I’ve been bored, who isn’t at the moment ? Filled the Tesla with one gallon’s value of electric, think I used £5.70/ gal, or about 36.95kWh @ my day rate of about 15p/kWh. That charged the Tesla from 27% to 72% or 45% total capacity of the battery. I then drove it round on my ‘essential errands’ shopping for parents etc, I noted the mileage when I was back at 27%. I did the same with the Ampera, filled the battery, reset the trip, then noted the mileage when the battery was back full again after several part charges that totalled 36.95kWh. Virtually no heat or air-con were used in either car, and both were driven the same way, as gently as possible.
Don’t believe everything they say about how efficient the Tesla’s are. The Tesla did 113 miles, and the Ampera did 139 miles.
There is a difference in efficiency between the two, my Tesla 3 is the performance so it’s already a shade worse than the standard long range, but I think it’s more the fact that the Tesla stays powered up on the driveway for hours at a time before sleeping, that and Sentry Mode wasting tonnes (although that wasn’t used for testing.
So that makes is 327wh/ mile for the Tesla and 266wh/ mile for the Ampera
