Which common EV Misconceptions or myths have you heard? Let us know and we will do the research to provide the facts! 😁⚡️

[@craigjhart]

I have a 2018 X 75D with 118000+ miles on my car and have went from a 100% of 227 to about 210 (depending on the outside temps). Lot of Supercharging and charging to 90% a lot.

That’s great to hear that the battery on your Model X is holding up so well! - Brandan

[@JunkerOnDrums]

VW has also a battery guarantee, at least in Europe - 8 years/100.000 miles.

[@EverydayEV]

That’s great to have in Europe! I just checked the VW USA page and it doesn’t appear that the ID.4s here receive the battery guarantee, but it does still get the 8 years or 100,000 mile warranty. - Brandan

[@willaerley7140]

Big misconception - 345 miles of range at 15F. No way.

[@EverydayEV]

I need to get some clarification on that stat. I believe that’s an estimate on current battery health and the temperature it’s been seeing for the month of April. I’m curious to know that number will change in the winter! - Brandan

[@recurrentauto]

That's absolutely true. There are a few factors here: (1) Since this is a newly connected vehicle, it'll normalize over time. (2) That temp variance is heavily influenced by the vehicle's rated range, which is very conservative in Teslas. We're introducing data from 100 vehicles with OBD2 enhanced analytics so that'll get more accurate as well!

[@mg19cal]

I have a 2021 Model 3 Long Range and it was rated at 353 miles at 100% charge. I got it in December 2020, and now if I was to take it to 100% (I never have it over 88%) it's rated at 324 miles, max🤔🤔

[@EverydayEV]

Hi mg19cal, thanks for your comment! There are a lot of factors that go into what your State of Charge rating shows at any percentage. It ranges from how fast/slow you drive, weather temperature and conditions, and the type of driving you do (city v. highway). Our 2021 M3LR will show about the same range estimates at 100%. We’ve seen anywhere from 320 miles to 355 depending on how we drive and what the weather is for the week. We’ve only had our M3 during warm weather months so far. But the more efficient you drive, the higher that number should consistently stay. Hope this helps! - Tyler

@@EverydayEV according to my TeslaTip, it's only holding about 69kwh at 100% when I bought it, it was at 82kwh

@@EverydayEV and yes, your info has been helpful👍👍
