I get what you are saying. Wh/mi is a consumption rate which you can still find on the Trip screen for current drive, since last charge, etc. It would be nice to have the Wh/mi average on the new Energy app too (seems like they might add that), but this rate doesn't actually tell you how much energy (in %, range or simple capacity) that you've used across all functions, and have remaining. I think there has been strong demand to show what is using how much range in a Tesla (similar to iPhone battery app), so people can opt to drive differently, turn off Sentry, adjust HVAC or cabin overheat, etc. Most people care more about absolute range and capacity than the ongoing, changing usage rate.That's actually even worse. I mean, what does it even mean that parking consumed "6 miles" of energy, and climate consumed "4 miles" of energy?
I get it, Tesla wants it to dumb it down so to make it easier for average ppl to understand energy usage (kinda like what Apple did w/ iTunes). But in doing so it makes it even more confusing. What I want is simply what's there before, which is energy consumption rate - kwh/mi. Don't take me as an idiot and let me figure it out from there - it's not that hard.
I mean, why not just keep the old kwh/mi metrics from before AND build new energy screens for newbies? It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. But instead, Tesla decided to kill it altogether.
The old energy graph did focus more on how the rate of consumption changed over a drive, but that's not incredibly useful unless you put it in context of capacity used / remaining. Hopefully we will get best of both worlds with new app eventually.
