LET'S EMPTY THE TESLA 0% CHARGE

EV Channels Review

This video documents an ambitious attempt to drain a Tesla Model S 60 to 0% charge, revealing the actual usable capacity of its software-limited 75kWh battery pack. The hosts aimed to discover the real-world range under typical driving conditions, including highway speeds and urban traffic, while keeping climate control and heated seats active. Despite driving over 200 miles and reaching a point where the car indicated zero range and reduced climate control, the vehicle still had residual power, making a complete depletion impossible without risking being stranded. The experiment ultimately confirmed that the "60" model can reliably deliver over 180 miles, and potentially closer to 200 miles, on a single charge, even with significant energy usage from comfort features. The recharge data indicated a usable capacity of at least 62.5 kWh, exceeding the advertised 60 kWh, providing valuable reassurance for owners of this specific variant.
