Maximizing Tesla Range

Maximizing Your Tesla’s Range

Whether you're on a road trip or just trying to get the most out of your daily commute, here are some tips to help maximize the range of your Tesla and optimize battery performance.

1. Precondition Your Battery

Preconditioning your battery before driving, especially in colder weather, can help improve range. Tesla vehicles allow you to precondition the battery using the Tesla app to ensure it's at an optimal temperature before you start driving.

2. Optimize Driving Speed

Driving at moderate speeds and avoiding rapid acceleration can help you conserve energy and extend your range. Tesla vehicles are efficient at lower speeds, so try to maintain a steady pace for better efficiency.

3. Use Regenerative Braking

Take advantage of Tesla’s regenerative braking system to recover energy when decelerating. This feature helps to recharge your battery slightly when slowing down, extending your range over time.

4. Reduce Aerodynamic Drag

Roof racks, large wheels, or open windows can create drag and decrease range. For long trips, minimize these factors to improve efficiency. Using Tesla’s aero wheels can also help improve range.

5. Monitor Climate Control Usage

Using climate control, especially heating, can reduce your Tesla’s range. Consider using seat heaters instead of cabin heating to stay warm without draining the battery. Limiting air conditioning can also improve range.

6. Plan Charging Stops Strategically

Use Tesla’s Trip Planner to find Supercharger locations along your route and plan charging stops efficiently. Charging at Superchargers helps minimize downtime and ensures you're always within range.
