What kind of Wh/mi are you guys getting?

[Yaro]

I have a DM with the 20" induction wheels. Mostly city driving and I'm getting 290Wh/mi which is a little higher. Coming from a RWD Model 3 that was getting about 230 for the same exact drive.

 

[LevelHeaded]

I take delivery today of inductions as well. I’m forgetting the target wh/mi to get the 316 range... anyone recall?

 

[MY-Y]

75000/316=237, although I think we'd really need 72500/316=229.

The only time I expect my car to use less than 240 wh/mi on a trip is when it coming to my SC on the car carrier truck.

From what I've read, I think 270 when it's nice out, 300 when it's really hot, and 320 when its cold are realistic. It's likely possible to get 10% more range with slower and mellower driving.

With a 90% charge, 10% eventual battery degradation and arriving with 10% charge, this means a reasonable distance between charges (in MD) will be:

Spring/fall: 200 miles
Summer: 180 miles
Winter: 170 miles

In the first few years with a 5% degradation, 100% charge, and arriving at 5%, this would be:

Spring/fall: 240 miles
Summer: 220 miles
Winter: 205 miles

75000/316=237, although I think we'd really need 72500/316=229.

Sounds essentially unattainable

We've gotten 292 Wh/mile on our performance Y over the past 2300 miles. Probably half of that driving was on the 21" Uberturbines before we switched to the 20" TSS Flow wheels.

I’m at 272 wh/mi after 700 miles in my Dual Motor 19” wheels, with the wheel covers off.

What about mostly city driving? My overall driving is about 80% city - and 100% of commute (whenever that happens again). I have no home charger, but a 35-bay supercharger 2 miles from me and 4 L2 chargers at the office, so range is quiet of interest to me.

254 is my average over 2300 miles..performance non PUP

 

[Nanadukes14]

I'm lost because I don't drive fast and I'm in Mass and I'm at 318. What am I doing wrong? I do mostly highway driving

 

[JCLee]

I'm getting around 220-230, my commute is all local (max 45 mph).

 

[Robocheme]

Over 16K miles, I averaged 247 wh/mile in my Model 3 RWD LR with 18” wheels. I haven’t driven enough with my Model Y AWD non-P to compare to that, but I am in the middle of a road trip where I compared efficiencies on flat stretches of road to what I observed with my 3 on the same route. (I would set the cruise control and then reset the trip odometer. I then waited a few minutes for the reading to stabilize.)

The bottom line is that my Y is about 15-20% less efficient than my 3. Given that they have the same size battery, I don’t see how the Y has a greater EPA range than the 3.

You are doing mostly highway driving. Unlike an ICE, this is where you get the worst efficiency. As soon as you exceed 50MPH your energy efficiency drops due to wind resistance. In an ICE they are most efficient when not in stop and go driving as they have so much losses no matter what the vehicle is doing.

So, drive slower. That may help.

I'm getting around 220-230, my commute is all local (max 45 mph).

I was wrong - I check the recent history and it was even better, 180-190. Again, all local, below 45 mph. My round trip commute is 32 miles, so the recent 30-mile data should be quite accurate.

Calculating 316 miles out of 75 kwh battery pack is all out-o-wack.

The trip graph shows about 280sh wH/mile is the consumption to get RATED range.

See screenshot with AVE line (dashed) at 275 wh/mile vs RATED (straight highlighted line below 300):

400+ miles @ 318wh/m. 40% highway (75-80mph). 60% city (avg 40mph). Did a couple of 10-60mph pulls (showoff to friends lol). PUP w/21”.

So how, then, did Tesla get a 316 mile rating? I've only had my MY LR 20" about 10 days and disappointed that 316 will probably never happen. We are averaging 320W/mi since we bought it, but that includes some "demo" acceleration. Last few days, more stabilized/normal driving, running about 280W/mi. So my math: 72500 usable watts/280 is 259 mile range. WAY different than 316 rating. I feel like i've been misled big time. I don't think its realistic to get to 229W/mi to get to the 316 range. Agh.

It depends on the kind of driving and the driver. Some have posted under 200 average when most of the driving was city/surface. Highway driving is going to be higher wh/mi.

 

[DDrawer]

If you drive around for a full battery and never go above 45 mph, id wager you would get the full 316 miles.

I have the 20" induction wheels and am getting 251Wh/mi so far for the life of the car, just under 1k miles.

251Wh/Mi Average = Max theoretical range of around 289. It'll be interesting to see if anyone posts actual Wh/Mi in the 229 range to get to the 316 total range...hopefully more will chime in...
