Type: Model 3 LR RWD 18” Aero all season tires
Location: Maine and Atlantic Canada
Wh/mile: 302
Type of driving: Mixed. Some interstate speed limits here are 75MPH. Preheat often and try to finish charging just before leaving when plugged in. Occasionally leave heat on for an hour or two when away from car and NOT plugged in. I try to avoid driving during heavy snow storms or freezing rain.
Temp: -5 to 45 degrees F
Miles: 3,324—October 2018 through March 2019
Type: Model 3 LR RWD 19" and 18" wheels
Location: Dallas/Ft Worth, TX (mostly hot) 20 to 108 degrees F
Wh/mile: 235 - goes up in summer months (a/c) and down in winter (no hvac and use heated seats and gloves)
Miles: 4100 over 1 year old
City/Hwy: 95/05 (Model S used on road trips) - rarely use Supercharger. Mostly charged off home solar system.
My typical has been 320 on the 21s (3300 miles), but I recently have brought that down through more observant driving so I am averaging 254 wh/mi (Model S 60)
I live in MN. Definitely have noticed that roughly 40 degrees seems to be the line between “good efficiency” and sort of “crap efficiency”. Loving the warmer weather ahead of us.

"I live in MN. Definitely have noticed that roughly 40 degrees seems to be the line between 'good efficiency' and sort of 'crap efficiency.' "
For me in California the line between good and bad efficiency seems to be much higher. For me it's around 60 degrees.
I’ve now had the car almost a month. NY, avg probably 50 degrees. SR+ 18” wheels.
85% highway
Low climate or no climate on
259 wh/mile in 1500 miles
The efficiency has been good overall and I’ve noticed on the occasional 65 degree day we had I was able to achieve close to 200 wh/mi. So, I’m sure in the summer my numbers will go to more like 230 wh/mile.
However, what isn’t accounted for is the drain per day. 10 miles a day seems to be the norm for me (occasional pre heat) and more if sentry mode is on (20ish) miles a day.
10 miles a day, 365 days a year just lost is 3,650 miles gone from the range that need to be replenished (about $15 a month wasted with my NY electric rates)
Just to keep that in consideration for those who feel that they would save quite a bit from switching from an ICE car. I ended up saving quite a small amount compared to my 26mpg Cadillac at current gas prices. Maybe $40-50 a month. Still good. Not great. I imagine those with low electric rates are loving it though
M3 LR RWD
We've had it for a bit more than 7k miles now over 7 months and Watts/Mile is 256.
We got it in August and it was HOT here in Tucson so our Initial W/M was 300+ but it's gone steadily down what with less launching it and cooler temps. Lately my about town W/M is 220-230ish.
P3D+, about 6000mi in with late September delivery (so mostly cool to cold driving so far). The last 4000mi have been on Pilot A/S 3+
Live on a hill and most drives lose between 500-1000ft before heading home.
40/60 highway/city
Lifetime is 310Wh/mi
On warm days without punching it, I’ll get 240 on my city round trips.
My first 3 (RWD LR) is at 218 over 15,000mo and 14 months.
SR+ 19" Sport wheels
234 Wh/Mi for first 1000 miles
San Diego freeway driving
Charge to 80% (194 miles) using 240-50 and mobile charger at 32 mph @ $0.23 kwh
November, 1 to March 15 ~3000 miles mixed driving, nonstop and go, rarely over 60 mph, 18” aero, Hakka 9’s, mostly snow/ice covered roads, heated garage, lower snow but colder than average winter, heat on 67 auto.
Averaged 447 wh/mi.
April 1 until this AM with daily sun and highs in the 40’s so heat is mostly off, snow/ice mostly gone from roads, 18”
Forged ENKI with the OEM Michelin’s. I’m at 267 Wh/mi same driving.
Just completed a 2,600 mile round trip in my 2018 build LR AWD with 18" Sport wheels. I was traveling between Virginia and Missouri on I-70 average speed 70-75 MPH with temps from 33-65.
Started using Tesla FI when we had about 3k miles on the car.
