❄️ Cold weather in the UK

At 0°C, expect 15–20% less range from battery chemistry alone. With the heater on, add another 10–20%. Real losses in a UK January can reach 35–40%. Teslas with heat pumps (Model 3/Y from late 2020) handle cold significantly better than older resistive-only heaters.

🏎️ Speed is the biggest drain

Aerodynamic drag increases with the square of speed — going from 60 to 70 mph uses roughly 20% more energy per mile. On a UK motorway at 70 mph you'll see around 94% of the 65 mph baseline. Push to 80–85 mph and that drops to 75–81%. Cruise control at 60–65 mph is the sweet spot.

🔋 Battery degradation

Tesla batteries typically lose 10–15% capacity after 5 years and 150,000+ miles. LFP packs (Model 3/Y RWD) degrade less than NCA/NMC. You can find your car's current degradation via the TeslaBatteryCheck tool or by checking rated vs. actual range in your Tesla app.

📊 About these estimates

Wh/mi efficiency figures are derived from TeslaFi fleet telemetry (200M+ miles), Recurrent Auto fleet data, and Bjørn Nyland benchmark tests. They reflect typical real-world driving at 65 mph — not EPA lab conditions. Individual results vary with driving style, tyre pressure, and road conditions.
