed. When it's cold and you drive fast, at 65 miles plus, your watts per mile could go up as high as 450 watts per mile. This means that your car will only go up to 93kwh/450 watts per mile, 206 miles. A better measurement of your battery capacity is using your 30-mile average watts/mile on the consumption screen, multiplying it by the predicted range in miles, and then dividing that by your percentage of battery capacity left on the front screen. Now, remember, the usage watts/mile is based on energy and distance, your car might not account for energy used in heat/ac/ running processor and sentry mode. So, for the most accurate usage, use your trip odometer usage in between charging, take the total miles traveled, and the total energy used to recharge divide those two numbers for most accurate watts/mile and divide by percent to determine battery capacity.

[@patricklee7888]

The 72.3 kWh is how much you used driving, not everything else that you also need to power the car. Also, you mentioned it as well, you never really get 295 so I wouldn't call it a 30% range loss. I think that is partially why people are so scared of EVs.

[@greggillespie4557]

The high voltage pack doesn’t power the other features on the car. There is a separate 12 V battery that runs the rest of the systems. So that number is correct for energy expended, for driving.

[@FirstLast-rh9jw]

Yes, because they really, really do degrade. A second hand EV (of any brand) is a doorstop, more and more people are finding they actually degrade, and are actually difficult to repair or replace the battery. Note that performance wouldn't trigger a new battery install based on the Tesla guarantee.
