Curious what people are getting for efficiency long term. I’m getting about 2.62. I have a dual max r1t with 21” wheels.

While I appreciate the thought, this is so variable as to almost be worthless unless you really dig into the data.

Your climate, what model, tires, do you tow, how fast do you drive, etc. will make it very difficult to get much useful info out of it.

I have been towing about 10% of the time. This just kills my range. I live in a pretty hot climate so I'll run my AC on my Gen1 truck. Others may have very cold winters which kills the efficiency as well. Some have more aggressive tires, others are focused on hypermiling and the most efficient tires.

It will interesting to see how the votes are, but not that useful. There have been several threads where people posted efficiency numbers at given speeds.

I voted and am at 2.42 mpk currently. I have a G1 R1T quad rolling on 20" Goodyear Territory ATs for reference. I typically enjoy the power so my efficiency will suffer as a result and high speed limits in Texas doesn't help either.

Yeah I realize many variables will be at play and I’ve seen the other threads. I figure having a poll makes the data easier to see even if it isn’t perfect.

I got where you were going with this. Just not sure how relatable it will be without people providing context. I've seen some of the Rivians on the road that are probably close 3.0 mpk on the highways here. They were doing 60 while I was doing 80 (when the wind noise was making me deaf).

Do I win a prize for lowest? (It should be even lower - Trip A was accidentally reset at about the 3000 mile mark - and a majority of those early miles were towing an 8000 lb travel trailer.) Yes, I do a lot of towing.

Gen 1 Quad, 20"AT.

Those voted above 2.7miles/kWh, you guys must drive downhill going and. coming back :)

Other than some very short instances, I've never experienced that high of milage on the sustained basis, let alone on a road trips.

Yeah a screen shot of the trip meter for the super high or super lower numbers would be very helpful.

Your trip meters don't tell the whole story. Like Tesla, they don't seem to account for vampire drain when the vehicle is off or charging inefficiencies. I have a power/energy monitor on my home EVSE and track all charging sessions away from home as well.

Based off the trip meter on the vehicle, my efficiency is 1.72 mi/kWh, but based off the actual electricity pulled from the grid to recharge the battery, it's 1.49 mi/kWh. Most driving is at 70+ mph and I have all-terrain tires on the R1T, so I have pretty poor efficiency overall, but just pointing out the difference between the two numbers.

As mentioned, Tesla does the same. On my Model 3, with 120,030 miles, the trip meter reports an efficiency of 3.72 mi/kWh vs an actual efficiency of 3.11 mi/kWh.

Right on. Vampire losses are a whole other ball of wax. Was just trying to get driving efficiency data here.

I'm hovering close to the 2.6mi/kW mark. I got a Dual Large with the 21's. Im just past 23k on the odometer. Winter took a large chunk out of my efficiency.
