My Lightning, on the other hand, has been getting ~6.2 miles/kWh on the surface streets in the LA area. I'm here to help some friends and family with recovery after the Eaton Fire in Altadena. We took a 40 mile round trip drive the other day and used <5% of the battery. Typical efficiency numbers here have been 3-4 miles/kWh. I could get used to this except the local price of electricity is $0.25/kWh, while my home electricity price is only $0.035/kWh.

Wow, that beats my e-Golf! I have never seen anywhere near 3 mi/kWh on my Lightning. If you tell me that you have a pro with the normal sized tires I’m headed out to Les Schwab tonight, that is the one difference I can think of between my SR Lariat and any other model (no sunroof, etc.)

Although honestly it doesn’t really matter, what I have has been good enough to make it from the Canadian border to California with no real stress.

I have an ER Lariat with stock tires (I do not like the feel of the stock tires, so am looking for LTs for when I replace these). Freeway driving I get ~2.3-2.5 miles/kWh unless it's really cold or I have to drive at higher than reasonable speeds (or I'm towing or...)
