Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Model Y with 10,000 miles on it, and I’ve noticed something odd about the range. With the latest software installed, both the car and the app show a range of only 272 miles at 100% charge.

From what I’ve heard, the range should be over 300 miles, so I’m wondering if this is normal or if something could be affecting it. Could it be related to battery degradation, driving habits from the previous owner, or even the way it calculates range?
 
Honestly, 272 miles doesn’t sound too far off, especially for a Model Y with 10k miles. A small amount of battery degradation over that distance is completely normal, 1-3% in the first year isn’t unusual. Range estimates can change based on climate conditions, road terrain, or even tire choice (are you on the stock tires?). To get a better read on your battery health, you could try running the battery from 100% to 0% on an efficient drive and measure the energy consumption. If you’re really concerned, a service center check can confirm everything’s in good shape.
