tesla Tesla total mileage not accurate?
Had my MY for 6 months and just realized my odometer seems off than what it should be. I was driving gas before and my commute is 80km per day, plus personal use, I put 35k on that car. Than I got my Tesla and also switch my job location, which my commute is only 20km per day, personal use should be roughly the same. I have only had my Tesla for 6 month and odometer is showing 19k, which would be 38k for a whole year, in fact that I am driving significantly less everyday. And I saw lots of posts on Reddit with the same issue, but it seems no solution yet. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
If you think it’s not accurate then use a third party app like TeslaScope or TeslaFi that track your drives for you. Then you can match up the odometer to actual trips.
I will definitely try this
I think these two options just pull data from the car they do not independently measure mileage. If the car is wrong all TeslaFi would do is pull that wrong data.
Yes, they will show odometer start and stop as well as the route used. Given the route, it should be possible to independently verify the actual distance using a third party mapping service. If he is seeing anything greater than like .1km difference (distance to find a parking spot, for example) between the two it is a starting point for figuring out what is going wrong.
I see what you mean. Probably would be easier if OP just measure a longer trip with google maps and check against the car then.
Tire sizes also matter. If you had/have larger diameter tires/wheels that would throw off the odometer readings as well.
i didn’t know this, I was during a truck before
Yea the odometer is tuned for the oem tire sizes. Having slightly different tires will result in differences from actual distance traveled vs odometer reading. It’s not huge but it adds up over time. One revolution of a 15” circumference is less distance traveled than say 18” etc. So if you switch tires and wheels on the Tesla, you can select which sizes you have to get more accurate readings.
Ohh, you mean for the same vehicle. No then, it was the original tire from Tesla
I saw a few posts about this. I had the same feeling when I got the car. However I would also be lying if I didn’t say that I am finding a lot more excuses to take the car out to go anywhere and everywhere.
FWIW I did a mini experiment where I drove 48km round trip as outlined by Google GPS and tracked the odometer. Sure enough the odometer read 48km change.
Did you accidently change the wheel size in the vehicle settings?
nope, it’s the original tire
