Understanding Range Factors
Many factors affect your Tesla's range. Our calculator helps you understand the real-world impact of different driving conditions.
Temperature
Battery chemistry works best at moderate temperatures. Extreme cold or heat reduces efficiency.
- • Optimal: 60-80°F (minimal impact)
- • Cold: Below 32°F (15-35% reduction)
- • Hot: Above 85°F (5-10% reduction)
Speed
Aerodynamic drag increases exponentially with speed. Higher speeds significantly reduce range.
- • 55 mph: Optimal efficiency
- • 70 mph: ~12% reduction
- • 80+ mph: 25%+ reduction
Terrain
Elevation changes affect range. Regenerative braking helps recover some energy on descents.
- • Flat: No impact
- • Hilly: ~15% reduction
- • Mountain: 30% reduction
Climate Control & Driving Style
HVAC and driving behavior significantly impact efficiency.
- • Moderate HVAC: 10% reduction
- • Eco driving: 15% increase
- • Aggressive driving: 15% reduction
Tips for Maximizing Range
Before Driving
- • Precondition cabin while plugged in
- • Check tire pressure regularly
- • Remove unnecessary cargo weight
While Driving
- • Use cruise control on highways
- • Drive smoothly and anticipate stops
- • Use regenerative braking effectively
Important Notes
- • These are estimates based on typical conditions - actual range may vary
- • Multiple factors compound - cold weather + high speed = significant reduction
- • Your vehicle displays real-time energy consumption for most accurate estimates

This calculator provides estimates for general information purposes only and may produce inaccurate results. Actual range will vary based on your specific vehicle, driving style, weather conditions, terrain, HVAC usage, tire pressure, and other factors. EPA range estimates are tested under controlled conditions and real-world results typically differ. These tools should not be used as the sole basis for trip planning decisions. Results are approximations and your personal situation may differ significantly.
