Six Months Today: Life with a Model S at 6 Months

I happen to have taken delivery one day later, and am celebrating 6 months today: 12,500 miles, average of 351wh/mi, and 100% agree with OP's review. I'd like to add that I just did my second range charge to see how the battery is doing: 298 ideal miles.
The view from 15,000 miles. Good for comparison to 10,000 miles, posted earlier.
Will hit 16,000 this week... will start a View from 15,000 miles thread for all to post their energy usage and comments...if not already done as a thread for all...

Big time thread hijack here...
I am sitting here at darien ct, on my way home from my 4th NYC trip, and approximately 10th supercharge.
It's been 2 months and a week, or so, since I got my vehicle and I have hit 6200 miles - pics to come shortly.
I just bumped into Aaron who was super charging before heading home - the tesla community is just absolutely amazing. I enjoy meeting and talking to all the owners. We are a cult
As I sit and reflect while the car charges, I reflect on my ownership experience - this car is absolutely amazing.!!! No doubt, one of the best cars that I have driven and a car that I plan to keep for ma years to come!

While it is a bit of a thread hijack...
miles per charge? ... unsure what is meant. If I charge daily but only drive 40 miles per day, then my miles per charge = 40. If looking for miles per charge as if the battery is always filled to full then drained to empty, I suppose your method would work.
I think the trip meter shown is very practical measurement. :smile:
If I have an 85 kwh battery and drive 40 miles and the battery has only 10% left when I'm done, then yeah, my milage was 40, but I sure as heck wasn't getting the range I should.
as a prospective owner, I care about what real world miles per charge people are getting (when you extrapolate it out to a full charge).
trip meter just says how far you've gone. Doesn't take into account how many discrete trips that includes (e.g. 4000 miles on 400 trips vs 4000 miles on 20 trips).
sorry if its a hijack, but people keep citing this number, including in this thread, and I wanted to figure out how I could translate it to something meaningful for a lay person.

It's a little more complicated as the firmware hides some capacity from you to a) prevent bricking and b) give you just a tiny bit more once you hit 0, but capacity in Wh/ (Wh/mile) gives you a good approximation.
Rated range is calculated with somewhere between 300 and 308 Wh/mile iirc. So people posting 340Wh/mile are getting about 10-13% less than advertised range...
what you're trying to say is the equivalent of MPG yes? Which I would also like to know, as it's what I'm used to in an ICE, but would love to know in a Tesla.
Check out the Lifetime Average thread. Use the formula (((Wh/mile * miles) / 1000) * your electric rate * 1.15) to get the amount paid then divide by the gas price to get gallons.
Example: (((258 Wh/mi * 8200 mi ) / 1000) * $0.09 * 1.15) = $218.9646
$218.9646 / $3.499 per gallon = 62.579 gallons
8200 mi / 62.579 gallons = 131.03 mpg
The divide by 1000 turns Wh/mile into kWh/miie
The 1.15 estimates the charging losses and load that isn't tracked by the display.
I didn't get the upgrade..... Yet! Next time Cliff does an east coast run, I most likely will. Pennies being saved right now for Parking Sensor Retrofit!!!

Just ask them how would they feel if they had to go to the gas station every few days to charge their phone.
