So I just picked up my 2021 model 3 on Wednesday, and it’s been amazing. But my only concern so far is the battery health. It’s a long range awd (I tend to take business and personal trips and wanted an ev that could do that), and at 80% charge, I was sitting at 266 miles, which if my math is right was about less then 10% degradation.

I was really happy with that math until I noticed today a 26 mile drive cost me 50 miles of range, and a 1 mile drive cost me 4. The math ain’t mathing anymore. Is this normal? I know there will be some loss range over AC (I am in Texas) and sentry mode, but almost two miles for every one mile??? That seems odd/bad.

While away on holiday I noticed my car had an update waiting for me and I thought why not update this so when I’m back in town I have a new update. Turns out that since I have updated this, my car alarm gets triggered every now and then. It has happened twice in 3 days and when I got back and drove to work and back, it happened again. (Service has been requested via Tesla App)

Anyone else have this issue?

I'm looking at Tesla for my first car (I don't own one yet). I am wary of the battery degradation and you'd have to get them replaced once they reach below certain health percentage. Did you guys replace your Tesla battery? if so when did you replace them? What was your total miles driven? Did you supercharge more than home charging? more road trips than daily commute etc. Please let me know what I should be cautious of or be aware of when owning a tesla regarding a EV battery. I have a NEMA 14-30 outlet, so I can charge my tesla at home if i do buy one. If I'm buying standard range, do i charge it up to 100% everyday?

Seeking advice. Very disturbed by my finding.

I don’t daily drive my car (work from home). Over 5 months of weekend driving (small trips for the most part), my M3SR+ added over 7k miles. I highly suspected it was inaccurate.

Today, I did some highway driving. And 18 mile trip added over 28 miles. Not talking about range or battery- talking about the actual miles clocked on my odometer- the ones that make my warranty expire and decrease the value of my car.

I am shocked. $36k on a car that is literally lying about its odometer count.

What should I do? I want this fixed, I want a new car, I want the miles dialed back to 30k which is probably the accurate amount (currently reading 51k). Thanks in advance.

Read a post about the same thing and they took it to Tesla who gave them some BS message about range being more or less bc of driving habits.

Hey guys, just got my MY on Saturday. Noticed an alert today.. checked my tire. There was a nail in it. Sigh. Luckily it’s sitting in my parent’s driveway. Question: I have Farmers ins. Now, I assume I call Farmer’s road side and would they tow it to a Tesla service center or a tire replacement place (I.e. Costco?). Also, I bought a used MY, would this be covered since I get a warranty for my used purchase? Trying to figure out the best way to navigate this. I think they are Tesla tires (have the red marking on them). TIA!
