My energy usage has gone up slightly with the cold as well.
Don't forget to adjust your tire pressures to compensate for the cold weather.
Which means that your pressure is too low - the pressure is designed to be on cold tires.That is an excellent point. With the drop in temperatures my TPMS warning has been on when I first get into the vehicle. It goes away after the tires warm up.

Vampire loses aren't included in the wh/mile figures that the car provides...
is this statement correct? Reason I ask - last four days I've not been where I can charge, but my daily commute has been only 5-6 miles, all of it at 35 mph or less. My average Wh/mile over the last 15 miles is nearrly 400, where I usually average under 300 with a 25 mi/day commute that is a little faster but not at highway speeds. In N FL, so its not cold.
Other explanations besides vampire consumption is affecting the average because the number of miles driven has been so low? Anything to be concerned about? Good news is I'll be home tonight, so will see if the average Wh/mile goes down.
This is why the numbers were "so high" on the first deliveries in 2012 -- the vehicles arrived into cold(er) weather driving conditions. I think uniformly the consumption rates have gone down as the weather turned nicer, and I expect the rates to rise again in similar fashion as we progress into October+.10,800 miles, 313wh/mi. It was 311 but I've had to start using the heater in the last week (500 miles or so, averaging 345wh/mi now )
As someone who's recently been running 19s (but have most of my miles on 21s), how should this be reflected in the data? I'm hesitant to post my numbers because the data isn't "pure 21" data anymore. (Even though the numbers haven't moved much.)
In part because of this, I've started "testing my comfort levels" with leaving the climate control off and the seat heater on 1 and "dressing accordingly". Both to see how I like it (or don't) and to evaluate the impact on efficiency compared to what I remember from last year.
That's my thinking too. CC definitely does have impact -- turning it off bought me some range last year in tight spots -- but I suspect the battery heating is a more dominant factor.My sense is that the battery heater is the big culprit and that cabin heating is of lesser consequence. I assume the pack heater does it's thing regardless of where you set the cabin temp.
