Model 3 Wh/km

I think I may be the least efficient of the group so far! I’m at 165 Wh/km and I’ve left my Aero covers on since day one. So far I’ve logged 10,200 km including a roadtrip to Tennesee that we just came back from.

I use Standard regen, but no Chill mode for acceleration. I don’t precondition and I have cabin overheat protection set not to use the AC. My commute is almost 100% highway, half being 400-series and half with an 80 speed limit.

My average is actually worse, I'm at 4700km with an average of 172 Wh/km. It's getting slightly better overall but a lot of times going to work I average 230 wh/km.
 
Wow guys those numbers are impressive! I'm 210 lifetime over 130,000km on my S60. Sounds like the 3 is roughly 25% more efficient in the real world. Really makes the supercharging 'speed' much better as well as you regain those kms so much faster than an S, and especially an X.
 
How the hell are you guys getting really low Wh/km?

I have 19” sport wheels;

Lifetime 157 Wh/km (3500km)
Recent Niagara Trip 142 Wh/km and I was trying to make the most out of the battery that day.

Are you guys driving slow or not hitting it hard once in a while? Curious

On highway, I set cruise to 110 and stick to the middle lane. AutoPilot keeps the revving to a minimum unless I need to get around the idiots doing 80 in the middle lane and fhe morons doing 135 in the left lane. :)
 
5,231 Km total. Average is 140 wh/km. Mostly 401 driving Toronto to Kingston and return. 19" aftermarket rims and tires, though in my opinion the size of the wheels is not a factor in range. Total wheel weight will have some effect, and the type of tire will also have some. Biggest factor is speed. I usually do the speed limit on autopilot and just relax.

Yeah me too but I didn't think of it for a couple of charges so it's a little behind my odometer.
I’m pretty happy with the consumption.

And it can be really low when I’m somewhat hypermiling

I don’t think I could do an entire road trip at 110 km/h. Not saying I super speed but I usually set the cruise around 126 - 128 km/h and even then I am barely keeping up with traffic. Of course, once I get my 3 and I see the impact that speed has on range, I may be singing a different tune.
