The range is available on the screen based upon the last 5, 15 (I think) or 30 miles, your choice. The battery icon range is always rated range. Go into the detailed battery usage data and charts if you want other estimates.literally everything you just said was in my post, including that I use battery percentage. It doesn't change the fact that they will not update dashboard range to reflect any version of reality, despite the navigation having excellent data for charging stop estimates. But even if I wanted to specifically go out of my way, into a menu, and enable some weirdly named setting that would tell me truth instead of best case, I can't. For me, I can deal with it now that I know. But I didn't inherently know that EVs were so insanely more sensitive to temp, speed, wind, and elevation than an ICE vehicle. I had to learn that as I went. So yes, I will assert that it would be really nice if I didn't have to set the battery to percentage, and instead could be given a real world range display without covering up my map with the energy display.
Tesla isn't hiding this information, just presenting the driver with the most consistent value up front and center.
