I'm at 232 in my LR AWD. Bought used, about 2,000 miles driving since May.

That's great! Do you do much highway driving?

I mostly drive on the highway with a bit of city mixed in. I've taken some massive road trips. The 18 in aeros help a lot (usually about 2-4% more range).

I just hit 8k miles on the odometer and I'm curious how my energy usage compares to others. I've averaged 311 Wh/mi over 8k miles. What's your average?

I think it is about 280 Wh/mi over 12k for me. In winter it was about 300 Wh/mi, in nice spring weather it is goes as low as 220 Wh/mi. It all also depends on how aggressive you drive. I can get 400 Wh/mi or more easily if I launch the car at every occasion.
311 Wh/mi looks a little bit too high, but I wouldn't be surprised if you use heating/ac, frequent accelerations, and drive on thin tires.

is lifetime 270wh/mi high?

Lifetime Wh/mi

You know sometimes trying to be helpful doesn't quite work out, yes?

I realize there are a lot of variables which is why I posted the question. I'm not asking what should I be getting, I'm just curious how my usage stacks up with everyone else. I live in Southeast Texas which is extremely flat. The only hills we have around here are overpasses. I would define my driving style as spirited. Lol.

I have a model 3 long range dual motor but not performance. I'm running on stock wheels and tires but without the aero hubcaps. I do know that if I leave my display set to miles instead of percentage of battery left, I get about half of the range that it displays. In other words, I use energy much faster than what the car anticipates. I thought it would learn my driving style over time and adjust the range accordingly. I guess not.

Don't worry. I average around 350 wh/mi with a Performance on 20s. I feel like if I drive under 330 wh/mi, i'm not driving it right.

Thanks!
