Still Trying to Figure This All Out
It looks like you picked two close cars. What about the outside temp at 50 degrees F? Is that realistic for CHG at this time of the year?

It looks like a reasonable estimate for the IN and KY drive.It looks like you picked two close cars. What about the outside temp at 50 degrees F? Is that realistic for CHG at this time of the year?
OK - so here are the results of my first fairly short road trip (142 miles round trip) from NJ to the Tannersville, PA SC. MX is new with 600 miles on the odometer.
Temps were in the mid to high 30's, quite windy. Heat set at 68 deg. Trip is hilly with positive elevation change going up to the Pocono Mountains and negative coming home to NJ (+/- 571'). 2 people in the car and driving at 75 mph most of the way.
NJ to PA: Actual Mileage 71, Rated miles used 98, Avg KWh 430, elevation change +571' (from EV Trip Planner)
PA to NJ: Actual Mileage 71, Rated miles used 81 (lots of traffic leaving the outlet mall), Avg KWh 355, elevation change -571'
Going NJ to Richmond, VA next weekend so we'll see how we do on a flatter, longer trip.
392 average is way better than my 425 average. Only big difference is I have the 22" wheels. But, I'm not doing 75 MPH and not in 30 degree weather. Tesla service is now replacing the HV battery cables. Thy seem to think that I'm no getting proper "connection" to the front motor and possibly power is not transferring there during cruising, resulting in higher W/mile. We shall see.
I have the option to buy an EU Model X Founders by Referral. As the tires/rims seem to have a significant impact (according to the posts in this thread of 10%) on the range I'm not sure if it's a good idea to select the 22' rims.
My expectations are that the Model X P90DL will at least achieve 300-350 km range driving on German Highways at about 100-120 km/h. Is this realistic?
Can someone please provide information about the typcal range (not rated) shown after a full charge?
I made up that Model X line in the table using the 65 to 75 mph differences. I'm not sure now tho that the X will go 250 miles at 65 mph. You should read that article and related ones. The range maybe less than you think. Also not the other posters great point about 100% to 0%. Our USA superchargers are rougthly 125 miles apart so we are OK here.Thank you for the range estimation of the different Model S and X variants. According to the table the Model X P90DL would achieve a range of 340 km driving at 120 km/h.
If this is realistic under normal weather conditions that's OK for me. A range below 300 km at moderate highway speed would be a problem.
I understand that the values in your table are based on a theoretical calculation. Based on that I'd expect a 20% lower range for the Model X than the corresponding Model S.
But what is your daily experience? What is the value for "typical range" when you charge the Model X to 100% (or X%)? How far could you go on a single charge and what was the remaining range? What is the energy consumption when driving at highway speed?
I like your table, thanks for sharing.
I also did a "range fact" table some weeks ago. Only the tire size on the X are approximations (the one for the model-S are factual)
Good question. I'm driving on two different trips and directions this Fri and Sat/Sun. I plan on using Auto-Pilot for as much as I can.<snip>
It would be nice if there were more actual numbers to compare. I realize there aren't a lot of MXs out there but it seems like there would be more discussion of personal experience. Maybe on a different thread?
