Ok, now I'm not sure about these numbers anymore. Was mainly on the highway today between 65-75 and with the regen off the long offramps the average went down to 362 wh/mile. I haven't averaged lower than that in my month of ownership.

I've owned my MX for a year already. Time flies. Didn't remember to get readings the morning of the 1 year anniversary, but got them at work that day, so probably pretty close to a year on the nose. No road trips yet, but several valet trips to service early on. Those probably increased my Wh/mi a bit, but hard to say how much. Here were the anniversary readings:Took delivery of my X100D in late September with between 5.5 and 5.6 miles on the odometer.
Standard rims (staggered 20s) with ContiSilents.
Pirelli Scorpion winter tires on second set of standard rims installed sometime in December and removed March 24th or 25th.
Very mixed driving, range mode has always been off.
Not much chance of me remembering to reset the trip meter monthly, but I thought I'd post my lifetime numbers every now and again. Here are the current ones:
8,139.3 mi 3,065.8 kWh 377 Wh/mi
Wh/mi was 380 a week or so ago and has been slowly coming down as the weather has been more mild. I suspect it will start going back up when it gets hot, because I'll use the air conditioner regularly, but I typically only use the heat when it's below freezing. Hopefully I'm wrong and the cold battery makes range worse than the air conditioner, but I guess we'll see.
Sounds likely to be normal. My experience in heavy traffic is the consumption goes way up. Makes sense considering how much more time the A/C or heat are run in the same number of miles. Then there's facts like these:Hi,
I took delivery of my X 100D a month ago with 22” wheels.
Only drive in central London generally with journey times of 20mins on average.
I drive 15miles a day but the range reduces by around 35-40miles (my average Wh mi achieved is around 650), so a 90% charge is lasting me 5days if I’m lucky. I noticed the Wh mi is considerably worse when it’s cold first thing in the morning and heating is on.
Tesla tell me there is nothing wrong with the car and my driving style will change to adapt over the next six months but am I being lied to? Anyone else have very high Wh mi if they only ever do city driving and no highway? 650 seems ridiculously high given the other messages in this thread...
Is your battery warm when you leave in the morning? It's recommended to keeping your car plugged in. It's also recommended to charge for ~30min before you drive so the car isn't using range to initially warm up the battery and heat up the cabin. Oh, and with heat, it's also much more efficient to use the seat and steering wheel heaters rather than heating all the air in the cabin. Remember, there's no hot engine to suck hot air off of to heat the cabin so an EV has to use the energy in the battery to heat up the air.Hi,

Move to Florida?i am running at 454 right now this winter any ideas how to bring this down i was around 330 in the summer
I've got a P90D with 19" wheels and snow tires. I've been averaging about 430kh/mile.but it's only been about 400 miles. Temps in Colorado have been in the 30s so I'm hoping that's why the usage has been high.
City driving is less efficient than highway driving. I believe the misconception that electric vehicles are more efficient in the city may be prevalent due to the way a hybrid configuration skews things. In reality, while physics didn't change and highway driving is more efficient than city driving, hybrids have small batteries that aren't constantly in use, but are able to offset a larger part of the energy cost of city driving due to the frequent regen city driving entails.200 miles on new 75d 20" tires and wh/mile at 395. Unsure why its high as this is just city driving. Picking/dropping kids, hop to the freeway for 2 miles and then exit - you get an idea.

ETA: To elaborate a bit, while regen and acceleration are both less efficient than maintaining speed, the regen in a city allows a hybrid's more efficient electronic systems to offset the repeated new acceleration costs, but out on the open highway, the hybrid's less efficient ICE is relied on more heavily (even if some of the ICE waste energy is recaptured by the battery and reused to assist).
