Terrible Highway mileage!

[Rick65]

2022 Sel RWD, I consistently get 4+ miles/kWh in my daily commute, mix of city/highway. Drive 60/65 mph on cruise on the highway with temp range 35 to 55.

EDIT: Add about 0.3 to all my numbers below if you’ve got a RWD model. My numbers are based on my AWD Extended.

Man, numbers are all over the board here. I am highly skeptical of anyone claiming to get better than 3mi/kWh at 75mph+. Maybe with optimal temp, no HVAC, no passengers, and a massive tailwind, but that is not realistic.

2.5mi/kWh is more realistic at highway speeds, but you can count on that dropping to 2 or even lower if the battery is cold, you're carrying a lot of extra weight, or you're driving into a headwind. Welcome to the joys of road-tripping with the MME. This is the cost of driving a car that isn't shaped like a dorkmobile.

These numbers are what I experienced also. I have NEVER got 3mi/kWh at 75mph, in fact it is usually less than 2.5. I also didn't notice any particular improvement in the GOM with this last update. Very disappointed in this cars efficiency and range.

First roadtrip in MME, 500 miles round trip. Whoever said 68mph is the magic number was right on from my experience. 60f no climate control and averaged 3.7-3.9 m/kw. Push it to 70-72 and it went down to 2.9-3.1 range. Weigh the increased speed and less drive time or less range and more charge time. Premium AWD SR, I’d love bigger battery but one way work commute is between 8-20 miles so $8600 was a tough swallow. NJ TRNPK is loaded with Tesla Chargers and not one non Tesla. That needs to change.

68??



someone just told me they are managing 4.4 at 68….I just LOL’ed

It's absolutely laughable. What do they gain from lying? The only thing I could imagine is they are driving for 80 miles on non highway, hopping on the highway for 10 minutes, then looking at their mileage at the moment.

and was the time you saved by speeding put to good use?

Speed limit was 75mph, I was not speeding.

Really?

What was your average speed on this highway trip?

75-79mph
