I also drive about 75% on the road...but i'm getting 153KW lifetime on mine. I just Chill mode to drive a lot and make use of regenerative breaking a lotFYI, I have a P3D and I consistently get 205+ Wh/km.
I mainly drive within the city though. So there is a lot of stop and go.

Fyi, stop and go is actually better for EV than ICE. Slower is better since you're using less energy and trying to fight wind less. Even with stopping and going.. regen makes up a good chunk of that. Better than trying to drive 120 the whole time.
Your 205+ makes me feel better about my 180 average on my AWD (non P)
Are you using the aero covers or not ?
Why put regen on low? If it’s because you like cruising, I would consider you getting used to the accelerator as with just enough pressure it can still be achieved with normal regen. Regen is a godsend on EV cars, I don’t really understand why people turn it off apart from them not being used to it and unwilling to change habits.i have 20" wheel. And i do not care about energy saving. So stop and go means that every time i will step on the pedal and be the first one to blast forward. I turn low on regen braking and my car is always in sports mode. Totally taking car performance over energy saving.
So 205+ is the worst you can get with a model 3.

Paint, 100%First drive on Nokian R3s (151Wh/km with 18°C cabin temp setting and after market rims) - I miss my Aero. Going back to Kal Tire today to re-torque and get the PSI balanced. That rear right wheel!
Final question - to paint calipers or not to paint ??

I know it’s their choice and I know what putting it on low does. I’m saying that if you learn how to use the accelerator pedal properly you can get the best of both worlds.Turning it to low for transition or familiarity is fine. It's the same amount of energy recovered if no brakes are applied - just over a longer distance. And it's their choice .
Are you going to keep these as your dedicated winters going forward?

I know we're not even into the cold yet here in the GTA but I have not been able to keep my heater off or even below 21 for more than a few minutes. I guess I've always enjoyed the 'free' heat in the ICE and like it warm. I also like having a steady light flow of outside air coming in. Haven't needed to worry about range but I'm trying to adapt to get a feel for what I can do in the real winter.First drive on Nokian R3s (151Wh/km with 18°C cabin temp setting and after market rims) - I miss my Aero.
A heated blanket from home Depot works wonders bought one a few years ago for $20. That plus heated seats goes a long way if you need it to. More necessary in a volt which is where I used them. Model 3 shouldn't need it with the huge battery.I know we're not even into the cold yet here in the GTA but I have not been able to keep my heater off or even below 21 for more than a few minutes.

A 40% range drop when it's -20C outside and you are using the cabin heater is about par for the course with an EV unfortunately. -20C is super cold though and a very extreme case, but unless you use no heat in the winter expect about a 25-35% range drop in the cold months.Anyone else feel like their range is taking a massive beating with only somewhat cool weather (5C-12C)? Anyone worried about the range at -20C?
My wife is not happy about the range drop so far. We don't have winter tires on yet, and we're not excessively using the heat/seat heaters, but the range (shown next to the indicator) is dropping by about 1.5 - 2.0 times the distance driven (and we're not over driving it -- I've got it in Chill mode to reduce the temptation...).
The average showing in the Energy screen is typically now about 180-200 Wh/km -- and in the "trip counters", around 160-180 Wh/km (we were getting around 140-160 Wh/km before it started to get cold).
Not sure if the trip counters are the most "correct", but the range estimation for the battery indicator seems to be very poor (or the resulting range is poor in colder weather). At the rate it's progressing, we're anticipating a range loss of about 40-50% when it gets to around -20C. Even before it got cold, we saw a range drop of about 20 km since purchase as indicated by the battery indicator when at 90% charge in the morning.
Fortunately we have a Tesla and not a small-battery-EV, and the range far exceeds our normal daily use -- I'd not like to think how little range some of the smaller EV or PHEV get in the dead of winter. It may however, put a dent in ski trips using the EV, and we may have to fall back to the hybrid.
How are others finding it with the cooler weather?

@rdturner0 How many km's are you at when 90%? I'm testing mine and got 427km at 90%.
