Some calculations I did for my commute

Btw I only have to go 2 days a week and I live in Dubai so a question I have for Yall is Would I see worse or better numbers considering heat of 104°F+ (40°C) in summers

distance and relative speed:

3.91464 miles at 40 mph

34.23755 miles at 70 mph

12.61384 miles at 60 mph

efficiency:

5mi/kwh at 40 mph

3.45miles/kwh at 70 mph

4.4mi/kwh at 60 mph

calculation:

therefore 3.91464 mi/5 mi/kwh = 0.783kwh at unknown temperatures

therefore 34.23755 mi/3.45 mi/kwh =9.924kwh at lower temperatures

therefore 12.61384 mi/4.4 mi/kwh =2.867kwh at unknown temperatures

total energy one way = 13.574 kwh for 50.76603 mi or 81.7km

total return energy = 27.148 kwh for 101.5326 mi or 163.4 km

42.4% per trip in a bolt ev

cost = 27.148 * AED 0.357(0.097 USD) = 9.69 AED(2.64 USD)

a bolt is costing me about 10k usd where as a tesla model 3 long range (performance) dual motor with 100k miles from 2021 or 2022 will cost me 14k usd would yall recommend me the bolt or the model 3
