2022 Model Y initial Wh/mi very high

[Jbird7]

Hello,

This is probably not a concern but just curious to know if it is. I recently got my MYLR with 19" Gemini wheels and have logged about 680 miles. When I look at the Current Trip Wh/mi reading as I start driving, it starts at 0 and goes upto 600 Wh/mi and sometimes 900 Wh/mi when I turn the AC on for the first 3 to 10 miles of driving. This is with rather light acceleration and Trip A reading of approx. 130 miles shows about 230 Wh/mi usage. I mostly use light acceleration in the Standard pedal settings and have regeneration set to Hold. I had to factory reset due to an unrelated issue and it erased other Wh/mi readings.

Has anyone else noticed this and is this normal? I was of the idea that the Wh/mile reading takes into account battery usage only during driving and doesnt count the energy consumed by Sentry mode or AC usage, etc. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks.

This is normal; the Wh/mi readout is accurate but misleading for the first ~1 mile when you start driving.

Yes this is normal. That's from using your a/c. Wh/mi shows your total energy consumption from all sources.

It's like when you have an ICE car and idle it for an hour with the a/c running, you can bet its gonna show an obscene number like 5mpg
