Solution
1. Evaluate Energy Consumption
  • Access the energy consumption screen on the Tesla display.
  • Analyze the average consumption over recent trips.
  • Identify patterns and note any spikes in energy use.
2. Optimize Driving Habits
  • Encourage gentle acceleration and deceleration.
  • Use regenerative braking effectively to recover energy.
  • Keep speed within efficiency limits, ideally below 65 mph.
3. Adjust Climate Control Usage
  • Use seat heaters instead of cabin heating to save energy.
  • Precondition the vehicle while plugged in to maintain comfort without drawing from the battery while driving.
4. Plan Charging Stops
  • Use the Tesla navigation system to plan trips that include charging stops.
  • Set the destination in the navigation system to ensure the route includes charging stations.
5. Maintain Proper Tire Pressure
  • Check tire pressure monthly and keep it at the recommended PSI.
  • Consider using low rolling resistance tires to improve efficiency.
6. Upgrade Software and Features
  • Ensure the vehicle’s software is up to date for optimal range performance.
  • Consider activating any range-extending features available in the Tesla app.
