Does this look right?

[atlchamp]

Hey guys so it’s been about a week since I’ve had my model Y performance and I love the car but I’ve been doing some reading over the forums and I was looking at my wh/ mile and mine seem pretty high but I wanted to gauge yalls insight. My driving habits are pretty normal I don’t do any fast takeoffs or heartbreaking.

That is too short of a drive to properly gauge the energy usage for a LOT of reasons. Test it over a bunch of drives and lots more miles.
And keep in mind it is affected by air conditioning, wind, elevation changes, etc etc.
Use a more descriptive title in the future instead of something generic like "Does this look right?"

Agreed. Also, your signature says Atlanta - what’s the temp down there right now? If the A/C is going full bore to cool off the cabin that will suck a ton of power

It’s been close to 100° every single day for the past four days lol

bummer. That is why I mention air conditioning as I saw you were in Atlanta and likely using a lot of AC during your driving.

Last couple months of stats for June, May , April, top to bottom, from Teslamate. Your data sample size is probably too low to be useful at this point and for sure the heat is going to impact vs where I live.

Yeah I figured it was the AC for sure it’s been so hot down here and really across 2/3 of the country. Any tips or tricks that I can do to save battery from somewhere else?

Where do you live where temperatures are still in the 50s and 60s?

While plugged in, especially in the A.M. before you leave, turn on the Climate Control for ~5 minutes before you leave via the Tesla app (tap the fan icon on the main app screen.) This will cool (or heat) the passenger cabin to your preferred temperature, replenish any power taken from the lithium battery from the grid. Try and use covered parking during the day to keep the passenger cabin from heating up in the sun. Cabin Overheat Protection (COP), if you set this Safety setting to be On, will use the AC while parked to maintain the cabin at or under 105F. Be aware that this can use 6 or 7 kWh over 8 hours (~750Wh/hour). The COP with No AC (HVAC Fan Only) setting uses about 1/3 of the power that the COP with AC uses but can't maintain the passenger cabin to a maximum of 105F (but still cooler than if COP is turned off.)

Tinting the glass windshield, other side glass with a good ceramic tint can help. A sunshade for the glass roof can also improve comfort while driving (sun feels less intense with a mesh sunshade installed.) Tinting the glass roof can provide some benefit but the glass roof comes with factory UV and IR (heat) rejection treatment so the improvement is less than for the windshield, other side glass and rear glass.

Its a small sample size
But i can tell ya its the A/C blasting i avg about the same with temp set at 70 degrees when i get off work even when i have the cabin pre conditioned before i leave its been 105F+ here in el paso for weeks, my drive from work to home is about 350Wh/mi can be worse if I don’t pre condition over 400Wh/mi like yours

In the morning from home to work is like 215Wh/mi temps are at about 80F

Also make sure u turn off cabin overheat protection its rly pointless imo and drains a lot


On a similar note

Change my Mind
A/C uses more energy at 100+ temps than the heater heat pump at below 32 degrees

If only it were in my profile ;-)

Seattle area, summer is fairly delayed this year, its been cool and wet (which is fine by me honestly).
