5K miles efficiency update

[mark95476]

I live in the Bay Area (aka Tesla central) and have been driving my MY since late June 2020. The Bay Area is a very urban area surrounded by mountains and I go up and down these mountains (2000 ft) nearly ever time I drive.

Mileage: ~5000
Wh/mi avg: 257

that’s really good!

2020 PUP delivered in July, SW Ohio
I’m at 5800 miles
Wh/mi: 326

Do you keep your tesla garaged and plug in every night? I notice better efficiency when starting a drive immediately after charging up.

2020 MY PUP 1600mi 308Wh/mi in the Bay Area too. October through January.

257 is fantastic. That's below Tesla's rated range! I can only guess these are low-speed roads?

My average is well over 300; it doesn't take much >65mph driving to do that. I'm hoping the warmer months will bring it down.

Yes, a lot of urban surface roads with traffic lights. Freeways as well like 101, 280, and Hwy 17 too. I typically use autopilot when I'm on surface roads and freeways.

I "drive" when I'm heading into the mountains. Consumption then goes very high (>900W in big hump) for miles at a time and is highly variable (traffic, cyclists, hikers). I try to head out when I think I can get a good open run. It's crazy, but this is hypermiling for me.

No. I try to keep my SoC 50-70% overnight and mostly charge at work every couple days or so. I use SuperChargers probably once or twice a month.

Do you use the scheduled departure feature for most of your trips?

That’s only applicable if you’re plugged in.

I’m also noticing better efficiency in this winter driving vs summer. Granted, we have some very mild winters so hardly need the heater, but warmer summers where the a/c is on full blast during midday drives

I'm at 262 wh/mi but have colder climate to deal with. Before winter arrived, I was around 242 wh/mi but it has since increased.

That's really good efficiency.

Some of us CA owners get a boost since we don't need to turn our heat on during winter, unless you're going somewhere to go skiing or snowboarding.

My PUP average is 268 wh/mi at 16k miles. I’m happy.

I'm only at 715miles right now, but should have 5,000 in four or five months. Now I have a goal to beat 262!!!

Thanks for the screenshot @mark95476, you just taught a Tesla nubie that I can rename the Trip Meters! I actually went looking for the "Lifetime -- DO NOT RESET" trip meter... . With only 800 miles, I had never tapped the 'three dots' to reset so didn't know I could rename.
