Those numbers sound exactly right 👍 A Tesla should get ~4 miles/kilowatt hr, while the rolling brick we call our truck gets ~2 miles/kilowatt hr. Thus, a Tesla can go twice as far as a lightning using the same amount of energy. If you’re charging at 6 kilowatt hours, then a Tesla should get...

Excellent questions, “At least once a year outside at an airport for a month in January.” This concerns me because EVs maintain a minimum battery temperature since batteries won’t charge below ~freezing; if left cold, the battery will drain itself to keep warm enough to accept a charge.

I just got the SoC update last night on my ‘23 pro!! So glad it finally arrived after 9 months and almost 20,000 miles! So be patient OP, they are slow but it is coming. They shouldn’t be this slow with updates, and you have a right to be upset, but the update is coming.

Excellent question The 240v plug puts out 30 amps which totals to 7.2kw, but you still have the cabin/frunk circuit which is 120v at 20 amps which totals to another 2.4kw; thus, the truck can output 9.6kw, but you have to use the front and back of the truck.

I’m trying to convince my Mom to get an ev, and the 240v plug lets me tell her that I can charge her car if her battery dies (she has range anxiety). I have used the outlets plenty of times at job sites running hammer drills and such, but never gotten remotely close to the 9.6k watt range...

I was hoping for a residential DC Fast Charger...

I had a very similar trip efficiency (1.5 - 1.8 mi/kwh)a couple months ago on a 400 mile trip (60-70 degrees F, 70 miles/hour; headwind/tailwind had the same effect you described); I made a 600 mile trip two weeks ago at 70-85 degrees and 70-80 miles/hour (no noticeable wind effects) and got 2.2...
