Long story short we have to travel to see family at Christmas. They live 250 km (160 miles) away and there is zero charging infrastructure on the way - not even a 14-50 outlet somewhere I could add a few % to the car. I've done the trip several times since getting the car and normally arrive with about 38-40% battery left when I leave with 90% or so.
Car is a 2021 M3 Performance. I have 18" snow tires and wheels installed.
Has anyone with a LR/Performance heat pump car got any real world data on Wh/km or Wh/mi in cold temps? By cold I mean like -20°C (-4°F). ABRP suggest I will use 258 Wh/km at that temp with a slight headwind. Speed limit is 100 km/h or 60 mph.
First winter with the car so I really have no idea what the consumption will be. I think I am pretty safe - it would likely need to be close to 300 Wh/km to not make it 250 km. But also don't want to strand the family on the Christmas trip when we could just take our gas SUV. I just much prefer the Tesla plus it is way cheaper to drive on a trip.
Family has a 6-50 outlet in a heated building so there are no worries about recharging when I get there. Just hoping for some real world data. I've looked through the master thread about frozen charge ports and such but there is very little discussion there about consumption on the highway in the winter, especially with the new heat pump cars. I know winter is just starting but hoping someone has had some experience!
