Ah. Did you make it home/to charge?
Hah. Yeah. With 6% so worked out perfectly.
Charged to 100% and now car shows 306 miles of range. 1.3% of battery degradation after almost 7,000 miles of driving. I'm quite impressed.

Keep in mind, that energy graph also includes cabin heat power usage.Man, the battery gets very unhappy until it warms up after sitting in low ambient temperatures ️
It was pushing 400-600 Wh/mi at 62 MPH on the freeway (relatively flat) for about 10 miles before it leveled off back to around averages.
I’m a little afraid of road tripping in this car in the winter. I’m going to have to be very conservative (meaning more charging time at stops) to feel comfortable. My last trip was my first in colder weather and I was sweating on the way home. It was my first bout of range anxiety. I didn’t realize how much range can be lost driving 80 MPH in cold weather. I arrived with plenty of miles left but I prefer a larger cushion (10%) especially when driving in an unknown area with no superchargers nearby.
It’s not a big deal per se but until now my transition from ICE to EV was relatively seamless. I regularly take ~270 mile trips which will require an adjustment in winter. Happy to have my LR battery despite its uselessness in my daily driving.
80 MPH vs 70 MPH will use upwards of 30% more energy for the same distance traveled due to aerodynamic resistance.
80 vs 75 is 14%
(So watch out for headwinds)
Cold also makes aero worse in general.

Not my field so kind of curious. I heard it can affect aircraft quite a bit (good for lift, etc.) but what's the range of difference for terrestrial vehicles?

I always thought people were making a mistake and getting it backward when they said that, but I just read some of the references on it, and the explanation does make sense. This from the Wikipedia link:Humidity reduces density,
