LR-RWD, Silver Metallic, EAP, August 2018 build, 18” tires Aeros off, delivered September 23, 2018
I cannot believe I have had this amazing car for a year now. I still get a rush every time I get in the driver’s seat. The car drives just as good today as when new. I have not had a single problem, unless you count a couple of bugs with updates that were fixed on the next update. The only maintenance has been DIY tire rotation every 5k miles. I do plan to change Cabin Air Filters at 15k miles.
I lost count of the feature improvements from OTA updates. What other car manufacturer keeps their cars up to date with current production models?
Lifetime Trip Meter Data:
14,864 miles
3,539 kWH (Trip Meter)
238 WH/mile
Average cost per mile = $0.02 [Mainly home charging @ $0.066/kWH + Supercharging]
I added a kWH meter on the breaker that feeds my 14-50 receptacle in January 2019.
Grid-to-Vehicle Charging Losses (February to September):
kWH Meter/Trip Meter = 1.22 Average
22% losses include Charging losses, Pre-heat, pre-cool, AC/Heat and accessories when not in gear, Vampire losses, etc.
Note: I am retired so I have a lot of short trips around town that are not good for efficiency.
