Highest Wh/mi?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Just curious, what’s the highest Wh/mi people have seen with their Model 3?

I have a 2022 Model 3 LR with 11.5k miles. I hit 8,135 Wh/mi while leaving work today. It was “only” 111 degrees today (was 116 degrees on Tuesday).

It's just misleading math. The math itself is correct, but it paints a picture that's not very useful. You drove .0001 miles but used 10 minutes of A/C... so, yeah... the numbers look really bad.

I think Tesla should not show these stats until a minimum distance has been met... perhaps 1 mile... and then don't count the consumption that happened before the mile.

As EVs continue towards mass adoption, these types of stats are going to cause people to make unnecessary service appointments.
 
I've been wanting to start a thread with highest and lowest 30 mile average wh/mi, as a competition. You have to show a screenshot of the graph.
My worst efficiency in a 2022 Model 3 Performance was leaving the track after 10 passes down the 1/4 mile Dragstrip. It includes the 10 miles Hypermiling from the Supercharger to the track to conserve battery. 508 Wh/mi actually isn’t too bad considering how fast I was going at the track.

My best efficiency was 150 Wh/mi for 12 miles with an average speed of 55 mph. That is my daily highway commute to work.

My best efficiency on a long trip was 219 Wh/mi for 220 miles with an average speed of 60 mph. That was with the 20” UberHeavy wheels too.

It is absolutely incredible how fast this car is and then how efficient it can be when you are just cruising down the highway.

It would be nice if they separated drivetrain energy usage from everything including climate

Yeah, it dropped to about 4,000 when I hit 1 mile and continued to drop as the miles went on. I averaged 468 Wh/mi after 30 miles.

Since you asked, lowest I have a picture for is this:
1663012261055.jpeg

This was coming into Medford, OR on 9/1 after exiting I5, 94 degrees outside, with AC set to 70, and driving the speed limit +/- 5.
Too bad my picture after going down Pikes Peak last August was only a 5mi average at -400 Wh/mi, so doesn't count...
