Very high energy usage for the first 3 miles of a trip

[gottagofast]

When I go to work in the morning my energy graph is showing I use anywhere from 400-600 wh/mile for the first 3 miles then after that it starts dropping and stabilizes at 230-260

That Initial surge just from the car warming up as I drive it?

I would say it is just a lack of distance for it's calculation. Just as if you travel a long distance and then 'floor it' it would not impact the value much.

I think it's actually the warm up. I've noticed the same thing. If you have a short commute (and even over hundreds of miles), your energy efficiency ends up being really poor because the car needs to warm itself up.

Yes.

Try preconditioning from the app before your next trip.
