Yeah, I did Brampton to Cambridge regularly. Kitchener is a fair bit farther, and I'm not sure where you started from.

Odd... still not seeing it, yet I can see the restricted site at TMMC.
EDIT: Okay, it's been listed as a 120 volt wall outlet, which I normally leave turned off in my view...

This is something I don’t get: how are people getting that high a rate? Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place, but I’ve never hit 400 wh/km, much less any higher. Admittedly I’m not doing road trips yet, but I’m solidly in the 300-350 wh/km.
If you are doing lots of short trips you will be around 400. And once I was at 400 while driving in a snow/ice storm and I had to leave front and rear defrosters going at full heat/speed and I needed wipers and was going like 20 km/h on the 401.

that's interesting as I'd think Brampton was higher elevation than Cambridge.
Wind at your back heading east though generally.

Don't forget the person you're responding to drives a Model X. They're quite a bit heavier and less efficient. From his signature...
"MX 75D - Metallic Blue w/Ultra White Seats - Dark Ash - 6 Seat - EAP - FSD - Subzero - Towing - SAS (New)"
I drove 500 kms on the weekend and averaged 330 wh/km in my P90D which is TERRIBLE on fuel compared to my 70D. Getting into the 400s would be local short trips only. It was -20 to -25 when I made this journey on Saturday and the car enjoyed consuming range to say the least. I had to hit 3 supercharger stops...one for 15 minutes one for 60 minutes to charge to full at Vaughan Mills, and one for 10 minutes.
The best I've seen from my P90D this winter on highway trips is about 260wh/km in subzero temps. The 70D in subzero temps could always stay under 200wh/km if I was drafting a truck at 107 in autopilot. P90D can't come close

Pretty sure Brampton is lower than Cambridge. There is quite an elevation change as you go across the Escarpment near Milton.

That still doesn’t add up for me. My daily commute is about 40 km split between highway and urban driving during rush hour. I always have my cabin heaters, seat heater, and defrosters going these days and I’m still not getting near 400. It warmed to to above freezing this morning, so I was down around 250 or so.
That’s with me driving a Model X 100D as well, and doing periodic hard launches from traffic lights.
I am going from the energy view on the main screen - which seems to be the same as what you get on either side of the dashboard. It took me over three hours to get from Milton to the east end of Toronto. There was freezing rain/wet snow and I had to keep everything at full blast to have a chance of seeing where I was going. Traffic was crawling along at about 20km for much of this time.

sure enough it is. Not by much though. Maybe 50-60 feet. Around 820-850 in Brampton and around 900 in Cambridge. About 0.02% grade.

"Google Brampton elevation"
Brings up a map with elevation wherever you pin the map. Have at it.
Also, Waterloo is not Cambridge and YYZ is not in Brampton.
Topographic map Brampton
800 feet elevation in the heart of town, gets up to 900 feet in the northern part of Brampton, 700 in the southern tip near Mississauga.
If we want to be nerdy about it the m in Brampton and the B in Cambridge sit at 241m and 280 metres respectively.
39m = 129 feet
Over 75 kms, that's 0.05% grade.
