In this video I break down what “range” actually means in a Tesla, and why the #1 mistake owners make is treating the range number like it’s fixed. Your real-world miles are a moving target based on what the car is doing while parked, how you precondition, and how you use climate—so if you’re watching your battery drop faster than expected, it’s usually not “battery degradation,” it’s settings and habits. I walk through the biggest parked range killers (things quietly running in the background), then show how to precondition the right way so you’re not wasting energy before you even start driving. From there I get into climate control choices, driving profile settings, and how Autopilot/FSD can change your efficiency depending on how you use it. I also cover the real-world range hits from wheels/tires, extra weight, and simple speed discipline. If you want more miles without changing your car, these are the exact levers I focus on first.
