power consumption

I am currently out of town and parked in a public lot, so I turned on sentry mode. I was not aware of the amount the energy this thing actually uses. My X has been parked for about 48 hours with sentry mode running the whole time, 15Kw, that seems like really alot. Originally I thought I had...

The most efficient freeway speed for a BEV varies depending on the model and the driving conditions. The general consensus is that the energy efficiency starts going down fast at higher speeds as the electric motor's power requirements keep going up. Where can we find a right balance of speed vs...

I recently got Powerwalls installed, so now the Tesla app shows me how much power my house is drawing. On a typical day, the house consumes about 18 kWh total (which I believe is below national average). Overnight when everyone’s asleep, the house draws draws 0.4 ~ 0.5kW, so these always-on...

There is a little window in the bottom left of the screen that is labled 'Trip A'. It shows mileage and watt hour consumption since 'Trip A reset' . When the car is NOT being driven, does this measure include power consumption while parked? Why is 'wH/mi' so high when the car is first started...

When I begin driving my Model 3, the display shows very high power use in Wh/mi -- typically in the range of 500 or so. Once I've been driving for a few minutes, it settles down to a more acceptable rate, under 300 (and under 250 if I'm not at freeway speeds). My question: is that initial figure...

Tesla is Model 3 SR+ 2019. My average energy consumption per km used to be ~155Wh/km. Our office moved us to telecommute for COVID-19 closure so I rarely drove since mid-March. I resumed driving lately and noticed my average Wh/km is ~115Wh/km now on the same routes. Projected Range in the...

I just wanted to briefly share a couple experiences I've had camping in my 2015 Tesla Model S 85D. Back in February 2020 I went out into the mountains with my 5 year old daughter to test it out on the coldest night in the 10 day forecast. We drove until the road hadn't had the snow plowed off...
