Miles/Kwh

I did this recently too, I feel trip A is looking for some condition to reset and start counting KW if you reset it on the move. Ie like you need to be below some certain speed before it restarts.
 
It will not display values over 6.21
The good news is that it does store the data above 6.21 miles/kWh for the overall trip calculation. After a really long slog downhill at 6.21 miles/kWh, I started back uphill, and was surprised at how long I drove before the 6.21 finally ticked down. My real miles/kWh on the downhill must have been quite high.

But the implied actual performance then, if this wasn't wonky, is 9 miles/kWh. (28 miles/ 3 Kwh) That seems...um impossible, unless my commute was entirely downhill 🤣 (Which it isn't :)
 
Ok...so charged her back up to 80% overnight. She took 16 kWh. So, I see the implication as follows:
  • First leg of commute, I recall taking 9 kWh and 28 miles. This would have been about a 3.1 mi/kWh, including "non-driving" drain.
  • Second leg, based on the actual recharge was about 7kWh and also 28 miles. This is about 4 mi/kWh (not 6.21).
  • Total trip 16 kWh for 57 miles or about 3.56 mi/kWh, not the 4.65 on the readout.
Very strange. i assume like in other areas, something froze up on the Trip Info. I'll monitor going forward and/or do a quick reboot.
 
To circle back on this, it certainly seems like the Trip computer is a bit messed up. My first trip since last week yielded this nonsense:

Trip Comp.webp


I reset the Trip A before leaving, so the "Since Last Charge" does show the correct number of miles. However, the kWh and the Mi/kWh are back to funny business. The Trip A and the Trip B (my lifetime numbers) seem to be reasonably correct.

I'll do a software reset before my next charge. Hopefully that'll fix it. Medium term plan is to follow @borski advice and take a crack at Home Assistant. That'll give me more numbers than I know what to do with :)

What's "Home Assistant"? Link?
 
Up and back on the Pennsylvania Turnpike yesterday. 4.11 mi/kWh . Was about 60 mile trip.

~ 70 degrees F. Flat section, no wind, out and return trip so cancels out anyway. Adapt.Cz on set to ~ 70 mph. Have ~ 6 miles of local roads / lights at both ends of trip.

My lifetime average is 3.33 mi./kWh winter/summer 19" and 21". I am more than happy with these numbers.

No Worries Mate !

I very much want to take the Lucid to Times Square tomorrow (going to see Clooney = Good Night...) . It's a great car trip ... about 100 miles from here on PA and Jersey pikes
...but I won't give car to valet for parking.
Going to take wife's Mazda. I'm kinda bummed. We usually train into NYC, which is the way...but have adult child "stuff" issues = the apts. in NYC are tiny

Anyone else do this ? ... let strangers drive their Air ?
