After having done a moderate drive with and without autopilot on a long stretch of highway (I've put about 330 miles in the first day I got my car ), I definitely noticed that autopilot is not that efficient compared to my normal driving habits. I noticed about a 5-15 Wh/mile increase using autopilot (don't quote me on this) compared to my personal driving habits based on 1 particularly trait: don't regen if you don't have to.
Attached is my P3D+ efficiency for the first day of ownership! (32 hours to be exact). I did about 4-5 launches in that time, multiple high speed accelerations and did a lot of 70-90 mph stretches and one short burst at 100 mph.
Interested in your guys thoughts on the subject. The 569.5 miles is lifetime of the vehicle and the Wh/mi dropped from 360 Wh/mi since I got it lol.
- Autopilot appears to be overly zealous on maintaining follow distance and/or speed where it regens aggressive in situations it doens't have to either keep safety or maintain speed .
- This results in excessive regen or slowdown / acceleration, when a slower more gradual speed shift would've avoided the regen entirely.
