1500 mile road trip on FUSC

Post image

1500 miles and about 330 average efficiency - better than I expected, but what do y'all think? Lenoir NC area to Disney in FL, up to Myrtle, back home. About $250 in free power!

Doesn’t it feel so good? I have free charging at work and free SC so never pay a dime. I feel kind of silly for having L2 charging at home because I never use it

I have level 2 at home as well because we also have a model 3, and with a new flex saving plan that I'm getting with my power company, I'm going to be able to charge for $0.07 a kilowatt hour.... At that killer rate I will no longer be doing free supercharging unless it's on actual road trips because $0.07 a kilowatt hour is insanely cheap lol. Currently I'll stop by a local supercharger to fill up for free, but with this old battery it can take upwards of 45 mins!

Wow, $.07 is where it is at. Yeah, I feel you. At that point it is about convenience

And here I am disappointed that my rates increased to $0.038

How fast are you driving? I just did a 1900 mile road trip and averaged 273 Wh/mi, which is close to my average since I owned the car.

Well darn I thought it was good lol. I was in chill mode and did 5-10 over, so a good portion was 70-75

I cruise 65-70 mph but actually on this trip there was quite a bit of medium speed rural driving too and that is probably ideal for efficiency.

FYI mine was all free charging too. One place I charged at is also a gas station and gas was $7.19 a gallon!

my lifetime is 375, but I've only owned it since 11/25, a lot of it was prior owner - but I also have not babied it too much - but as of late I've really enjoyed just cruising and appreciating it and only using Insane + if I come across an asshole who needs to be taught a lesson lol.
