    Bjorn, I wonder if all the inaccuracies of the numbers and measurements combined with relatively small differences found make any assumption justified. Let's do a check:
    Take for example your two calculations:
    526.6 * 133 / 0.94 = 74.5
    526.6 * 133 / 0.95 = 73.7

    First let's take the lowest possible and the highest of the last calculation:
    526.550 * 132.51 / 0.9549 = 73.07 = 73,1
    526.649 * 133.49 / 0.9450 = 74,39 = 74,4
    Difference: 1.3 / 73.1 * 100 = +1,8%
    Even more if we take the highest possible of your first calculation:
    526.649 * 133.49 / 0.9350 = 75.19 = 75.2 (!)
    Difference: 2.1 / 73.1 * 100 = +2.9%
    Conclusion, based on the inaccuracies of the the numbers by the car and with the inaccuracies of measurements by the car basically unknown it is in my opinion impossible to make any conclusions. Especially if the batteries need to be calibrated too.
    Just my 2 cents.
    Or 3.

      thats a point of view i didnt "consider" before (simply didnt think of exploring how big the inaccuracies actually can be) and it might explain a good chunk of whats happening
      but one thing bothers me .. if all of that is just down to "random" inaccuracies .. why is bjorns constant for range on the display now lower than before "minimizing" a possible range reduction buy expanding the bottom buffer ... which is almost certainly the case since even his charging voltage at a given state of charge is now higher (meaning the battery is actually more full by comparison to the old charging voltages while displaying "the same" state of charge)
      i mean i really hope thats some weird misscalibration in the battery paired with high inaccuracies while measuring .. but it kind of feels off given Teslas history of patching something like this and simply not say a word because all the media would endlessly thrash tesla for it (even if they do it for safety reasons)

      Yes, any scientific or engineering calculation should incorporate error bars or tolerances as part of the analysis: standard procedure particularly when making comparisons. It's also perfectly valid to conclude that there's no statistical difference.

      If it helps, my US Model 3 SR+ recently started to show 211 miles at 90% state of charge vs the 216 miles I was getting before. It started around the time of the v10 update or the updates right before it. I assumed it was just an algorithm adjustment to the range estimate based on driving factors such as speed/acceleration/terrain/weather.

    This is about the same noise level I get. I added the roof band and it did help. Road noise is the most. Weather is nicht gut for testing but just have to account for the higher consumption.
    Hmmm I still feel there was software changes to BMS kicked off some early degradation. 8.3 added the 5% peak power. 20.4.4 rebalanced again on mine before 24.4 which enabled chademo. Each I noticed a change in rate of degradation.
    Thanks for trying to confirm more.

    I just think that the degradation on the Tesla Model 3 is very high since 250 kw was enabled via software update. 250kw charging speed on such a "small" 75kwh battery with only 400V architecture must put a lot of stress on the battery, so i say they added a bigger buffer per OTA update to the battery to compensate for that but the degradation must still be high.

    My LR awd @ 7100 km supercharged twice (first time only 70 kW max) and a couple of DC charges @40ish kW. List 489 km equivalent... Started at 494 km.
    Consumption avg lifetime is 169 Wh/km 80% motorway 110-130 km/h.
    Charged to 80% normally every second to third day plus 4 times to 100% just before departure (distributed evenly over lifetime for BMS calibration purposes). Never left standing at sub 30% SoC.

    Hi Bjørn,
    Greetings from Kristiansand. Since I'm considering to swap in a couple of month my now 2 years old Mazda CX-5 with other el-bil (our second car is VW e-Up 2014) I'm watching basically all of your videos. I just want to say that I'm really impressed with all efforts that you are putting into these very detailed tests and want to thank you for your hard work.
    I hope that in the near future you will be able to take both Polestar 2 and Volvo XC40 for the test. Tesla 3 or Y is also on my radar and not to forget crossovers from VW and Skoda.
    By the way, pass my regards to my country-man Paweł :)

    I measured 72.6 kWh when the car was 1 month old back in October/November last year. This was on the old software obviously. I’ll do another test soon to test with new software. Not sure how you got 74.5 before must have been perfect conditions, maybe very warm.

    LR RWD - 32,000km (19,883miles)
    Since range increase a 90% charge would always show me 470km. (292miles)
    Right after V10 a 90% charge showed 455km. (283miles)
    As of this morning a 90% charge is showing 429km. (267miles)
    I was at the service center last night* and asked "why is my rated range dropping". They told me "with the new software updates that range is now based on your driving habits as it learns the way you drive and predicts your range accordingly". Tesla recommended I change my display to battery percentage.
    (*Note: I was at SC for a failed upper control arm ball joint. It was squeaking, they replaced under warranty. Tesla told me the vendor did not clean out the burs in the ball joint which leads to premature failure.)

If you read my comment in your last video, I said that we are trying to collect data about this. But some people like me doesn’t have any issue, even on the latest software version, so it’s enough to prove that it is not correlated to any software update or whatever.
      We suppose that those who experiencing the problem are commuting below 50% (maybe oftenly to 30 or 40) and/or doesn’t plug their car on a regular basis (means daily and as soon as possible @ higher SoC probably 80 or 90% to help balancing the voltage on the cells).

      Basically Wh/mi is energy required to drive 1 mile and MPGe is distance you can drive using 33.7 kWh of energy.
      Kilowatt-hour is kW * h - power * time = energy
      1 kWh = 3 600 000 J (1 kW * 1 h = 1000 W * 3600 s)
      Wh/mi (or km) is consumption - energy used to drive 1 mile.
      MPGe is miles per gallon equivalent - a distance you can drive using equivalent of 1 gallon of gasoline - 33.7 kWh.

      Ehhh. These computer screens are no more than “estimates” and even if they are 99% correct, that’s still a margin or error of quite a bit of distance/power.
      Tech forum channel has a Model 3 with over 50,000 miles on it and his battery has seen less than 2% degradation. It’s known by most of the EV community that the estimates of battery range shown in the car are just estimates. When it’s showing 4%, it could be 4 to 7%, so if you recharge the car and take into account what 4% of battery capacity should be and subtract that from how much the car charges to 90% to try to get a “total battery energy” calculation, it’s going to be quite a bit off if the car was actually at 7% and showing 4%. That example could make you think that the battery is missing 3%, when in reality, it’s there but just not reflected in the estimated percentage.
      To test this kind of thing correctly, someone needs to write a custom firmware and hard load it into a Tesla to read the battery health from the firmware/hardware report. It would also help to drive the car until it actually stops to have some kind of a baseline between vehicles when calculating energy back into the battery.
      Everything I’ve seen from real world usage makes me think the Model 3 batteries will hold up very well over long periods of time. I have a new Model 3 Performance so it’s pointless for me to test, but I have several close friends with Model 3 vehicles with 30,000+ miles on them with virtually the same range as day 1. A coworker of mine has a vacation house right at 3.5 hours away- the day he bought his car a 100% charge would get him there with 6% left. The same car 32,000 miles later gets him there with 5% left. Identical driving conditions. I wouldn’t read too much into these tests- while interesting, they don’t mean much unless you can get Tesla software to read the battery firmware or you custom write firmware to get a more realistic reading. The margin of error with the computer estimates will always make people think “degradation” or “Tesla hid my power” by making charging calculations reflect missing percentages that are actually still there.
