Really? 368 miles range?

[WILLK]

Am I calculating this right? I drove from Reno to Elk Grove, Ca. at 100% charge and back the next day over the Sierras without charging, almost all freeway 68-74 mph, 87-98f degrees, 12 hours of sentry mode. I used FSD 95% of the time. 368 miles total range? See Trip A : 123000÷334.1=368 miles range? Wow!

Would require you to charge to 100% (generally not recommended) and take the battery to 0% (definitely not recommended)
Elevation etc
But math maths at 368

Wow, impressive!

Normally I would not charge to 100% or even consider depleting to 0%. I have only had the CT for 10 days. I have made this trip before many times in a Ford Lightning and a Ioniq 5. Nothing close to getting this range. I was just not sure my math was correct. Even my overall range since new of 305 (see trip B) is impressive. I bought this as a demo with 2200 miles and I have been sitting in it nightly listening to music etc. with the air conditioner running for a few hours.

The 4680 format is amazing, isn't it? Tesla has been conservative with them so far to prove their longevity.

Even greater things are coming too.

Can't wait!

Wow, impressive!

Going downhill with the wind can yield even more impressive numbers

12 hours of driving without charging? Am I understanding that correctly?

sentry mode…

You can't take a single drive like that as representative of the range you're going to get. A convenient tailwind or a decrease in elevation can result in a very favorable range and the reverse trip could be absolutely horrible. Your trip B is much closer to reality.

No. Reached my in laws house. Parked outside for 12 hours outside with sentry on. Actually it was longer . More like 20.

 

[Baldyloxx]

Since Last Charge = 285.7

Calculations mean nothing, till you actually DO IT..

$0.02

With 3000 miles my average range is 307 miles. I got this as a demo with around 2200 miles. I have spent several hours in the garage listening to the sound system with the air conditioner running.

Hahahah I should read better

368.15 mi range by my calculations. Drive faster ? jk

Trip efficiency is based on driving efficiency. Parked time listening to audio or with Sentry mode running doesn't factor into your trip efficiency calculation. It's a surprisingly efficient vehicle given the size and weight with a rated efficiency of 385Wh/mi for AWD w/ AT tires, but you won't consistently achieve that kind of range at highway speeds.

EDIT: To be clear, I mean >350mi. Your 3000 mile average efficiency is very much inline with AWD/AT.
