So I put in my first 1k miles (of pure joy! ) on my CPO/Used 2015 Model S 85.
Some things I found out:
1. Very efficient. I usually go from 80%-60+% on a given day and charging on a regular 100v outlet has been more than enough. In 1 month of ownership, I have used the super charger only 3 times (mostly to try it out) and a level 2 charging station once (again, just to try it out and get an account/experience).
2. I have been averaging about 299wh/mile (pic below) in my first month/1k miles (22,000 total miles on the car). Seems about average from reading in these forums. I fluctuate up and down lately as it is getting cold and close to winter (in the high 50's at night to high 70's during the day in LA).
3. I have read somewhere that people were saying that engaging AP uses more wh/mile. In my experience though, engaging AP saves more energy. Drove a lot through LA traffic a couple of days ago using mostly AP and still got 228 wh/mile in the last 30 miles of driving (pic #2). Is there a truth to this or is this normal?
Question for the forum experts:
With this being my first winter, I have seen a lot of posts about how winter affects range, supercharging, and charging in general. I am assuming most of these reviews/stories are from "real" winters. At what temperature should I start seeing these effects? Given that our winters are anywhere from the mid/high 50's to the high 60's/70s, is there even a cause for concern about winter?
Thanks all!
