M3 AWD+
I'm driving the awd non performance and I cannot get the car under 180 wh/km.
I cannot figure out any way to reduce the usage.
I thought it was just me as well (have AWD non P). 1 have got 10 about 150 ish with very light foot or just a steady cruise on highway. In the city it’s really hard to get under 180.
I drove mostly highway on eAP and still only get 180 lowest. What speed were you driving on the highway to get 150??? That's impressive as heck I'm finding EAP very inefficient .
AWD is less efficient than RWD, so getting 150 I think will be good normal driving. Unlike the Model S, the AWD 3 apparently takes a bit of a range hit going to AWD (but still meets 500km rating at approx 150). Some independent testing validated this...I think I remember seeing AWD was about 8% less efficient than RWD alone.
This is based off of my first week, but also having driven 2 volts for almost 5 years and getting to know how to maximize range. Driving the 3 like I drove my volts and I can get around 140-150. It seems the RWD can get around 130 under similar conditions.
Remember a huge impact is also outside temp and terrain (in addition to how aggressively you accelerate). Given it has been relatively cool, I'm not surprised people are seeing 150-180 or worse.
Also, as far as EAP being less efficient...I wouldn't be surprised. EAP tends to slow down fairly late and accelerate more aggressively than I normally would if I was trying to maximize range. But given how large the battery is, I'm just going to enjoy driving and not worry much if I get slightly below 500km to a full charge...well actually since I charge to 90% I guess that's more like getting slightly less than 450 to a 90% charge. Coming from my Gen 2 Volt which would get me between 70-100km/charge I'm feeling quite comfortable.
