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.

Don't worry. I average around 350 wh/mi with a Performance on 20s. I feel like if I drive under 330 wh/mi, i'm not driving it right. :D

LR RWD, mostly mixed freeway and city driving, going no faster than speed limit and the occasional burst off the line from a stoplight

With OEM aeros and tires: 225wh/mi (about 13k miles)

With 19" aftermarket wheels and Continental PureContact LS tires 235/40/19: 238wh/mi (about 7k miles)

255wh/mile. 25,000 miles. September 2018 Stealth M3. 18” aeros 100%. 1.5 mile in town commute and many 1-6 hour trips. Likely down to 250 wh/m by the two year mark, as cold weather in winter uses much more energy on short daily commute and, as noted, I bought in the fall.

I have the exact same config as you, @jlg32281 , but I live in Ottawa, Canada - so two cold winters take ~40% range off in cold weather. My average has been 323 wh / mile (201 wh / km) over 32,000 miles. I've also driven a 7,800 mile trip from Ottawa, through Texas to Monterrey Mexico, up to California and back which I did at 278 wh/m. :)

2020 LR AWD with 18” wheels, never used the aero caps. Took delivery in Dec 2020 now with ~4.5k miles. Got about 310 wh/m in the winter months (Ohio). Now down to 283 wh/m since delivery.

Two M3's in my house:
2018 LR RWD: 47k miles, lifetime average 209 wh/mi
2018 MR RWD: 34k miles, lifetime average 198 wh/mi

Both are 18" wheels with Aeros

Live in CT. We both drive mix of highway and two lane roads, and very conservatively (unless showing off for friends). Wife uses the climate (mostly AC) more than I do.
