Am I overthinking my Model 3 range or is this low?

Am I overthinking my Model 3 range or is this low?

Just bought a used 2023 Tesla Model 3 RWD with 33k miles and I’m trying to figure out if my battery/range is normal or if I should be concerned.

Bought from CarMax. They estimated around 94% battery health, but not sure how accurate that is.

A few things:

- 2023 Model 3 RWD (LFP battery)
- 33k miles
- No warning lights or battery alerts
- Weather has been around 89–93°F
- Mostly using Chill mode
- Not driving aggressively for most of these tests

Some examples from today:

  1. About a 5-mile trip to the car wash and back (~10 miles total):
    75% → 69%

  2. Mostly highway drive (~26 miles one way, mix of ~65–80 mph):
    68% → 54%

Energy app today says:
- 41.6 miles driven
- 23.5% battery used
- Climate: 2.4%
- Battery conditioning: 1.3%
- Tesla said staying below 70 mph would have saved energy

I’m new to Teslas so maybe I’m just overthinking it, but does this sound normal for a 2023 RWD in summer or does this seem inefficient? Realistically, what range should I expect from 100% with this type of driving?

Is it weird to get my gf sister flowers and a gift card for her graduation?

My girlfriend's sister is graduating and I want to get her something to celebrate. I was thinking flowers and a gift card (~$50). I don't know her super well but she's family so I want to be respectful and acknowledge the milestone.

Is this weird coming from the boyfriend? I don't want it to come across as too much or inappropriate. Just trying to be a good boyfriend and show I care about her family.

TLDR: Is it weird for a girlfriend's boyfriend to get her sister flowers and a gift card for graduation?
