Test drive

[Tommm]

I dropped the car off with 750 miles. The tech tested it for 42 miles to confirm it would take a charge. That's OK. My neutron consumption for the first 750 miles was 4.5mi per KWH.

We picked up the car last night. I drove my 128, and and my wife ran some errands on the way home. This morning the neutron consumption for 800 miles dropped to 4.4mi per KWH.

Some people had fun with the car. It's only tires. I'm glad they did.

What wheel/tire combination are you using? I'm driving in mid mode (with A/C on) mixed freeway/city for 5.19 mi/kWh (Pirelli Cinturato P7 RFT summer and 17" black tentacle spoke).

It’s early days for me, so I can assure you I’m nowhere near these numbers! Lmfao

Is it possible they needed to discharge the battery? 42 miles is quite a lot though for something that ostensibly requires no test drive at all.

Goodyear F1s on 17" pedal wheels.

I did not get the same numbers with the red one. I am trying to keep my license so I can enjoy this one a long time.

Yes, they needed to discharge the battery. I brought it in because there was a charging issue that by charging, discharging, and charging confirmed is on my end.
