Lifetime Average Wh/mi

[benjiejr]

After about 5 weeks and a little over 2600 miles with my P85D, I'm averaging 407 Wh/mi. I guess I've been having too much fun!

Brr, it's cold out there! If I had heated seats, no doubt my average energy this month wouldn't be so high. And I need to check my tire pressure (blush)...so lazy.... As usual, "A" is my near-lifetime and "B" is the past month.

Got the P85 back today. Here's our Jan 2015 #s.

Starting over with a P85D in 19" winter tire:

Janurary 2015:

4,255 mi 1,662.8 kWh 390 Wh/km


Life time = same as I got the car on January 7th

Why did you specify distance in miles but specify "efficiency" in Wh/km?
I'm assuming you meant 4,255km, which is still a TON of distance traveled!

Just celebrated 2 years with My 60 kWh Model S, lifetime stats are: 295 44,346 VA S60 19"

(44,346mi 13,100.5 kWh 295Wh/mi)

 

[glhs272]

Late again getting this update: Lifetime 319Wh/mi @39,440miles. Since Oct 14th 2014 339Wh/mi
90% charge yields 182 to 183 rated miles (depending on relative battery temp) and 207 ideal miles.

My mistake, efficiency is in Wh/mi but it's still 390 ... it's 244 Wh/km.

I went from Montreal to Miami back to Montreal the first week I had the car...

I had been reporting my P85+, which is now sold. I received my P85D December, 26th, so I'm just rolling those few days into Januaries number. I believe it would also be helpful to have people report their tires, so I'm adding that after my State.

Does average Wh/mi affect projected range? If not, why not?

Does average Wh/mi affect projected range? If not, why not?

As far as I can tell, it doesn't. I suspect the reason is that it would be inaccurate until about 30,000 miles were driven. Also you could have a situation where there were some weeks with very high Wh/mi and some with very low Wh/mi (or some drivers if you share your car). Using the average as one factor in the estimate wouldn't be correct for either.

The new Trip tab, already takes into account your actual results as you drive.

I'm in TX, during the summer the A/C doesn't add significantly to the Wh/mi.

I agree that it doesn't have a significant impact most of the time. But when its >110 out, energy use from HVAC goes way up (and doesn't drop much once the cabin is cooled down…)

Also, I've had HVAC mostly off for the winter (except on colder mornings under ~45 or so)… There is a noticeable improvement in Wh/mi when its off vs on… about 8-10 better for the same drive… Not really significant, but noticeable.

Precooling and preheating takes away most of that. When it's hot out and you can't pre-cool, just turn the temperature up so that it doesn't run full blast at first (clue is there are only two fan blades lit, and don't use range mode). It will still feel cool. Then when you start to feel hot lower the temperature by 1 C. Repeat until you're down to the temperature you want.

As is said, when temps are >110 (ambient temp), energy use stays higher than normal. Even if you pre-cool the cabin on shore power...

one example I have was a few weeks after delivery in June 2013. We had a really hot week -- up to 118 a couple days. One of those days we were out running errands and plugged the car into a public charger to charge a bit and I kept the AC running via the app for the hour or so we were in the store. Car was nice and cool when we got back, but the temp was 111. On the ~40 mile drive home temps increased to 114 before dropping to 108 as we gained elevation back home. The hottest stretch, we lost 20 RM over 10 miles -- before the elevation gain, and we were driving the speed limit. I've driven that same stretch other times and normally see close to rated...
