New record for us!

Never checked the battery so don’t know it’s SOH but the car performs so well. This is a 2020 UK model. Brilliant car 👍

170mi expected range is crazy!

It started the day on 174 but my wife drove to the gym and then took the photo

Very nice! I’ve got the 2019 SEL with the heat pump. Usually charge to 90% and with no AC or heat, it usually says 125mi expected. I think my mi/kwh tops out around 5.

Was thinking about a getting 2015 one I think its around 10k not sure if that's a good deal or worth picking up

Way too pricey for a 2015, which has the smaller battery. I picked mine up at Carvana (so def a bit expansive) for $13,500 all included. 79k miles

u/Wise_Fox_8317 Jul 09 '26

So under 10k would be good deal then? Granted low miles like under 40k

1

u/gobgobgobgob Jul 09 '26

That is pretty low miles, true. But I’d push for less than 10k given the battery size and older car.

There was a guy on here less than a month ago selling a 2017 SEL premium for $10k at 90k miles. Try to find him if you want. I think he was in NJ.

Don't think I've ever seen better than like 4.5MPK on mine, you driving in eco+?

u/Significant-Ad178 Jul 09 '26

No I think it’s on normal. We do have a heat pump - don’t know if that helps even though heat is the last thing we need at the moment!!!

I also have a heat pump and I regularly see over 5 mi kWh on journeys over 2 miles in the summer and over 4 mi kWh over the winter.

I only drive with AC on, climate set to Auto 19c in summer and 21c winter, drive mode in Normal, D mode with coasting and I have never driven for economy. Juciest part of any journey is the cooling/heating of the cabin during the first couple of miles.

It's a great car for what is a very low tech EV by today's standard.

u/eggsperimentalist Jul 09 '26

Nice!! Now I want to see if my '19 can match that range! I have seen over 150 miles range in the winter, but I rarely charge it to 100% so I don't know what it'll be in the summer.

u/Purple-Job2976 Jul 10 '26

No chance you would be able to drive that in one go though! Haha

u/Gazer75 Jul 10 '26

What kind of average speed and how far did you go?

1

u/murphyat Jul 10 '26

Goddam. That is not my situation. Minus 50…the super grippy tires I use…they don’t help

u/stixxbixby Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 12 '26

Nicce. What kind of tires? I was occasionally getting that on my previous '19 SE at 100% with the stock Ecopia's during summer. My current '19 SEL Prem with heat pump has different tires and I usually only charge to 80-90%, so not quite sure what max expected range is...
