We've had our R1T for about a month but have only driven 700 miles. I noticed last week that our efficiency on "Trip B" which has the total number of miles since we took delivery seems rather poor. We have been averaging around 1.7 miles/kWh. Our "Trip A" had only about 300 miles on it and had an efficiency of 1.5 miles/kWh.
I thought this was rather odd so I reset the "Trip A" a couple of days ago on my way home from an errand. I only put about 5 miles on the computer after resetting. When I plugged in it was showing about 2.5 miles/kWh. When I went out in the morning the "Trip A" was now showing 0.8 miles/kWh. It appears the trip computers include all energy usage in the running total. So any vampire drain while the vehicle is sitting is included.
I'm not a fan of this method as it doesn't really reflect efficiency on the road which is more important for road trips. Yes it does reflect the total energy usage including all loses, but I'm much less concern about this value.
Hopefully they update the system to allow the option of turning off vampire drain or maybe including additional trip computers that some would track total energy, and some would track just energy used while driving.
Sorry if this was already discussed but I couldn't find a thread which this was covered.
