Wanted to give a short update. Performed the brake service over the weekend. The front brake pins needed a bit of cleaning and the passenger front was a bit stuck in the caliper. The rears looked really good and still had lube on the pins. I drove from the Sacramento area to Reno. Cruised at...

Yeah I mean I was able to meet what the route planner said several times before my tire change 2 years ago. And 80 west past donner summit is basically all downhill for 7,000 ft and 80 miles. I've got just under 1,000 miles on the new MXM4 tires and I'll be doing the brake service this weekend...

Thanks, I didn't realize it needed the annual brake service. I will try that this weekend and see if it improves at all. It could be that it's dragging just enough where I don't really notice it under load but it could make a difference on the downhill regen. We do get some snow and colder...

Regen hasn't felt different. I got the spec sheet after the alignment at the service center and all the measurements are dead center or very very close to what they should be.

Also want to add that I use ABRP and the reference consumption updates itself as I drive. When I first got the car, the reference consumption was pretty stable at around 200 wh/mi @65 mph, the DWS06 tires fluctuated between 225-235, and now with the MXM4s it is 260(!!) I am not a new owner and...

Even with the old energy app it would be the same story. Before the first tire change the trip planner would be spot on with the estimate. I used to be able leave Reno at 90% and get to Sac with around 65%. That's about the same battery use but with 35 extra miles and starting at 4,500ft instead...

Having some issues with energy use while going downhill. I have had my Model 3 (2018 LR AWD, 18" w/ aero covers) for just over 2 years. At first, I would be able to match or beat the trip planner. I put a set of DWS06 tires on it and started to notice an increase in energy use when doing the...
