Proud owner of a baby blue Tes3===forum has been super helpful. So folks-- i tried 3 usbc -usb converts and the like in the back USBC ports- and you folks solved my problem. To use an Iphone- just get the Apple USBC cord- solved my problem.

Question:

I drove 18 Miles per Waze to a favorite restaurant and my battery went from 262 Miles to 234 or 28 miles less. I was driving primarily highway- and had AC on 73-74. This is fine when I am doing local driving.

I am scheduling my first big roadtrip to go to Orlando which is about 210 miles away-if I am starting at 290 miles on the battery- I have the 3 Long life battery-- I thought maybe I can drive 250 Miles- but now I see a hit of more than 30% so may be I can only drive 200..

What can I do to cut down the usage of the battery on the highway driving and is the 35-40% difference normal. I have also been seeing when I go 4-5 miles down the road to the supermarket--- my round trip instead of 8 miles is like 14-15 miles.

Finally-- I got a lease of 12000 miles- where can I see the odometer of what i actually drove- I assume its not the mile drivens per the battery but the actual miles driven.

Thanks so much
