Hey Guys,
I have an 85d that I've had for about a month and recently took multiple trips from Miami to Orlando, I did a full charge that stated I had 270 rated miles avail. I was checking and monitoring my usage and I noticed after driving around 100miles per the trip data, the rated range dropped to 145 instead of 170. I was driving around 70/75 mph and using cruise control. I realize using cruise control is a constant drain and also going 70/75 mph can have an impact on rated range however 25 miles in an hr seems high. As much as I love my car, it's little disappointing to see the rated range is far from accurate on a car that costs around 100k.
It makes it little difficult to plan a road trip properly when the rated range being displayed isn't accurate. Is this normal or should I have my car checked out by Tesla service?
