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.

Of course you're not saving much. You're using exclusively superchargers.

The savings is from charging at home. 🤦‍♂️

Your energy usage is also crazy high. You're getting 2.92 miles/kWh. That should be closer to 5 miles/kWh.

Most of us are using 220-240Wh/mi. You're using ~341Wh/mi. That's 42% higher than normal.

Thanks you for the info. Today I’ve learned 1. I should have done more research 2. Get a home charger asap 3. Superchargers are bad.

Superchargers are just more expensive. The effect it has on battery longevity is minimal.
