Tesla’s Dieselgate (pluralistic.net)

Tesla is a giant shell-game masquerading as a car company. The important thing about Tesla isn't its cars, it's Tesla's business arrangement, the Tesla-Financial Complex:

My car only goes 180 miles.. congrats on getting a good one though.

Which model/year do you have? Is that fairly consistent throughout the year?

[–] cevn@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Drops significantly during winter, perhaps to 120 miles.

2018 model 3 Long Range.

That sounds way off. For a LR that would be 388 Wh/km, which is incredibly bad. Normal values should be 150-200 Wh/km unless you're pulling a trailer or going 200+ km/h.

I go around 80mph on average, which I would think is normal in America.

This is also with the AC off btw, that is my max range. Clocked 6 or 7 times.

You should probably go do a battery health check. If your range is that bad, your battery degradation should be within warranty replacement range.

Yeah, please get a battery health check done and contact Tesla for battery replacement under warranty. My SR+ goes further than that at this speed.
