I'm a month-long owner of a model Y long range, and learning more every day.You might think this is a small difference, but say you only do 40% charges to get to eat destination, which could be typical of a long-distance drive. It'll add up and make a sizeable impact on your total drive time if you tried to do 40%-->80% vs 10% --> 50%.
Negligible effect. You're not going down to 10% every day/charge, only for long road trips. And there's been crazier folks using tesla as taxi or supercharging every day and no significant reports or terrible battery degradation.I'm a month-long owner of a model Y long range, and learning more every day.
What about the (potentially negative?) long-term effect on your battery life/charging system, of mostly charging from ~10% specifically because it charges at a higher rate and creates/produces more heat? Or does this have a negligible negative affect on the battery life/charging system? Thank you.
I was not surprised too much on my first road trip, which included roof cargo that resulted in -20% or so to range at highway speeds. I did tell ABRP to assume a higher consumption that it would otherwise assume for the car (I had a good idea of what the roof cargo penalty was). The only (minor) surprises on that front were that in some areas, wind conditions were worse than typical, resulting in arriving at a Supercharger at a lower state of charge than intended (e.g. 7% instead of 14%). An unrelated surprise was only getting 36kW out of a Supercharger at a Tesla store when there was no one else charging at it.I recall being surprised too during my first road trip.
On flat ground without significant wind and moderate temperatures, EPA economy is doable at about 65mph. However, it seems that most drivers here drive faster than that most of the time.2) You are unlikely to achieve EPA efficiency, and reasonable expectation is 87% of EPA at freeway speeds
Thanks for the data. The only other thing I can think of is, were you driving into a headwind?
I’m the second owner. Bought it with right around 7k miles. It has 9800 now. So my “2800 mile” lifetime is 314Wh/mile so far.Thanks for the data. The only other thing I can think of is, were you driving into a headwind?
Oh, how's your lifetime efficiency figure? I'm about 250Wh/mile.
For road trips, I use it every time, the real value is for final destination purposes. It's handy to know where the closest charger near my destination is if I want to arrive at a particular SOC. Yes the navigation will tell me that when I'm there too, but I like to know before hand. For example: last year we went to gatlinburg and on same arrival day we were all meeting up to go to a dinner show. I saw that the show had destination chargers right in the parking lot so I didn't worry about my arrival SOC and was able to plug up for free while we ate dinner.Why would you use ABRP for navigation? The Tesla Nav is tied to the car and it will guide you along the way and give charging advice if needed. ABRP has no idea how much range you have.
Charge at 100% before taking road trips. It's cheaper and easier. It takes none of your time to charge at home as well.
I don't know of anyone who has ever regretted having more remaining power than necessary on a road trip.
Sweet mercy how is my Wh/Mile so much higher? I mean, I've only driven like 3K miles with it so far.. But 314 vs 248??
I drove it like I stole it for the first week or so but not since.. I do go around 70 on the highway but other than that, pretty normal driving.. 50/50 I would say (city/highway).. I do have bigger wheels (20x10 on the rear and 20x9 on the front).. So maybe that's it?
Still kinda bummed that the "EPA" range is "333 miles" for a LR but this trip, I'm stopping twice to charge and it's 287 miles..
Yes I did my first road trip from LA to Morro Bay this weekend and was a little shocked by the range and when I need to recharge. Not a huge deal though and I'm sure going up the grapevine both ways does a number on range. Lol. My poor leaf wouldn't be able to dream of that trip. The Y goes farther using 15% of its battery lol.The actual miles from home to destination was 267 miles.. Without thinking of the nuts and bolts of (charging to only X%, not letting it get below X%, don't go over X MPH, keep AC on X, etc etc) I thought, I could make it there easy! Yet, I stopped twice to SC on the way there.. Just suprised is all.
