So I have seen an increase in my Wh/mi hovering around 400-450Wh/mi in SoCal on city streets at speeds of 35-45mph. I read somewhere that the emergency/parking brake could be stuck, so I should try and put the car in neutral while driving and see if it "coasts."
Well, it 100% coasts and it's kind of scary how fast and well it does. But, when I attempt to brake, it's MUCH harder than I expected. Like I almost have to SLAM on the brake to stop the vehicle, does the weight of the Model 3, including the regenerative braking, actually "trick" the user into thinking our light press of the pedal works?
Also, is there anything else I can check to make sure it's not my brakes?
Thank you!
