Hello,
Fairly new Tesla Y owner here. Looking for some guidance and instruction. We took our second road trip last weekend and our first to have to pay for supercharging. I didn't pay much attention to the cost or mileage on the first trip since it was covered under the free 1000 miles from Tesla. This time I did, and either I am making a mistake somewhere, there is something wrong, or that is just the way it is. I am hoping you can fill me in on which it is. In a nutshell I traveled 250 miles, stopped 3 times to charge and spent $35.00 dollars. Cost varied between .35/Kwh and .38/Kwh. Used about 95/Kwh to travel 250 miles. Unless I am wrong that means that actual range ( at least for this trip) is about 200 miles not 326 as advertised. Actual mileage equivalent is about 26 mpg. It wasn't cold, the car was not heavily loaded, not towing anything, kept it under 80 etc. I really expected much better. My V8 4x4 does about 23 mpg on the hwy so not much worse considering it is a much bigger and heavier vehicle.
Is this about normal for the model Y? Anything I can look at to get more information. What are you guys getting?
Thanks in advance,
