    I found that Sentry Mode causes the most phantom drain as it records all cameras while the car is parked. Disable Sentry if you are parked in garage at home and the phantom drain will be negligible.

  • @Resist4

    The tire pressure listed inside the door is a compromise between comfort and range. If you want the max range inflate them to at least 50psi, the ride will be more harsh but the pressure is still way below the burst rating (which is not listed on the tire).
    Preconditioning the battery will not increase the range, it just speeds up the charging time.
    Regenerative braking doesn't add much range at all, unless you are coasting down a steep hill for a long ways.
    These were not 9 good ways to maximize range!

    • @MattDanadel
      @MattDanadel  2 года назад +1

      Do not do 50psi. At 45psi, I have found it to still be comfortable while maximizing range.
      Preconditioning while plugged in doesn't use the battery to heat up or cool the cabin. So yes, you are saving range and maximizing your battery.
      Regen braking, when used properly, makes your Tesla far more efficient than if you were not using it. I have found to be at or below 255 Wh/mi when I use regen braking properly.
      These were 9 straightforward ways to maximize your range.

      @@MattDanadel Of course yes, and that is why the door psi rating is a compromise. But if you want max range (or fuel economy with an ICE), 50psi is the ticket. But I will say this. I've owned two hybrids over the last 15 years and filled the tires to 50psi and never noticed any excessive or uneven tire wear.
