11 Ways to Improve your Tesla's Range

I this video I show you 11 easy steps to improve the range of your Tesla or any car for that matter. You don't have to do all of these at once but they each individually help and collectively will net you more range because your car is running efficiently.

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.

1. Chill mode
2. Turn off heat or AC
3. Keep the car clean
4. Tire pressure
5. Driving habit (speed, use of brake)
6. Less weight in the car
7. Remove roof racks
8. use aero wheel caps
9. Keep your Tesla plugged in
10. Preconditioning
11. Wheel configuration

I love how theres no intro and Gjeebs just literally goes straight to point #1.

Ma mannnn

Forgot to mentioned 2 important ones.
1. turn off sentry mode if you're home.
2. Turn off "cool cabin" option
Those 2 will drain the battery super fast.

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.

After six months with my MYLR I just use it without any concern for range. Plug it in when I get home, could not be easier. And I don't miss gas stations one bit.

Buy a Tesla, it will change your life for the better and improve your neighbors a bit also. Cheers!

Good job Ben. Thanks for doing all that driving to test the various options. It is appreciated.

Thank you for getting to the point off your video immediately…. Wish ever would do this…. Also no annoying intro or background music! Well done!!!

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.

Video and audio quality are on point. Content is great, and I love that you added value immediately. Within 10 seconds I had my first tip.

[jenniferkidd]

Thanks for the very informative video. Many of these I knew already but I didn't know about the clean car! Just gives me more information to feed my obsession with cleaning my Tesla!

[johnadrinlariosa]

Big fan here, I love your vids so much! I actually just got my own model 3. I hope to maintain its range 🙏🏽

[sjordan]

I alway increase my range by driving downhill everywhere I go, it may be a bit longer of a drive, but it's worth it. haha

[StormsparkPegasus]

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.

Nice vid! I like the points! Clean car is my favorite! Hahaha so all teslas will look sleek on the road! 👏🏼

Cheers! 🥂 new subscriber here!

Another great video! I go back and forth on getting if I should have optioned the white interior for my MY or not (too late now lol).

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.

[BaneSIlvermoon]

I know it's already been mentioned by others, but the OEM recommended tire pressure is not the "operating psi". It's the cold psi. If you're setting your Teslas tire pressure to the factory recommended, then you should be seeing around 47 psi while driving. That higher psi does improve range and tire life, at the cost of ride quality and a little grip.

Nice video Gjeebs. Cheers for these pointers.

[wmorgana]

Hey Gjeebs, enjoy the channel. Was always wondering if you are driving on a relatively flat highway should you drive with Hold option or regen still chosen as the best option? I figure any regen is good regen...Just a bit hard on the legs when in regen. Appreciate yr or anyone comments
