Great information on helping to reduce wh/mi. Very consistent with the recommendations to improve mpg for hybrid vehicles, which I've driven for many years. I've put many miles on two Prius' which are now being used by other family members and still going strong. Without trying to focus on improving wh/mi my new Model Y LR has gotten 249 wh/mi over my first 2,000 miles and best rating of 236 wh/mi. I wonder if there's a sweet spot driving a Tesla at a certain speed to get the best wh/mi. My Prius' really liked a speed in the mid 40's to get the best mpg. I'm going to start actively using some of my hybrid techniques and recommendations in this conversation to see how I can improve my numbers. Granted, living in a warm climate is helping me considerably.
Here's some interesting information I pulled from ev-database.uk referring to Model Y LR:
Real Energy Consumption Estimationbetween 200 - 405 Wh/mi
City - Cold Weather * | 300 Wh/mi |
Highway - Cold Weather * | 405 Wh/mi |
Combined - Cold Weather * | 349 Wh/mi |
City - Mild Weather * | 200 Wh/mi |
Highway - Mild Weather * | 313 Wh/mi |
Combined - Mild Weather * | 254 Wh/mi |
Indication of real-world energy use in several situations. Cold weather: 'worst-case' based on -10°C and use of heating. Mild weather: 'best-case' based on 23°C and no use of A/C. For 'Highway' figures a constant speed of 70 mph is assumed. The energy use will depend on speed, style of driving, climate and route conditions.
