    This morning I was parked on the top level of a parking garage, and driving down I used mostly Regen and got the best efficiency I think I will ever see in my model 3 :rolleyes:

    Converted to the 75 kwh battery capacity, that means I should get 2,344 km to a full charge :eek:

    Wait, my math was wrong. It's 2,419 km to a charge...not including Phantom losses of course :)

    That's nothing.. start at the top of a big enough hill and your consumption will be negative. Unlimited range!

    My parents live at the top of a hill. After visiting them I can go all the way into town, almost 6 miles, with a negative wh/mi number. Right when I get to the bottom of the hill it will show as high a -300wh/mi. I think that is cool

    This was my best. 5,400 ft. change in elevation for a charge of a net gain of 4.231 kWh over 17 miles.

    Ok, so maybe my title was a little over-estimated :)

    Sorry for the blurrycam, but this was our descent into Death Valley in the spring. Unfortunately we don't quite have terrain like this in Ontario! IMG_0436.jpg
