After I performed that battery health test I submitted a service request to Tesla in the app and told them “Hey I performed a battery health test that resulted in 7% which sounds concerning. What does this mean exactly?” I received an automated email from Tesla that had some insightful data on range and efficiency which will help anyone better understand the factors that go into improving efficiency and achieving good range in a Tesla because that is one of the most important skillsets to have as an owner. Tesla’s insider info about efficiency and range came to me in an email called “Tesla Range Report” which they derived from remotely analyzing a portion of my driving stating actual range heavily depends on speed, acceleration, vehicle load, winds, terrain, temperatures, and other parameters.
During this portion of my driving, my motors used considerably more than the EPA estimate while my climate and accessories used less. As far as the climate and accessories go, the key things to remember are that heating and cooling can use quite a bit of energy along with any accessories that you may have plugged into the chargers or sockets inside the vehicle. The Auto climate setting is engineered to most efficiently heat and cool the cabin so try to use that most of the time. For energy used while the car is parked, you can see the biggest culprits are preconditioning and sentry. Preconditioning uses energy to heat or cool the cabin and battery pack while Sentry mode typically uses around 4 kWh per day when active. But the biggest range impact will be from driving conditions. The following scenarios all negatively affect range: driving uphill, driving over 70mph for a long period of time (which explains my Model Y’s low range on my recent trip), cold weather, precipitation, harsh acceleration, heavy loads in the vehicle, and driving into strong wind. Those obviously will result in a lower estimated range than the EPA range, but one other big factor that many people forget is tires. Not only are smaller tires more efficient along with optimal tire pressure, but tire design itself can have a huge impact. The new Sailun ERANGE EV tires use proprietary EcoPoint3 Technology and are the first dedicated electric vehicle tire lineup specifically designed to increase range. EcoPoint3 technology uses an advanced manufacturing process of Liquid Phase Mixing, which reduces the rolling resistance. These tires also have an increased load-bearing capacity to account for the extra weight of vehicle batteries. They also feature advanced tread patterns and specially formulated rubber compounds to handle the instant torque of electric vehicles, along with SilentTread technology for a quiet and comfortable ride. I’ve driven over 500 miles on these tires in the last week, and I’m impressed. They’re averaging under 230 Wh/mile which is a record for me. My lifetime average before getting these tires was 254 Wh/mile so these tires seem to be the real deal, and they’re on the more affordable side at around $187 per tire based on my Model 3’s tire size.
