June 2017 Model S 100D. Bought new June 2017. Now 54,785 miles. I generally keep the charge between 50 and 70% unless on a road trip… then 90%. Every 3 months or so, I charge to 100% and drive a long distance right away. Supercharger for about 60% of the time, rest using dryer outlet to get about 17 mi/hr.
In last 6 months noticed that if I charge at home or at a supercharger, an hour or so after cutting the charge, the battery reads 8-12 miles higher, sitting idle. Today, I supercharged to 90% which is 294 miles for my car….about 97.5% of new… so pretty remarkable. Parked, went into COSTCO (same lot) and car read 306 miles. Drove home, a couple miles, now reading 303 miles. So the “additional” miles appears to be real.
Questions:
Anyone else seeing this behavior?
Is this a red flag on battery health?
FYI, I am enrolled in Recurrent which has sent me a monthly battery health check report for the last 14 months. Consistently rated my range as “higher” than the fleet average. I suspect if you account for the type of driving, location, Ave temperature (I am in Southern California) I would be closer to average.
Welcome comments or pointing me to threads that address my questions. Thanks!
