Lifetime Wh/mi

[Enz295]

How, or where can you see your lifetime Wh/mi?
The ODO shows total mileage, but is not showing the corresponding Wh used.
Is there a way to find that information?

If you press and hold either left or right scroll wheel, you can choose to display the energy consumption on either left/right side of the dash, respectively. It will show you the recent consumption (last 30 mi), since last charge and total.

 

[Enz295]

yes, but not lifetime (as per ODO reading)...

I've set one of my Trip meters as my lifetime meter. I've never reset it since purchase and never will so as long as that stays true, I have a lifetime reading of Wh/Mi. I lose the ability of a 2nd trip meter, but thats not a big deal to me since I hardly use the 1.

 

[Enz295]

yes that's what I figured. The only way if to use your 2nd trip as the lifetime one. But since I realized that too late, now it will never be a true lifetime usage...
Anybody has a way to do it?

I chose to display Trip A (that I never reset), so it is only a few miles off the ODO reading.

In my case then Total = Trip A. It's good enough for me, but YMMV.

Edit: Looks like you have already came to the same conclusions while I was writing this reply

Hi. On the touchscreen if you go to "Controls > Trips", you should see the Lifetime Wh/mi number. I thought after Tesla added Lifetime to this page, it was no longer needed to assign Trip A or B to Lifetime Wh/mi.

That is what I do.

I do not see a "Lifetime" setting in Controls>Trips. I am running the latest firmware release 2017.40.1 e29b97f

I have never heard of a "Lifetime" odometer setting in my nearly 4 years of Tesla ownership.

The only way to know your energy usage over the life of your Tesla is to do as @boelkers and others have noted.

Hi. I saw that here in message #146 and in #159 on the same page.

I just changed it on my car:



By the way, you can rename the labels that show up in blue.

You can rename the "Trip A" and "Trip B" to anything you want them to be.

My "Trip A": The Shire
My Trip B: Mordor

I re-named Trip A to "Lifetime" which is 15 miles less than the odometer, re-named Trip B to "Wheels" to record how many miles I have on the current set of tires.The other two defaults for since last charge and since whatever time serve my needs for trip data.

 

[boelkers]

re-named Trip B to "Wheels

Thats smart. I'll do this next time I replace the tires, if I remember...

Exactly. I've even renamed "Trip 2" to be "Since New."

Same here. I also rarely use Trip B since Nav has made that pretty much unnecessary and Tesla also keeps track of mileage for each drive and also since you last charged.

Thanks, now I understand. The "Lifetime" is simply a user defined label, not a specific setting you can select in Trips.
