Tesla Motors Club

I got my LR AWD M3 with 19” sport wheels the beginning of last month. I’ve put on only 600 miles so far, and that’s been with a 40mi roundtrip commute to/from work. Half the commute is on residential streets and half on a highway where I’m usually doing 75. I admit I have a lead foot and am having a great time “testing” the acceleration. I’m averaging 295 Wh/mi for these first 600 miles and for little milk runs to the grocery store 10 minutes away, I’ve hit as high as 340 Wh/mi.

Recognizing that I will settle in for a more normal drive with only occasional high speed adventures in acceleration, should I be concerned enough to contact the local service center? Note that when the car is parked at my house with WiFi, I tend to lose only about 2-3 miles per day. It’s the sprints to work and errands that seem to be draining the batteries. Thanks.
