Hi All,
We just completed a 1000 mile trip in our 2 month old MXLR. Overall it was a great experience. We came from a Model 3 LR RWD and this trip gave us quite a different impression about road tripping.
Our trip consisted of going from the Bay Area to San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara to Los Angeles and then back to the Bay Area. All together it's about 960 miles. On the way down, there was some light traffic so I wasn't going fast, at around 65-70 most of the time. The avg energy was 293 Wh/mi. That was my first surprise because I thought it would have been much higher. Upon returning home, it was a clear drive where I was averaging 78-80 most of the way and the energy avg was 319 Wh/mi. Overall I'm very impressed with those numbers. It exceeded my expectations for in terms of efficiency after hearing how many people complain about their crazy inefficiency.
Second, it's just so nice to see how much faster charging the X is. To go from 15% to 80%, it didn't take more than 30 minutes. With the extra space and how smooth of a ride the X is, I don't think we can go back to road tripping in our 3 anymore. About the smooth ride of the X, it's so stable and quiet even at higher speeds. I'm a very happy owner.
