Unless you go up a mountain and don’t come down the other side, I’d expect a LR to never struggle to hit 200 miles even at faster than motorway speed (within reason)

Of course. The reason I pick up on these things is that we get many posts on the forum from people who have bought an EV and then feel that the range has been misrepresented. It's just that readers sometimes don't appreciate the full picture. I'm all for celebrating excellent range stats but it's worth adding a note of caution when posting about them. If you've spent much time on this forum you'll know what I mean!
Agree with this, over the first 2 months of ownership and mixed driving (usually a few miles to 15 or so) my LR has averaged 270wh/m. Which would give me 250+ miles without trying too hard. Best I have seen so far was 215 wh/m on rolling hill A roads (Cotswolds) during a 50 mile journey mainly following other cars using basic AP.
The P must be much less efficient in how it manages its power as surely the 20 inch wheels shouldn’t make a massive difference…?
Yeh, using that Tessie on free trial and gives similar kind of useful data. Looked again there just now, 11kwh over 33mi, averaged 344 wh/mi
ok so that trip doesn't look too bad. Keep an eye on other trips and see if any look particularly bad. If they are then check temp, max power, elevation, etc to see if those factors can explain the difference.
The Energy app is a great way of seeing how you are driving in real time, especially for long trips. Lots of YouTube vids on this, here's one:
My RWD (SR+) is doing 240 miles in Feb missed driving 100-0%. In line with TeslaB’s testing; very happy with it. But a few hard accelerations on a journey causes that to drop a lot!
yeah - easy to say ‘don’t do that’ but when its so easy and so much fun, its hard to resist!
The trips can be reset as you need. The energy app is a rolling measure - if you set it to 5 miles (I think thats the shortest one) then it will effectively reset after you drive 5 more miles
The energy app shows the consumption for the preceding number of miles chosen e.g. 5, 15 or 30 miles.

It's not so much the 20 inch wheels that are a drag on range, it's the big performance disks behind the wheels. That's a lot of extra rotating mass.
My M3P has averaged 331 wh/ml since I got it in October. The wheels definitely make a difference (also the initial couple of days giving family and friends the launch experience) Lol.
They aren’t really that much bigger and the weight measurements I’ve seen show the two piece performance rotors are lighter than the standard ones. Just not enough of a saving to compensate for the extra weight of the wheels, especially the heavy Uberturbines.
Managed to grab a few days data now
In a nutshell 1 kWh every 2 and a bit miles
Seems to tie in with quite a few on here

That seems quite high. ( althoughI suppose it depends on the size of the bit)
Can you share the details of a drive from Tessie?
