I realize most people don't drive this far most days but for likely a close to $100k vehicle this seems like a low range.
Tesla's battery warranty doesn't kick in until it can't carry 70% charge (losses are expected) and then make it middle of Winter and the range looks really low. 200 miles goes to 160 over time and middle of Winter the 160 goes to 120?

Plus I would assume the 200 and 230 mile ranges are at a full charge. One thing I did not know about EVs before I got my model 3 is that you are not suppose to fully charge them all the time. At least that's what Tesla recommends they say for daily charging to stay at like 50-80% charge I believe. Of course they could simply hide the extra capacity showing it to be full when it's only at 80% but I'm guessing they don't because they want to advertise the highest numbers they can.
