I just hit 8k miles on the odometer and I'm curious how my energy usage compares to others. I've averaged 311 Wh/mi over 8k miles. What's your average?
Average wh/mi?

301wh/mi on my M3P on 5,300miles mainly 70-80mph on motorways, but it does have the m62 summit in the way.
Depends on your model 3 trim, wheel size/tire type, driving style, driving speed, weather, and altitude. There's no one number that fits all, too many variables.
I am at 250wh/mi with my SR+.

I realize there are a lot of variables which is why I posted the question. I'm not asking what should I be getting, I'm just curious how my usage stacks up with everyone else. I live in Southeast Texas which is extremely flat. The only hills we have around here are overpasses. I would define my driving style as spirited. Lol.
I have a model 3 long range dual motor but not performance. I'm running on stock wheels and tires but without the aero hubcaps. I do know that if I leave my display set to miles instead of percentage of battery left, I get about half of the range that it displays. In other words, I use energy much faster than what the car anticipates. I thought it would learn my driving style over time and adjust the range accordingly. I guess not.

Oof... At highway speeds I get around 310wh/mi with my M3P, 20" wheels.
Usually have climate control on though, even in summer you need heat in the UK.

I don’t race all the rice rockets here. To me sustainable transport, charge free with solar panels, no maintenance.
2020 M3P- with almost 7k miles averaging 287 lifetime. Delivered in December 2019 and was averaging 300+ during the winter and now 225ish past 2 months in NYC weather.

I mostly drive on the highway with a bit of city mixed in. I've taken some massive road trips. The 18 in aeros help a lot (usually about 2-4% more range).
I think it is about 280 Wh/mi over 12k for me. In winter it was about 300 Wh/mi, in nice spring weather it is goes as low as 220 Wh/mi. It all also depends on how aggressive you drive. I can get 400 Wh/mi or more easily if I launch the car at every occasion.
311 Wh/mi looks a little bit too high, but I wouldn't be surprised if you use heating/ac, frequent accelerations, and drive on thin tires.

You know sometimes trying to be helpful doesn't quite work out, yes?
