Hello,
i am a newbie Model X 75D owner (20" stock wheels).
I've noted that the best "efficiency" (#miles driven/mile range used) I can get, with good weather and conservative driving is 80-85%.
Now that it's gotten colder in Wisconsin (temps ranging from 10-40 degrees F), my efficiency is down to ~60%.
I know that cold weather is a drag on EV battery performance, but 40% loss seems a bit excessive to me.
Do you think this is typical or is this a defective battery issue?
By the way, over the life of the car, (~4,000 miles), I have an average of 358 Wh/mi, but now I can't get it below 400 Wh/mi consistently.
Thanks in advance for your advice/tips!
I created a document with some anecdotes and specific examples (attached)
