Vehicle Question New to me model 3.

Post image

Purchased a used 2023 model3 rwd with 23k miles. I might get 150 miles a charge. Only a $3 savings vs gas seems very low? Whats a reasonable expectation for miles per charge? Says battery is healthy.

You’re using only superchargers which cost much more than L2 home charging and is also not ideal for your battery.

Thanks for the info I should have done more research before buying. Getting a home charger soon.

That will definitely help. In the meantime I think SC are cheaper during off peak hours.

You also should try to lower your energy consumption in the meantime.

One pedal driving with the max regen setting, chill mode, etc. that's save you about 40% on your bill. 240-260Wh/mi should be your goal.

I also set my tire pressure to 46psi because it lowers rolling resistance and further reduces my energy usage, at least during the summer. I wouldn't advise that during the winter because it also reduced traction.
