Today it was about +3C, had a trip from Toronto to Niagara Falls, and my Tesla model 3 shows 183 Wh/km battery consumption.
Is it good, bad, or maybe normal?
For Toronto to Niagara, and assuming you had heat on; yes that would be a fairly good efficiency since the heater still taps a fair bit of energy from the battery.Today it was about +3C, had a trip from Toronto to Niagara Falls, and my Tesla model 3 shows 183 Wh/km battery consumption.

If it’s sunny you may not need any climate. I just drove Edmonton to Calgary with HVAC off the whole way. It was below zero the entire trip but I was nice and warm. No jacket or gloves. The 3 is much tighter than my S was.If you put climate on manual, no AC and fan speed on 1 you should be able to get close to rated Wh (150) even at temps around 0C, yesterday was +7C according to display, I got 161wh farting around town shopping, groceries etc.. over 100km

In the summer when it's warmer that same trip should get you much closer to 150 wh/km if you have an AWD (non performance), and likely around 130-140 if you have a RWD.

Drove from Toronto to Montreal yesterday. Temp was about 3 - 4 degrees C but high winds and driving rain for almost the entire trip.
Total trip was 548.7 km, using 126 kWh and average 230 Wh/km.
Heading back from Montreal to Toronto today. Probably leaving Mtl with about 60%, - abetterouteplanner is suggesting Cornwall and Belleville. Will play it by ear depending on weather etc. (It is unfortunate that Cornwall is "so far" off the highway compared to some of the other chargers. Other than the bathroom in the hotel, not much else going around right near by when it is cold and winter out.
I spent quite a bit of time in Kingston. I don’t recall exactly but may have been around 35-40 minutes. Charge speed starts pretty high but I find that the speeds throttle back pretty aggressively (possibly more so than at Cornwall - and at Kingston there was only one other car charging). I know rated range is only aspirational especially in the winter- but going from 96% to 14 or 15% to get from Toronto to Kingston (only about 250 km) with 2 passengers and the heat barely on is a cautionary tale.
At Cornwall, speeds actually started higher and didn’t seem to throttle back as aggressively - likely wasn’t there more than 15 maybe 20 minutes
Question - I record this information manually while sitting at the SC. Do any of the third party programs record trip based stats like this that could “automate” this recording process?
204 Wh/km?! Wow - I have never come close to that. Heat on or off? Average driving speed?
195 Wh/km from Belleville to Cornwall averaging 115km/h at -1C
