Battery Efficiency Question?

[troyhouse]

Please see the attached pic, I am not really that well versed in battery technology and wanted to check with the group here on the battery efficiency for my car.

I just went to 800+ miles trip, driving almost at 65-70 mph range and minimal auto-pilot.

I am going to visit SC next week and wanted to check if I need to bring this up or not?

Thanks in advance.

That actually looks about right. As far as I'm aware, getting near 241 Wh/mi will get you the EPA range estimate, so you did slightly better than that.

is that a round trip? if not, you need to take into account total elevation gain/loss. HVAC use is also a big factor. That said, the efficiency number looks right for highway speeds.

Yes, it was round trip numbers. Thanks for looking at this, one less thing to worry about.

What were you questioning? Was the efficiency lower (worse) than anticipated? I would not go to the SeC to tell them your car is too efficient

Very close to what I have. What was your concern?

The title is a little confusing as it says 'battery efficiency'. The energy consumption is more driving efficiency. I don't have a Model 3 (yet) but from what I have seen 240 Wh/mle is a very reasonable consumption. Comparing those numbers is always difficult because road, weather, speed, driving style, temperature, wheels/tires, ... all affect consumption.
