My commute is 75 miles, of which 95% is driven on Autopilot. Prior to 2.24.102, it was consistently taking 330 Wh/mi, but ever since that update, the energy usage of the trip has dropped to 300 Wh/mi.
Since 2.24.102, I've felt that Autopilot accelerates more smoothly. For example, when traffic clears ahead, the car now ramps up to its maximum set speed more gradually than before. And I think that braking, when traffic-ahead slows, might also be more incremental and less last-minute, but I'm less sure of this effect.
I don't have hard data on this, but Autopilot seems like it would amenable to optimization to improve energy efficiency, and would be something worthwhile for Tesla work on. Maybe they are.
Anyone else notice a change?
