Unexpected Conserve vs All Purpose Efficiency Behavior

[SANZC02]

That's how I've run my road trips too, regardless of temp, but now I'm considering not changing mode and/or height in lower temps. The question is... What temp, and what to not change?

I did not graph it but the first 1100 miles was under 30 degrees and it still seemed like it made a difference. It was my maiden voyage so I was not familiar with the vehicle, I was paying a lot of attention to range estimates and what the destination range left was.

Where we at with this? We leave for Montana tomorrow and I'm debating ride mode and height. @zefram47 has me questioning low, and the temps have me questioning Conserve. We'll leave with a warm battery, headwind looks like 5mph, and temps will be 40°F +/-5.

I'm on 275/60R20 Wildpeaks with Ram 2363. My average has been 2mi/kWh so I'm somewhat concerned.

Hi

i know you found this update on another thread but I will post the update here for completeness. This chart is a bit different, it shows percent change with temperature. I’m hopeful that this will hold true across different traveling speeds. I personally think ride height has a pretty small impact on efficiency
