Getting only 30% of the advertised range would be very unlikely unless you always drive uphill and in the cold. I've had a Model 3 and a Model Y, and would get at least 80-85% of the advertised range in average California weather.
- bdangubic 2y agoI have 2014 Tesla S and 80-85% is just about right

But I’m guessing it might be very hilly terrain where the roads are not level at all. The crazier thing is that their commute is 60+ miles one way (based on saying they are lucky they can charge at work).
- wongarsu 2y agoI assume they leave work on a full battery after charging there for free, limiting the advantage of regen braking

- darknavi 2y agoLooking at Tessie, my Model Y's lifetime average is 83% (289 Wh/mi at ~40,000 miles) and my Model 3's average is also 83% (280 Wh/mi at ~53,000 miles). Most of my driving is in the Washington/PNW, so a bit more hilly and colder than California.
- numpad0 2y agoGP wouldn't notice effects of uphill and downhill averaging out if he starts at the bottom and charges at the top. And GP is implying he do.
