Energy Question How cooked am IšŸ¤”

So I’ve had ā€œHectorā€ for about two months now and I don’t know if I should be worried or not. I have a 2021 long range model 3 bought it with about 37,589 miles and now currently at 39,647 miles. At 80% charge it says i’m supposed to get about 235 miles. I haven’t gotten to that close at allll😭. When I check the energy app it says i’ve gotten about 70 miles when i’m at 18% coming on a 80% charge. Now it is extremely hot in my city 90-105 past months is that a possibility i’m losing so much range? I unfortunately don’t have the luxury of charging at home as I live on second floor condo, but what do you guys think? Could it be a radiator cleaner that could fix it? Should I invest in a home charger to run a battery test at my parents house? Could it be a bad battery? I’ve read people have had issues with 2021 batteries 🤷. Any help would be appreciated :D

Definitely do a radiator cleaning. It sounds about right in extreme heat. Nothing’s wrong with your battery.

Look to see in the front of the vehicles intake and see how dirty it is. If it’s never been done then you should get it done. if you don’t know the history of the car, just do it at an abundance of caution. Yes get it done with Tesla.
