I'm with you. My daughter worked as a design engineer for Daimler-Chrysler. She said, "Drive it like you stole it!" That said, I'll probably still be less aggressive than you on road trips since the Touring has 100 fewer miles of range, even less with the 20" tires.

Don't know where you are, but here in Vegas I'm nowhere close to 4 much less 4.5 in the summer. Will pay more attention this winter since our temps aren't that cold.

Was it a 30 or 40 percent grade lol!? Wow! I would only see this number in my dreams. I too have a Touring with 20" wheels. My lifetime numbers are higher - 3.43 which jumped to 3.60 with the latest OTAs.

I've done the LA route to Phoenix. I stopped at the Cabazon Outlet Mall. That was the quickest charge I've ever received, over 250kW. Two years ago, those chargers were only functional when the mall was open; I don't know if that's changed or not. From there to Quartzite, AZ is 159 miles...

They're driving downhill both ways lol!

Do you use the ACC? I use mine almost exclusively when on the interstate, even in Las Vegas, like on the beltway. I like the peace of mind that ACC affords while still keeping alert.

I'm interested to know what your route was. I drove from San Diego to Tucson earlier this month. First time with an EV so I was a little nervous. Charged to 95% in SD so the Touring (20" wheels) told me to skip El Centro and charge in Yuma, AZ, Dateland, AZ and Casa Grande, AZ. The route...

My "lifetime" rate went from 3.43 to 3.60 after the last couple of OTAs, but I'm not noticing much difference in becoming more efficient. Probably not paying attention to the stat. Touring w/ 20" wheels. 4mi/kWh would be a typo lol!

It's down to $25 now.

My Touring is well below this curve. At 71SOC, I'm probably at 70kW.

It's down to $25 now and will disappear in a few. It's never made it onto a monthly statement.

Also check Costco, yep Costco. I've seen at least 2 brands for sale there from time to time.

From all the opinions here, you can see that there is a lot of variance. You might want to check into the various owner's forums (fora?) for the other vehicles and see if the quality of their software checks out.

Only hiccup I had was USECU was changing their brand name to Blupeak CU. I went around several times with Nevada DMV to match their vendor name and number before DMV was able to register my vehicle. Another quirk is Blupeak uses an algorithm that I’ve not figured out in how they figure...

Not a surprise here in Las Vegas that rates have skyrocketed. I see people running red lights all the time, people driving at night with lights turned off. People texting while driving - the tires running on the lane bumps is a "dead" giveaway. When the light turns green, I'm rarely the first...
