First the amazing part. Today I was able to achieve 282 Wh/mi...
That in itself is not impressive.
What's impressive about it is that I was able to achieve that while going over a 4000 ft mountain pass... Twice!
All the while, with the temperature outside at 95 degrees, A/C on lowest setting all the time (not range mode), carrying 700 lbs of passengers and doggies. Going speed limit all the time (55 to 65). I was expecting to be getting around 370-ish, so 282 was quite a shocker.
The part that I'm confused about though is that my distance travelled and remaining rated range is 159.8 + 94 = 253.8 miles. I charged the car up initially to 257 mile range. I thought that we achieve rated range at 290 Wh/mi though, so I expected at 282 Wh/mi, that the two range numbers would add up to over 257?
You can tell from my trip meters below that I don't often get down below the 300's, so quite surprisingly (after 2+ years of ownership), this is new to me. I basically left the 'P' of my 'P85' at home today, hard as it was.
I'm still super impressed that I was able to get 253.8 miles range going up 8000 ft of elevation though! Just curious about the calculations wrt. the 290 wh/mi.
