21,000 miles on my 3 LR RWD

I feel like a slacker compared to some of you!
21,800mi in 10 months. ~12k highway & 10k local/commute. 257wh; I ride w uncovered aeros and the goal is 80mph on the highway.
RWD LR, rotated the tires once around 8k when it was at the SC for something else.
I have two items that need attention (missing the magnet on the charger door, and my signature lights are BOTH out) but am just going to wait on those in hopes that Tesla has better and better solutions for them prior to my warranty expiring at 50k in late 2020.

Yeah I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Sure I occasionally launch but for the most part I feel like I drive fairly conservatively.

Do you drive mostly on the highway? Speed will definitely have a negative impact on efficiency. I get good efficiency because I'm in CA and you can't even speed even if you wanted to most of the time.
It may be that I have short drives most of the time. 5.5 mile commute each way. 12 minutes, probably average 30mph
In the Seattle area you would think so but honestly no. I’d say it’s been dry roads more often than not.

If you're averaging 30mph you should be getting really good efficiency unless you are accelerating hard. I average 200wh/mi for my daily work commute and I only drive about 5 miles a day for work. I do accelerate like an old lady though. lol

Glad to read this thread. Sitting at 18K since May 2018. Glad to hear that I'm not the only one racking up miles! Car has been fantastic. Lifetime, according to the trip computer, is 227 Wh/mi on LR 18" wheels without the covers. Tires still going strong, rotated once so far. Miles are too easy when this vehicle is always chosen first from the stable of 4 cars!
PSA for today: Do not underestimate the importance of tire rotation on the LR!

I'm at about 10,500, purchased in April. Two long trips so far (AP is a godsend), no mechanical issues to report (a few software issues but so does everyone that owns these cars). It's mainly a commuter car.

While I hear you on the rotation thing for RWDs, I'm just not seeing (yet) any difference in wear between my fronts and rears. I rotated once at 6 or 8k, have 22k now, and the remaining tread depth is identical from front to rear.

No point to rotate if the treads are the same. You can skip every other 6k miles.

Yeah I'm not seeing any reason for me to rotate. Only reason I did so at 6-8k was I was in already for some warranty work so seemed like a no-brainer for $40 or whatever it was. Experience since says no need to do so anymore. Eager to see how many miles til the wear bars...I was projecting 30k a while back but now seems like I'll get more than that.

16,500 since end of April, 2 short trips planned in the next 2 weeks and I should hit 18k, so far 0% problems and 100% stoked!

Fascinating. Driving habits could be ~compared by comparing lifetime efficiency?? (I'm at 257)
On second thought, that won't be apples/apples since one of us could have done all local driving and blown it off the line, pushing the average up to 257, while one of us could have done 100% highway driving and also be at 257.
Yeah short trips are the worst for efficiency. Car has barely warmed up and your there already.
12k miles in 9 months. 0 dollars in maintenance,0 dollars in electricity cost. (night time free with TXU plan)
