2017 Model S 75: owner reports about 150 miles of real-world range
Unconfirmed: an owner of a 2017 Model S 75 posted on Reddit about his experience. He bought the car in early 2017 with free unlimited Supercharging and FSD, with no interior camera and no connectivity subscription. After upgrading the MCU, he says he recently installed the 14lite release, which he considers pretty decent. His main complaint is the 75 kWh battery: he says it barely reaches about 200 miles of range and about 150 in real-world use. He notes that he charges at a Supercharger almost four times a week.…
- Real-world range of about 150 miles with a 75 kWh battery, per the owner
- Supercharger charging almost four times per week, according to the same user
🔎 Why it matters: No official Tesla confirmation: the post claims a 2017 Model S 75 with an upgraded MCU and the 14lite release achieves about 150 real-world miles, versus about 200 miles of quoted range.
📈 Upside: The owner rates the 14lite release as pretty decent after upgrading the MCU.
📉 Risk: According to the owner, the 75 kWh battery limits real-world range to about 150 miles, forcing nearly four Supercharger visits per week.
