On the contrary, other than the A/C a Tesla uses virtually no power while sitting in traffic, unlike an ICE sitting there burning dino juice just so that it doesn't stall. If you accelerate gently (and/or leave the acceleration to TACC in such traffic, which is really the right answer) then you're range may often be better in such traffic than on the highway.
Can you explain this a little more as I have a 60 on order and should be getting within the week?
I have 95% of my commute is stop and go traffic to and from work. Its about 13 miles one way.
Are you saying once I get into a lane on the highway, put Autopilot/TACC on and just let it do its thing for best results for stop and go driving?
Thanks for this info.
