Just got my first Tesla and I’m a little concerned

Just picked it up from Carvana and stopped to top up (80%) before I drove home. Carvana is about 80-90 miles away. I had my AC on 72 (it’s hot as fuck out, 103 today) and I was going 80-85 most of the way as the speed limit is 80. I got home with less than 10% on the battery. Is it normal to lose that much range because of heat and speed? I traveled about 90 miles and lost 71% battery. Topped up again when I got home and lost like 3% in the 4 mile drive home. AC on 72 going 65 and then residential. I feel like something is wrong here. How can I check without making a service appointment? If there is something wrong I have 7 days to return it to Carvana. Oh to add: it’s a 2022 Model Y Long Range with about 50k on the odometer, and it was a rental first. Update: Just drove it around slowly for a bit and it seems to be getting a better sense of how to drive. Still 90 degrees here at 10pm.
