how my 2023 long range did on a 353 mile road trip

I recently drove from LA to palm springs and back for a total of 353.9 miles For 99% of the drive, I drove under 75mph. Overall, I drove fairly conservatiely. I have 19inch wheels with haloblack disc covers. Cold psi = 40 My effiency: 226.8 wh/mi, total energy used = 80.3 kWh Just sharing a data point for anyone curious. My car is rated at 300 miles on a full charge. There is absolutely no way I could have gotten 300 miles unless I drove like 50mph on the highway. I was on course to get around 250 miles.

2025 Model 3, dual motor. 19 inch, with covers. 42 cold psi. I just did 1100 miles in two days from Texas to Mississippi and back. I averaged 256 wh/mi driving pretty aggressively. Our speed limits are much higher, never had it below 70mph. Self driving on at 75-80 mph most of the drive.

I've done Miami to Key West (160 mi) on a 24 LR AWD with 19 novas and did 180wh/mi I even took a picture, that's the lowest ive ever seen, it's usually 240-270 Most of the drive was at 45-60mph

Boy... We get to drive at 75 for like first 100Km when I'm going to Lapland (assuming summer), rest of the way is 60, 50 or even lower. No wonder that I can do 350 miles easily on on charge. Though this is usually summer when I drive to my friends and it is all the way 40 or 50 zone, just about 10 miles in between at 60.

Was your consumption higher going east than west? It should have been as it was uphill, and if there was a Santa Ana wind blowing that day, would’ve increased that effect - especially at highway speeds.

Roughly the same

Yeah I feel this getting into high 300wh/mi range in KS with single digit temperatures the last week .
