wh/m - P100DL?

[Tevvy]

Hi all, could I sense check something with you all.

I've just bought a 2017 P100DL and I have just driven it 220 miles on a trip for the first time. This has given me an average wh/m of 419.

I've been driving mostly at the limit (70), and it's 1 degree C outside, with autopilot on for most of the journey.

Now I've come out of a 2017 75D, which I've had since new and done over 100k miles in, and I'm fairly sure this same journey (not that I could have got 220 miles in a trip) would have been around 350 wh/m.

They're on the same wheels (21") and are pretty much identical otherwise.

Does this seem about right?? Can anyone else confirm this, or do you think I have something wrong with the P100DL?

Not sure I've heard of a "DL". But I can tell you that I've seen differences that large just in my 15' 85D depending on the tires and terrain easily enough. And now you've got a P model which has a less efficient rear motor...

DL has Ludicrous upgrade.

I have the same car as you do, '17 P100D, and my avg. wh/m is similar ~ 415-425. My wife's '22 MYLR gets ~ 300 wh/m. Our older cars are just less effficient than the newer Teslas.

My ‘17 P100D gets around 310 or so in neutral conditions, highway 70mph. A bit higher when it’s cold. My lifetime average wh/mi is 330 or so. I have 21” forged arachnids from the referral program on OEM Michelins.

Wow 419 seems high to me. My 2015 Model S P90DL with 21" wheels has a lifetime average of 325-350 wh/m.

Try chill mode for a day?

A lot can push consumption high. Some other examples:

This Thanksgiving I had an average of 404wh/mi @ 72mph, and climbing 793 ft, 5mph headwind. Temps were 39F on 19" wheels and AS4 tires.

In contrast back in July, I averaged 291wh/mi @ 72mph, dropping 188 feet, no wind. Temps were 77F on 20" wheels and summer tires.

I took that same July route last Christmas Eve, Temps were in the single digits with a 5mph headwind and I averaged 431 wh/mi! That's only 60% of what the car is rated for.

My 2019 is a raven, so it should be a bit more efficient than a P100D. My 1 year average is 310wh/mi. Morals of the story: temperature, wind, and elevation are killers to range. Large summer tires are also not good. Chill mode makes no difference.

I had a 2017 P100D for 45k miles and iirc it averaged around 320-330 for the time I had it (roughly from 45k-90k miles).

Thanks guys, seems the temperature may be the issue then, when it warms up a bit I will retest and see what a long journey produces, I'll also put it on chill mode.

Also if you preheat the cabin it uses the battery power used in its calculations.

Using a few kilowatts to go zero miles messes up the average

I think the chevy bolt is smarter in this regard

2015 doesn't have the modern heat pump.
