2016 P90DL High Power Consumption Same weather conditions

[merq]

HI all, over the past week I've noticed that my daily commute is now using ~500 wh/mi where as for the previous couple of weeks it has been around 370 wh/mi.

All conditions have been relatively consistent (as much as possible) including ambient temperature, weather, tire pressure, traffic conditions, driving style (autopilot usage), climate control off.

I've also noticed that I am getting considerably lower than the estimated trip battery percentage when I have navigation active for my work location (please see attached picture). I am used to getting at least 1-2% more than estimated for this trip.

Has anyone run into anything like this before? I'm trying to find an explanation for the perceived increase in power consumption. Thanks.

Hmm, I and you have probably about same car, and battery technology.
I took a photo because I drove a bit longer trip few days ago, and due to unusually hot weather, I guess, I had unusually big difference in the real use vs estimate.
I thought it was funny how precisely the "notches" along the curve were estimated, (there are plenty of elevation changes along the route)

my battery/car is used for about 60000 km and I have nothing like efficient tires on it. yours?
BTW: the only thing I find truly odd about your graph is the big capacity drop over such a short time, are you completely sure you did not participate in a hill climb race at that point?

Get your alignment checked.

And please post your findings, personally I think blaming that on alignment is ...extreme.

Why it's the number 1 cause of THIS complaint.
