545 mile day tomorrow

[bingbongbing]

First proper long day in the car.

In my old e400d it'd not even use a full tank of fuel and be totally painless....... I wonder what it'll bring in a model 3.

If there are superchargers (or other CCS chargers) on the route and you have a normal bladder, it'll turn out fine .

My experience, with a family of four, is that someone needs a wee before the car needs a charge. We've done 400 ish miles in a day with two charges.

 

[GRiLLA]

We do 485miles a couple of times a year to visit family, never been an issue with the car or SuperChargers. Assuming you are starting in the south, enjoy the M5 and 6.

Exeter to Grantham, then lincoln, off to Nottingham before back to Exeter

A cheap journey at least. The adventure comes at no extra cost.

I’m not sure how 40p kw/h at superchargers. Compares to 50mpg

If that's a BMW dash '50mpg' then it's more like about 35.

If you have a Home Charger and leave with a 90% full Battery the first 200 - 300 Miles will be extremely cheap.

no its a mercedes dash 54, which was a real 50mpg. which it'd do sat at 80mph.

Currently sat charging upto 100%. I've set the precondition also. It'll be interesting to see how far it'll go on the motorway.

Not sure how that myth ever propagated. I used to use Fuelly and the BMW OBC was within 1 mpg of Fuelly’s figure

it started with EV owners . So 73mph, where do you think my efficiency will sit? think it'll hit 4miles per KWH? Or 3?

325 Wh/mile today, 2020 Model 3 LR (so pre-heatpump), heating on at 19.5 degrees, outside temp was 8 degrees, rained pretty much the whole way, cruise control set at 70 but average speed was more like 55-60 due to traffic.

 

[bingbongbing]

It’ll be a good comparison, I have my cabin at 20deg. Not sure how much the heat pump gives towards efficiency

 

[Steely]

I did 202 miles yesterday in my MP3 not hanging about, majorly on motorways. 20.5 deg cabin, 50% heavy rain and dark. (Winter tyres fitted) Journeys end 62 miles range left. Very happy with that.
Also noticed that the updated software is far less prone to phantom braking.

 

[bingbongbing]

If I can get from home to the Grantham superchargers, that's 238 miles.... I'd be amazed if I could get that far.

Long Range?

If yes you should easily do that. I regularly travel to a customer 121 miles away up the A1 . Leaving with 95-100%, I get back home with 21% remaining. 242 miles with a cabin heat from cold on return leg. That’s at less than 5 Celsius, dry day. Superchargers at St Neots if you don’t fancy pushing it.

I've said it before, and @Jason71 will be here soon to tell me I'm doing it wrong, but I have never ever got even close to 200 miles 100% from my M3P, let alone 202 with 62 left. Congratulations, my friend, you are obviously doing it properly.

I'd tend to agree, 200+ miles would be a result for me at this time of year...
