Hi all,
I am new to owning a Model S 85 and have noticed that the rated range goes down very quickly. As an example, today my family (of 5, 3 of them are kids of 8 and 3 years old) went to grab something quick. Here's the info:
Result: got back and the car said I had 233 rated miles left. Is this expected?
I am planning on a trip that will be ~170 miles (no stopping to re-charge) soon mainly going ~60 MPH, and I worry that the range that is telling me is just not right or that the battery is not keeping charge well. Do I need to have the service center check on my battery?
Thanks

- Model S 85 with standard 19" rims in covered garage
- Fully charged (for daily use) @240 rated miles
- Outside temp: ~98 degrees F (yes, in Texas)
- Pre-cooled car 3 mins before
- A/C temp set: 71 degrees F
- Drove 2 miles total: 1 mile there (family waited in car for ~7 mins, again at 71 degrees F) then drove back 1 mile
- Pretty flat terrain, no hills at all
- Avg MPH: 45
- No fast acceleration
Result: got back and the car said I had 233 rated miles left. Is this expected?
