10 Easy TESLA Battery Tips for MAXIMIZING Range!

I’ve owned my Tesla Model Y for several months now and have had enough time to find out the best ways to maximize your range and improve your efficiency. In this video, I discuss my top 10 tips for maximizing your range for your EV!

Thank you, Matt I just picked up my Model 3 yesterday afternoon so I am a rookie. I have watched a lot of videos and I love how you explain things and the visuals are stunning. I will keep following you and keep learning. Here's to the future!

I've always loved your content and I'll be happy to subscribe, even if I don't get any value out of it at all. And that's because your YouTube channel has already helped me SO MUCH for free.

Granted, I'll probably get value out of it because you're such a great teacher, not only in breadth of technique topics, but also in depth and clarity of explanation.

I hope this new business venture works out for you!

Nice video. Love the 4k and the content was very helpful. Thanks.

Had my Tesla Y for 2 months. Is not a daily driver. Set charge max at
76%. I leave it plugged in unless driving. I talk with a Tesla Service
Tech who told me his cousin and uncle both purchased Model 3's. Cousin
charges to 90% and only plugs in when battery gets down to 10%. Uncle
charges to 80% and leaves it plugged in when not driving. After 4 years
uncle had lost 25 miles of battery of battery power. Cousin has not lost
any battery power miles. Service tech told me this is why you do not
want to be charging your battery all the time. Tesla manual says to
leave it plugged in when not driving. Service Tech said to ignore what
the manual says. What should I do charging wise????

Been driving electric for ten years. I think you missed the number 1 range increase method: coasting. Instead of driving all the way to a stop light and then letting full regen stop you 100’ before the light, learn to coast far before you need to stop. Since EVs are so heavy they can coast a great distance. Excess use of regen and the torque in an EV are also huge factors in premature tire wear.

You can do an entire video on coasting alone and how much more efficient it is.

LRY, I am trying to maximize the range but I get only 3.46 miles per KWh. My Hyundai Kona electric gives me 4.6 miles per KWh. 1.2 miles lesser and I got this LRY in Dec 2023. Range anxiety kills me 😅

Tesla updates. Technical support unlike any automaker.

Thanks for the share Upper, I 👍🏽 and sub’d!

Our estimated delivery date is April 6 - May 4…. So excited.

My range has gone from bad to terrible. I’m now down to 292 from 327 when I first bought it.

Nice tips. You telling things what i do (like brakes only when needed)
I have also installed pedalbox, with this you can set it to eco wich can you more play with gas throttle, much easier.

I do chiptuning, but will found to make more km on Tesla.

Good job with your video, keep going with more tips en trics!

Regards

I have a Checy Bolt. I'm getting 5.2 miles per KWH

My estimated delivery is June next year. For vampire drain I'd say if you live in a warm environment there may be a need tochave that on. And I personally wanted a Tesla for a lot of reasons but sentry mode was definitely a sellingbpoint so I can't imagine not using it. Especially after witching so much Tesla hate caught on video or Wham Bam Tesla Cam.

I plan to plasti-dip my covers. The 19 inch wheels are the most efficient. They make replica turbine wheels for half the price in that size but haven't decided if I'm going to get them. Oh and I'm told they're lighter on weight than the original turbine wheels.

[cmuchmore]

Matt, I've always heard that stop and go driving increases the range because the regen braking is maximized in s&g rather than highway driving. Am I wrong? Again, excellent vid. I didn't know that taking off the wheel covers would reduce the range by 5%. Don't know if I'll put them back on in the city, but definitely will use them for road trips. Great tip.

I’ve been driving the model 3 for more than two years, and 42000 kms (26000 miles). When I picked it up from Tesla, the rated range was 498 km (311 miles). The first year it went down to 470 kms, and now it won’t go higher than 450 kms (280 miles). I typically charge at home (never letting it go lower than 30%, and rarely higher than 85%), but I rent out my car on a regular basis, and the car is sometimes driven by less knowledgable people, who charge the car to 100% and run the car down to 0 kms of range, so I guess that’s not really good for the battery pack.
Also, we get a lot of strong winds, a lot of rain, and low(er) temperatures where I live, basically all year round. So all in all I’m not complaining; 90% of the original rated range after 2 years is fine by me.
What I DO find a bit worrying is the real range during winter. I really have to make an effort to get more than 250kms (156 miles) of range, and the max speed in my country is 100km/h (62 mph)..

Going downhill helps regeneration a lot if used properly, I went 8 miles and gained miles on my battery

Car looks great man. What tint % did you use on side windows?

They look like a really nice match but too dark. Thanks for the video!

[Rose-fcxv]

Can I ask a question? The Tesla website says to keep the Tesla plugged in when not in use to maintain batteries maximum optimal level of charge. My question is after it reaches the charge of 80%, should I continue to leave it plugged in?

[ivanmedina]

my MY is a standard range gives me about. 160 miles.
