The Gravity is a much more massive vehicle than the Model 3 and weighs considerably more. Our LR RWD M3 can get over 4 miles/kWh when driven conservatively. My Gravity so far is averaging over 3 miles/kWh in mixed driving. So it’s not too bad considering the difference in size and mass.
2.54 mi/kwh * 123kwh == 312 miles range. Was the 250 mile range you reported as measured or calculated from the mi/kwh?
In addition to the 2k mile break in period (which I also saw on Air), what ambient temps and tire pressure are you at? I’m gettin 3.18 mi/kwh on Gravity DE 20/21 wheels at 65 F and 44 psi but will definitely get worse with temps dropping in New England.
Measured. To test it, I charged to 100%( usually only charge to 80) and drove till I got only 4% left.
I understand. But I feel like getting 250 miles is far from the 386 miles that my car is rated for. Also there are times when my car is just parked and turned off. The battery drains like 5 to 6 % over a few hours. Doesn’t happen all the time but sometimes. I initially thought I might have forgotten to turn the hvac off or something. But since then I ve been paying attention and making sure the car is locked and everything is off before I walk away from the car. Still happens.
Oh. I didn’t know that. I ll keep monitoring it then.
I am still at around 500 miles. 44 psi and ambient temp 55 to 60.
It’s 117-118 usable. Dynamic Range = Rated Range at 3.30 mi/kwh in my Gravity.
I use smooth most of the time. For this last test I used it 100%. I don’t use creature comfort at all.
This drain should not happen. Something is wrong there and maybe your car is staying on with the climate or something. I've never seen any drain like this in mine nor heard of anyone until yours mention it. Maybe you have proximity unlock on and you are not getting the key far away enough? I don't know. Maybe time to call service about that.
Yeah that phantom drain is not normal, turn off proximity lock/unlock and use fob buttons to unlock vehicle and see if that helps. Turn off WiFi too to make sure it’s not stuck downloading some huge offline map or something. I’d also do the long steering wheel reset to make sure. Hard to guess what else could be causing it but that’s definitely not normal.
Definitely check your energy chart
Buying larger sized wheels was not out of choice. I needed a car sooner rather than later and I picked an inventory car that was a close match to what I wanted. Only difference was the wheel size.
I ve had proximity lock turned off since day 1. I haven’t tried a hard reset though. I might as well try that.
