My Tesla 3 SR is only 4 months old with 4000 miles. It’s range has dropped from 273 miles to 267 miles at 100% charge, that is 2% in 4 months time. Is this normal? Anyone experienced same issue?

You have excellent non-degradation so far. And I don't expect your future results to be linear...they will be better than that. But...There's no way you could get YouTube clicks with your results.

Updated video about LFP by Jason Fenske with Engineering Explained...
Key takeaways:
Key takeaways:
- To maximize the accuracy of the charge indicator, charge to 100%.
- To minimize degradation, avoid charging to 100% and keep the state of charge as low as possible, but above 0%.

My tesla 3, 2024, two months old, 1600 km got is max range of 437km down to 422. 3%loss. I am concerned. Strange thing: Charging on level 2, charge full speed till it reached its current theoritical maximum., then shut off.
Is it cold now? Impacts range. My 2023 LFP has over 30k miles lost 4% and when it was warmer here in Chicago last week the number actually went up. (First time it went up) i am not sure if it will level out for you but it has for me.

The temp is around 50F here in BC. I am having a second thought, The lower max range appeared just after the software update sent out last week. I believe it has something to do with it.
My 21 mo old 32k mile LFP Model 3...
Range dropped to 254 EPA miles for a few months. This morning. it's back up to 259 EPA miles. Maybe my pack was unbalanced and the cells finally got a chance to balance?
259/272 = 95%
Recurrent shows:
Range score 98
Battery health 90%
Max range in my locality, varies by month: 239-248
So is the Tesla "EPA Range" lying twice? Once for showing EPA range instead of GOM. And again for showing EPA range that 'recovered' yet the season range max has not changed.

7% degradation is less loss than my 2023 Model 3 RWD 34K mile with 90% battery health.
Wonder of the loss depends on the battery maker? Any way to tell
Tesla only sourced LFP blade battery from CATL, right?

I think they're getting them from BYD now too. I don't believe either are appearing in U.S. cars currently.
Tesla's switch to BYD batteries is achieving faster charging times
Tesla's recent switch from CATL to BYD batteries delivers significant increase in charging speeds for Model Y. But the battle of the batteries isn't over yet.

In 23 when I got my car I am not sure where they came from. Could be CATL or maybe BYD.
