Looking for a used Tesla and would like to assess the battery. I believe this post is independen of model type.
Here are the sources I could find to determine current range:
1. As a baseline, the range when new is published somewhere. Is there a good, consistent source for all years and models?
2. Current range is shown on the range icon. If SOC is not 100%, would like to confirm that the range can be estimated by dividing by the SOC.
3. The energy app. Average the 5,15, and 30 mile ranges? They seem to vary more than expected.
4. The trip results. The trip "cards" show Wh/Mile for various trips, but you would need the current capacity in Wh to calculate range. Where would the current battery capacity be displayed? One of the stickies suggests using the energy app (Wh/mile X estimated range).
Is this really as complicated as it looks? Am I missing something?
Any comments appreciated! Thanks.
