Hi Community!
I am aware of Tesla's 70% battery degradation warranty but have 2 questions. First, what would Tesla consider the full and 80% range on a new 2018 Performance Model 3? Second, how do I address this with Tesla if it falls below 70%?
Background... We have one of the first Model 3 Performance 3s - were on the original wait list. Love the car! We now have about 46k miles on it and have only charged it beyond 80% a few times, for lengthy road trips. We also use a home charger - 240v, 48 Amp - 95%+ of the time and rarely super charge (even though it's free for this car). I have read that those two factors help preserve the battery. As of today, an 80% charge will provide a shown range of 218 miles. I seem to recall the 80% charge, when new, over 300 miles and now find myself very disappointed with the range after only 4 years.
I am very interested in the opinions and reactions of this community. Thanks!
