    The Tesla Owners manual states that the tires should be at 42 psi cold. Higher pressures that happen after the car is running are expected.
    No matter, this is a great summary of the things you can do to make your car go longer between charges.

      Glad the first thing I did was turn on sentry mode as 2 md night in driveway some one knock down our Christmas decorations tried to break the windshield of our Chevy avalanche and smash the windshield of our model three. Thanks to ring , sentry and a tree field cam had the suspects and provided to police and they were known and were caught days later. They took off on a bike that was stolen the day before and other added to their path of destruction.

    I'm in a model 3 taking a road trip from San Francisco to Las Vegas and some of the most practical advice is to switch acceleration to chill mode (accelerates like a normal car) and steering to comfort (steering is more softer). Use cruise control on the freeway to take advantage of adaptive cruise control. The battery will eat up less.

    On my 2021 Tesla Model 3 LR, it states 42 psi when cold. This is normal for all cars to have the recommended tire pressures on the door stated at cold operating temps. My tires go up to about 45 psi when heated up. During the Los Angeles summer, I might run them a pound or 2 less.

    Along with the cabin temp settings, window tint and the heat shield may give more range when the car is try to cool on hot days. Also slowing down so that you do not have come to a full stop and gain back speed will help if the traffic light and you can time it, I make a game out of it.

    I haven't noticed any difference between chill mode and standard on my SR+ when it comes to efficiency/range. HOWEVER, I will say I don't usually accelerate very hard...standard doesn't make you accelerate faster by itself, it just gives you the ability to do so if you want. You don't have to. Although if you don't have much experience driving a Tesla, chill mode can help you learn to accelerate slower.
    Also, btw, Telsa specifies that the tires should be at 42 PSI when cold. The advice you gave is completely contrary to what Tesla themselves say. The tires will go above 42 PSI after you've driven awhile, and that's normal.

    • @musho86
      @musho86 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can never match the chill mode take off consistently using the standard mode. On an average trip how many times do you start and stop? Thats how many times you have to focus on how you press the accelerator. This is not even remotely close to how efficient the chill mode is. Simple math.

    Question on Charging my Tesla model Y vehicle: Is it better for the battery and possibly giving us longer life by always letting the battery drop down to 20% and then charge the vehicle back up???
    Note: I will be getting my new 2023 model Y in a week or two so learning about how to charge the vehicle.
    I will be driving only short distances on most days being retired so for several days their will still be ample charge until it will reach 20%. So I may only need to charge up the model Y a few times a week. This said, I shouldn't have to keep the charger plugged in all the time.
    What are your thoughts on this??

    Good video. Great topic. Great advice. Good presentation style and pace. Thanks. I improve range with special ceiling covering.
    Start with Tesla brand roof sunshade screens. Add layer of space blanket trimmed to fit on top of sun screen. Tremendous insulation which helps in summer by : 1. reflecting inbound infra red heat from sun. 2. Insulates cabin from heat radiating off of hot glass onto your head. All this reduces energy demand frem AC to give it to more range.
    Winter time energy savings: 1. Insulates warm cabin from cold glass roof surface which when left un-insulated dumps cold convected air onto your head.

  • @jayreddy6887
    @jayreddy6887 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Of Course chill mode does extend your range. if the car is 2023 or newer equipped with the Octo valve heat pump, then You save more energy using it than the seat / steering wheel heat. Tesla is very well insulated, so you can turn on the heat for a little bit and then turn if off for a while. It does not get cold right away like the other cars. Also a tip, you can just hold the temp (73 degrees) and it turns off, and then tap it when needed to turn back on or use voice commands.

    Drove a Prius 10+years before my new baby and sadly nothing new. All common sense.
    It is similar to the Airlines, where more and more of the “budget” one even charge for carry on lol. This past summer, a large group was flying to Las Vegas and they took a budget airline with no carry-on or anything else. Now this wedding was planned in Seattle, and for all the guests flying in all of their luggage was going to be driven in on a truck.. this truck was also bringing stuff in for the wedding ceremony and reception and so they did the math for this and doing stuff. This method was saving them a very large amount of money.but all admitted that this was no way environmentally friendly, but was financially friendly lol I’ve watched a few of your videos, and they have been unbelievably great for me cleaning vehicles like cleaning the air-conditioning and other aspects seeing it on the screen makes it in so much easier but for this one was hoping for something new, and sadly did not find

    I'm in luck I guess because, maybe I'm weird .... OK I know I am but, I prefer the feeling of heated seats and a heated steering wheel over the entire cabin being warm. It just feels nicer for me. I do however use AC liberally as I live in an insanely hot climate. 😕
    I have to say though that, for the majority of my driving, I'm not interested in range. The only time I care about range is on long road trips and even then only under certain circumstances. Still, your tips are useful for people whose usage model requires them to squeak out every mile possible.
    For context: I own a Tesla M3 SRP.

    I just ordered a Model Y Performance myself, so I’m on board the electric car train, but the thing about all this is you just don’t have to think about things like this so much with ICE cars. I can put whatever I want in my GTI and drive upwind or downwind in hot or cold temperatures and not give a single thought to how things like that affect how far I can go. Uphill driving, high speed, tire pressure, sure, but not things like the direction of the wind or how cold it is outside. EVs still have big problems to solve.

      A/C on my ICEs increase the fuel consumption with 1% (Honda Civic) and 1,5% (Nissan Primera). Driving against the wind increase the fuel consumption with aprox. 2%-4%. Running the A/C system in an EV decrease the range with aprox. 10%; in a Model 3 LR parked, with A/C running for 15 minutes, the range has decreased with 5 km.

    I’m triggered 😤 you said no one had a good answer for you on Twitter. The reason Tesla doesn’t hit their range in “real world” tests is because they test range different than most manufacturers (while still following epa guidelines) and those extra test cycles that Tesla does tend to be, well, generous. Also there’s about 20 mi of range below 0 mi. Edmunds retested their Teslas and drove them past zero and almost hit the rated range. Point is, the reason Teslas tend to not get their epa rated range has nothing to do with the quality of the batteries.

    i drive that Indio grade daily in my MYP. i commute in from Blythe. I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to make my range last me the full trip. so far I have to charge going both ways. I'm too scared of running out of battery! I'm going to try some of these. it's way too hot through that desert to run without a/c on my afternoon commute in. doing the scheduled departure when i leave work in the morning... will this help me get a better charging speed? the Tesla supercharger in Indio is HORRIBLE and takes forever. I'm tired of sitting there for 20+ mins every morning just to get enough mileage to get home. I'm still green when it comes to this. any other advice?

    Contrary to popular belief regen braking is actually less efficient than coasting. Regen is definitely more efficient than friction braking. However, you should never use any braking at all whether it be friction or even regen braking if you are trying to maximize efficiency.

      @@LearningFastyour comment had me do some research for an hour last night and found that yes you are right both are inefficient. Not sure if I’m right here but I guess overall regen is more efficient than coasting to a stop. regen loses energy to heat both while recharging the battery and then again using that power. The difference with coasting is that friction and heat is stopping the car and none of that kinetic energy is being stored away and instead just wasting it
