Today went to work out, then to pick up a few staples (meat, bread, fruit). Temp between 22 and 28 deg F. 17.3 miles, fcd = 56.8 mpg. Going out around noon to meet Mary Beth in St. Charles. Entire day = 55.2 miles, fcd = 60.9 mpg.
Thanks. I try hard to never take short trips, even in the summer. The shortest trip I do is going to work out Sunday mornings. It takes almost the full 8.3 miles for the engine to reach full operating temp when ambient is 20-25 F. And it takes a while to warm up the engine when it's off 40% of the time. After that, the car is happy.
Thanks for starting the thread Edwin, I’ve made it ‘sticky’ Great run to our holiday home today, needed a cross country detour due to a closed road but the Tesla nav was amazing - no holdup . Stopped 1/2 way plus another for lunch: 3 Drives, 51 to 55F, much more efficient temperature Total Miles Driven 95.31 Rated Miles Used 87.79 Efficiency 108.57 % Time Driven 2 Hours 32 Minutes kWh Used 22.56 kWh Wh/Mile 237 Wh This compares quite favourably with my previous Long Range Model 3 - here’s the numbers from this time last year: 3 Drives Total Miles Driven 95.40 Rated Miles Used 93.18 Efficiency 102.38 % Time Driven 2 Hours 28 Minutes kWh Used 20.37 kWh Wh/Mile 214 Wh The Performance used about 10% more kWh but range used was much better, 7.52 miles less than rated compared to 2.22 miles We had a walk with the dog after we had set everything up and ended up at the local brewery - excellent pint of stout
Hi Gord, next time I'll make it sticky. Not sure how, but I'll figure it out. Today it was 33 deg F in the morning, 42 coming home. Tank is at 191.3 miles, fcd = 64.5 mpg. It looks like fuel just went up about half a buck, so I'm glad I have 421 miles remaining on this tank.
Great stuff Edwin - look under Thread Tools and tick the box To a supermarket to stock up the fridge and freezer at the holiday home: 2 Drives, quite hilly Total Miles Driven 5.72 Rated Miles Used 6.11 Efficiency 93.62 % Time Driven 20 Minutes kWh Used 1.57 kWh Wh/Mile 274 Wh
Gas could well rocket short term Drove to a posh pub, did a 4.4 mile walk with the dog along the beach and finished off with lunch for wife’s 60th . Popped into a garden center on the way back: 3 Drives Total Miles Driven 8.76 Rated Miles Used 8.06 Efficiency 108.68 % Time Driven 31 Minutes kWh Used 2.07 kWh Wh/Mile 236 Wh
AM : 39-41 deg F : 33.1 miles, fcd= 63.7 mpg PM : 48-51 deg F : work out at planet Fitness, then double back a couple miles to Crooked Arm: 36.9 miles, fcd - 71.5 mpg Tank = 261.4 miles, fcd = 65.3 mpg.
After going to work and Planet Fitness today, tank = 327.9 miles, fcd = 65.7 mpg, 309 remaining. I may not drive again until Tuesday AM (actually, I want to work out Sunday). Not sure if price of fuel is going up or down, but it's $3.70 here. ( last fill was at $2.749 ) I can wait it out for 5-6 days.
I filled up Thursday night before I really needed to, anticipating the price was going to creep up 20 or 30 cents every few days. Most I could get it to take was 9.34 gallons at 2.99/gal. I doubt the gage will move much for a while. The trip in this morning was 9.1 miles at 74F and SSE (tail to cross to tail) wind at 6mph, ending at 70.5mpg on the fcd. The trip home was 8.8 miles at 72F and 8mph S (head to cross to head) wind, ending at 77.7mpg on the fcd. The Shell where I filled still showed 2.999 when I drove by tonight, but I doubt it will be the same on Monday.
Back from holiday home today, bit of a higher speed and fun winding country road detour on the way back due to slow traffic: 2 Drives Total Miles Driven 94.11 Rated Miles Used 95.39 Efficiency 98.66 % Time Driven 2 Hours 23 Minutes kWh Used 24.52 kWh Wh/Mile 261 Wh
Cheers Bill, yeah not bad Met friends at a pub for lunch, then back to theirs for a bit before home via a roadside flower seller: 5 Drives Total Miles Driven 55.13 Rated Miles Used 56.16 Efficiency 98.17 % Time Driven 1 Hour 37 Minutes kWh Used 14.43 kWh Wh/Mile 262 Wh
