Is this the trip from Frisco to Denver?2.7? C'mon now.
Incorrect. It's a mixture of all modes provided. In conserve mode alone I'd imagine the actual range should be in excess of 320 miles.EPA range is done in All-purpose mode, not conserve.
Close. North Breck to East Denver, via swan mountain and over Loveland pass to avoid a big backup at the tunnel.Is this the trip from Frisco to Denver?
Yeah best I have done with the 20” ATs in conserve was 2.4 over a 250mile drive in Wisconsin that was with cruise set to around 61mph (58-59 GPS) but with my roof rack on so I was pretty impressedI pretty pretty consistently get about 2.3 based on the trip meter for road trips in conserve. Which lines up with what I see in actual range (about 293 miles in conserve on AT 20's driving 10+ over the speed limit). This is based on a lot of ascent / descent on my trips (one was up over the rockies the other was up over the Siskyious as well as in and out of the Yosemite Valley).
When starting and stopping all of the force to change momentum is applied to the front wheels.Seems really odd. For tire wear, how is it any different from a normal rear or front wheel drive vehicle? Regarding motor wear, is anyone expecting these motors to "wear out" before the 175,000 mile warranty period? I seemed to think that outside of total failure for one reason or another, electric drive units are basically bulletproof.
You're right, the EPA docs show that the testing was done in conserve (best range mode) and sport (worst range mode). That's the reason the truck kicks out of off-road mode automatically as it's even worse than sport mode for range and they wanted the better EPA numbers.Incorrect. It's a mixture of all modes provided. In conserve mode alone I'd imagine the actual range should be in excess of 320 miles.
I've switched back and forth at highway speeds multiple times to see if it would let me, and it did. Figured if they didn't lock it out that it was probably pretty safe to do so.Another data point, averaged over 2.5mi/kwh in All Purpose today with cruise set at 70 on the interstate (rolling hills). Wanted to see how different AP was from Conserve. I was getting close to 2.9 mi/kwh on the same stretch going the other way in Conserve.
For going to Conserve, is anyone treating it like shifting into 4wd and only doing it while stopped or are people changing from AP or Sport to Conserve while on highway at speed?
Drive modes are locked out from being changed above 85 mph.I've switched back and forth at highway speeds multiple times to see if it would let me, and it did. Figured if they didn't lock it out that it was probably pretty safe to do so.
Finally, a real range testI pretty pretty consistently get about 2.3 based on the trip meter for road trips in conserve. Which lines up with what I see in actual range (about 293 miles in conserve on AT 20's driving 10+ over the speed limit).
