Reno to sf with two stops ended up 297 wh/mi.
I've thought about this scenario many times since it applies to me as well. I ended up buying the MYP for the faster car, ability to "downgrade" to a 50% lighter wheel (from 40 lbs for each OEM to about 20 lbs for an 18" wheel) which will yield me better mileage than an MYLR (which comes with 19" 30lbs wheel), and most importantly, a "Track Setting" setup which is only available in the MYP. If I take my gas car, I would still stop at least once during the 400 mile round trip to pee, gas-up and/or getting something to eat. This takes me at least 15 minutes which is enough charging time. Worst case, I'll watch one of my YT shows on top of that 15 minutes. That short charging session would be more than enough to get me home where I will continue to charge for the next day. But the BIG GAIN is doing that trip with the standard autopilot which takes quite a bit of pressure out of driving...
Great info - thanks! I bet we can get much better mileage by switching to 18" Martian wheels which weigh around 20 lbs (vs around 39 lbs EACH for the 21" Ubers). But they are super expensive and likely not cost effective if we're after mileage cost savings.
I went a little cheaper by going tsportline. While not forged or as light at 23 lbs a wheel i secured a set with tpms and Michelin pilot sport A/S for 3200 shipped. They have tesla tpms and the wheel were recognized once they were mounted. The increase in range is marginal. One short trip usually shows 304 wh/mi and on the 18’s it was 288 wh/mi. The real savings is from being able to rotate the tires and possibly having them last longer, and buying a new set at half the price. I reckon instead of paying 2k a set I can secure a 18 inch set for 1k. And having an older P I have a softer ride. The pirellis were getting loud at 20k miles. The ps4 a/s are much quieter.
Yea if you’re doing fast runs and 0-60 pulls it’s about 150 miles of range but it will charge back up at a super charger in like 20 min. Also that’s driving in a 20 mph headwind and I may like to hit 120mph sometimes on on-ramps. I just drove from Vegas to texas and you basically just have to stop at every station to ”fill upl for 20 -30 min the whole way . The trip Only took about 3 hours longer than in my ice vehicle and cost half as much as it would have been for my old car that gets 24 mpg. Also 82kwh is not usable. You only get 76kwh the rest is not usable. The battery must never be fully drained. the trip to see your customer will most likely involve a $20+ 10 min supercharge each way. Unless you go 65-70 the whole time.
You would rename Trip B to Lifetime and never reset this trip odometer.
Most of the time I have a mountain bike on the back or on the roof. My OEM tires lasted about 25k.wow, 380! I’ll be worry getting tickets left and right. Lol
if doing speed limit get u avg 250 ish , u must be going over 20 easily or stepping on it every chance u get. How’s ur tire life?
u can still be in the 200 with some care and some fun. Some days, I’ll take it easy. Some days, I need to remind myself why I got a P. I still get 280 ish with some fun. If I tried to get over 350, i probably get myself in some trouble. Haha
this is why we love our Y. U can be efficient or have some fun.
