Place your bets - longish trip in SR+ tonight

My wife has the gift of 20/20 hindsight and she says 21%

Your wife can have a 'Like'

You posted this too early and didn't let me have a chance to post my 23% .... but I also have sr+ .
Seems pretty good. I usually work on just under 2 miles per %

Was I closest ?

Lol that would have won! I was surprised by the 260w/mile I was getting especially in the cold weather.

Yes ... encouraging result for the SR+

I live just up the road from Little Eaton (Holbrook). Not seen a black m3 around those parts?? Are you local or visiting?

Oh, and 15%

There's a black M3P on Oakwood. Also regularly parked at the Holly Bush in Makeney late on Sunday afternoons

 

[Ukmgranger]

Nice! Must get down there for a pint soon!

I've also spotted a blue M3 in Holbrook a few times too! Thought we'd be the first in the village with one

The winner/s who guess the % correctly will get a 'Like' from me in this Thread

I'm just about to travel from Derby to the SuC near Portishead (near Bristol) in 1 hit and minimal stops.

The competition is - What will my battery level be when I arrive at the 'End' location address below

You can take all the fun out of this by using apps such as EV trip optimiser for Tesla. Pretty accurate.

I suspect many of us did. But still many unknowns to create large variance.

 

[davidmc]

I was surprised that I got there with more battery than I did, ABRP told me 15% with all my variables and the Tesla car map said 17%. I also drive normally, even with a few sprints off the line at traffic lights as you do!

what were your tyre pressures?

what were your tyre pressures?

42 to all

Let’s do one of these parked up at an airport for 2 weeks to guess Vampire Loss

Sounds good, who is off on holiday soon?

What inputs did you use? I plugged in Standard Range Plus RWD (alpha), 7C, 90kg, depart with 100%.
ABRP was predicting 270 Wh/mi and arriving with 28% so I knocked a few % off for the wind/rain and came up with a prediction of 25%.

Generally I find the Nav is more pessimistic for my MS so I was surprised you were getting 17% from the Nav but only 15% from ABRP. The Nav seems to vary over the seasons so I think it takes temperature into account but ABRP does a better job - ABRP is based on real-world journeys & doing a great job of modelling energy consumption/range (and Supercharging times) on that basis. The only thing I'm suspicious of is traffic data, I'm not sure if ABRP takes it into account and if it does it presumably uses live data which isn't much use if planning a future journey.

 

[Mr Miserable]

I find that the ABRP supercharging times are a bit optimistic and I add 20% to get a more realistic figure.

Sorry, I'll stop choosing the supercharger next to you. I just normally head for the stall with the sad looking git charging next to it.
