Ok, updated the model using 535 wH/mi @ 82.5 mph. Moves the "optimum" cruise speed up to 93 mph assuming 5 min from exit to on charge, 20% to 80% charging (average 150 kW delivery rate on SC3) for 29.5 minutes. Does anyone have any high speed wH/mi data?

Totally agree! For now I'm modeling a trip where you drive down to 20% battery and then recharge to 80%. Will add more variability as the model matures...which starts with getting good baseline numbers on watt-hours / mi at various speeds. Eventually will get to changes in temperature, air...

the 800 Wh/mi figure came from searches on the net and this forum...but, would love to tweak in the model with good data! Lemme re-run using your figure of 535 wh/mi at 82.5 mph....

Do you know what the Wh/mi average is at 113 mph in an AWD? Would be an easy calculation from there….I’m using 800 Wh/mi at 85 mph for instance

Distinguished owners and followers of the Best Truck on the Market, Greetings, I'm a Tesla newbie by most standards, bought a 2024 MY for my wife 18 months ago and a 2025 CT for me a few months ago. Love these vehicles! Spent 25 years in the USAF as a pilot, now make my living working for a...

Lights must be in “Auto” and not off for this to work…

Our house “idles” between 300 and 400W.

FWIW, my solar company said Tesla told them Jan 2026 for software update to enable PS with PW. Who knows?

Not at my age! : )

Agreed! Of course this is just an energy cost look....some States offer EV tax incentives beyond what the Feds offer, and others tax EV's for road use to "make up" for the tax per gallon of gas "road use tax" that other States do not....so mixed bag.... If you did a total cost per mile...

Spreadsheet updated with Rank ordered "which State is best for EV's" tab....

ok, seems this forum has issues with file quality...lemme adjust and re-post

Here's another look that ranks US States by which are best for EVs in terms of gas price versus electric cost at your residence using the same source data as my post above.

Here's a quick spreadsheet that shows when an EV is more cost efficient than an ICE vehicle in terms of energy cost per mile (KW vs Dino-fuel). Input your KW/mile and ICE miles per gallon in upper left. The solar crowd has to do some math regarding cost and lifespan of their system. Here's a...

Buy the truck! You can install a generator input with an interlock to your house's electric mains that would allow you to switch off city power and then plug the generator connection into the 240V outlet in the truck's bed. This would allow you to power your house with the truck without using...

My CT is averaging ~106 MPG since I bought it three months ago. Here's the math. In 1213 miles driven, it's averaging 336.9 Wh/mi. Electricity at my house costs 10.03 cents / KWH. Gas here in Boise is $3.57 per gallon. So, for the cost of one gallon of gas here, my CT goes 105.6 miles...

Whitespace is the reason.

Those things cost over $1000 EACH. Good luck.

I contend that a CT with a tinted front windshield will stabilize at a lower inside temp than one without tinting all other things being equal.

At some point, the truck reaches a stable (hot) interior temp…maybe around 130-140F on a hot day in the sun….at this point heat in = heat out.
