I'm delighted to see the thread is still going after all this time. Keep these stats coming! My average has been coming down steadily through our first year of ownership, with my lifetime average after 14500 miles now at 302Wh/mi. I expect that will come back up a little as it cools down. With less than a month to our first year Teslaversary it looks like we're getting very close to rated range, something I've never been able to say about any other vehicle I've owned.

Checking in...
November numbers spiked up due to colder weather and rain:

Nov: 1,733.7, 614.6, 354
Tot: 9,952.9 mi, 3278.6 kWh, 329 Wh/mi

 

[mknox]

November 2013 numbers:

1985.9 miles
716.3 kWh
361 Wh/mi

Actual energy input: 955.1 kWh
Actual Wh/mi: 480.9

Lifetime:

16,731.6 miles
5,459.1 kWh
326 Wh/mi

Once again, we can see a significant difference between what the car reports for kWh (716.3) vs. the actual amount input (955.1) for November. I have 238.8 kWh (33%) "lost" to charger inefficiency, vampire losses and so forth.

With less than a month to our first year Teslaversary it looks like we're getting very close to rated range, something I've never been able to say about any other vehicle I've owned.

I've always managed to come close to the EPA MPG figures on my past cars, but I do mostly freeway driving which helps. If I rely only on the Tesla's trip meter, I do with that car as well. The problem is that the Tesla's trip meter does not seem to account for what I call "spillage" or the energy wasted in the charger and the energy that is lost to the standby "vampire". This is akin to spilling gasoline at the gas station and having a slow leak in your gas tank. In a gas car, you'd pay at the pump for that fuel that is wasted, and with the Tesla, I pay at the electricity meter for wasted kWh's as well.

Adding dates and making it easier to track myself. Last line is latest. As before, trip A is everything except the 20-21 miles I had at delivery; ignore trip B.

A small uptick, probably a combination of weather and a 90-100 mile round trip this weekend, a bit hilly and probably more heat than needed. ;-)

- - - Updated - - -

Ah...those were lifetime numbers; I forgot some folks are including monthly numbers. I'm going to reset trip B and try to remember to note those.

We have a 5+ hour-each-way trip in December (Supercharging!) with several days of atypical usage (non-work), pus several days at the end of the month out of town without the car (sniff, sniff). So, December numbers and my running total will probably be a bit out of whack. Or maybe it'll just balance out the increased heater usage as things get cold. ;-)

Okay, brain power low after a weekend away. Here are my pix. ;-) I had trouble with the site earlier (or rather, my 'net connection), and when I finally got posting working, I forgot about the pix.

I forgot to add my October numbers...

rats - I was using Trip B to track my lifetime numbers. Did not think about it but went in for Annual Maint and among other things they replaced my 12V battery. So my trips were reset! I have numbers from a few months ago but did not think to grab the latest before the service. Oh dear. Little details.

Ok, finally jumping in... A is a couple weeks, B is lifetime as of delivery and the drive home.

Oh yea. My car is a P85 with 21" wheels. And state is CA.

Interesting, I'm tempted to reset on my 1 year anniversary Tuesday just to restart the tally and then maintain an annual comparison.

Interesting, I've had my 12V battery replaced twice and my trip meters have never been reset...

It seems like most of my trips are 290-310 now, it's just so hard to move the average down after 14,000 miles...

It would be interesting to correlate tire replacement to average energy use.

BadA** turns one on the 8th. I'll have had her for an entire year. It's been a wonderful ~20k miles to say the least. I'm at 332 wh/mi - which seems slightly higher than most of y'all. I chalk it up to running 80-85 mph on some of these Texas roads. Or my propensity to merge quickly. Or passing. Or whatever. Tires to be rotated (again) this week. … 85/19".

Updated numbers. Lost two Wh/mi on my Thanksgiving holiday. And used just over 6.2MWh total energy.

I have had my girlfriend for 1 year!!!!
373 16778 CA 85 21
monthly data + power used for driving each month

total of 6260 kWhr used

 

[Cliff Hannel]

344 Wh/mi, pretty consistent. P85 with 21" wheels, 11 months, about 19k miles here in SoCal.
BUT: I think with software 5.x the measurement and calculations have changed (higher), so not sure we can compare 4.x to 5.x consumption numbers.

 

[merlynhough]

Since our red 85kwh (19" wheels) arrived 9/19/2013, we have driven 3,668 miles at 370 wh/mi through 11/30/2013. So about 50 mi/day average. At this rate, about 18k mi/yr.

You are 100% correct. I asked similar questions of my ownership experience rep (yes, I still contact him) and that was confirmed. The new software is more "conservative" for both range and usage. I don't know why. But that's the email.

Update:

9,744 Miles Total, 292Wh/mi, 2837.6kWh Total, 60KWh battery, 19" Wheels, Burlington WI

Notes:

-Still no issues with the car. Has not seen the SC since I picked it up on 8-1-2013 (knock on wood).
-Last Range charge: 209 miles rated (in warm garage). 204 miles rated (cold soaked at about 25F).
-Wh/mi has been creeping up during this fall into winter. Have been experimenting with suitable high efficiency modes. My best results are with: Range mode on, heat set to 65-68, A/C off (Manual), Recirc On (Manual), Vent to Floor and Front vents (Manual), Fan speed 3-4 (Manual) seat heat @2. This usually keeps the cabin plenty warm and is enough to keep the windows from fogging up as long as it doesn't get too cold. I have had to crank up the heat to 68+, fan speed 5, and adding defrost vent (Manual) when it gets really cold (10F<) to keep the windows from fogging. If range is not a concern, just setting everything to auto and defrost does the job.
-I have found that to get the most out of a range charge, a fully warmed up battery is required. Usually helps to preheat the car with range mode off for the period of charging from 90% to 100% if the battery is cold soaked.
-Still running FW4.5, just can't give up the low suspension setting.
