Tampa to Keywest trip! 282Wh/mi in The Keys

[TexasRaider]

3000 of those miles were from Northeast trip to NJ/PA.

Ditto. My “around my flat town” Wh/mi is in the 400s.
Inefficient as most other 1500 trucks. ?
Which is fine, it’s a big piece of equipment.
But also cool, to see low 200/300 range. Especially happy to see a negative when sliding down a Colorado Mountain ha

Exactly. Also, charging etiquette is to try and keep everyone on seperate chargers if possible. When you go to the station (my example is a 8 charger station) you might notice numbering on the pumps such as A1, A2, A3, A4 and B1, B2, B3, B4. Say there is only 1 other car there and he/she is at A2. You will want to use one fo the "B" pumps. This way you will both get the charging speed benefit of an unsplit charge.

I’ve been the the FL Keys dozens of times. Don’t forget to stop in Big Pine Key for amazing pizza at the No Name Pub. Leave a dollar bill on the ceiling before leaving!

Also, a big shout out to a restaurant on Marathon called Castaways. Once featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Off the beaten path and serves the best sushi ever.

You’re making me plan another trip to Keywest

Went on a trip to Keywest this weekend. What an amazing drive. This truck is just awesome. CT at the southernmost point! European tourists are just amazed looking at the truck in real. The last but one supercharger at Marathon airport on the way to keys has only 2 chargers working but they’re upgrading it with latest ones!

Efficiency on my way back through the keys was 282Wh/mi! Traffic was steady around 60’s and some places 50’s.

Bring your average down to 35/37mph like this Mach E and you’ll do even better.

That can only happen if I drive in states like NJ without doing long trips.

It was a joke! ? My point is, there is a sweet spot for efficiency around that speed. However, the core wheels/tires (or likely any all season option) should yield even better results with less roll resistance.

Did not know that. thankyou

Older chargers at 150KW share power in sets whereas V3 superchargers @250KW don’t share power. CT still struggles to keep up with the speed and slows down pretty early before reaching 80%. Hopefully there’s another round of software update which can improve the charging speed further.
