#ModelX

[EVs in Houston @EVNewsHouston]

I have a P90D model X. I charged it to 90% and discharged to 7%. That calculates to round 75 KWh of battery used when driving. However trip meter shows I used 50 KWh.

What am I missing? Can someone help explain?

The biggest weakness I noticed was reliance on @ElectrifyAm charging network, however with a 500+ mile range, most people won’t have to interact with those chargers

[EVs in Houston @EVNewsHouston]

Really exciting announcement from @LucidMotors today.

1. V2G, V2H & V2V were my favorite take-aways
2. Motor size & efficiency is very impressive
3. Charging rate & sustained peak charging rate is excellent

@TeslaOwnersNEUS Here in Texas people get offended if your car isn’t releasing fumes 😀

@captainarve @carinalarsen76 @chaserobertsonn You guys need cabin freeze protection there

Autopilot on city streets confusing the street lamps in distance with traffic lights & phantom breaking & cancelling braking itself a few times. Not exactly a corner case so worth looking into @karpathy @elonmusk

[EVs in Houston @EVNewsHouston]

@Salvanano @TeslaOwnersMX Yeah I have the same issue on my 22” OEM wheels. That’s why I asked if someone tried aftermarket 22” wheels & saw an improvement

[EVs in Houston @EVNewsHouston]

Have any Tesla Model X owners tried aftermarket 22” wheels and noticed improvement in efficiency as compared to OEM? Please share your experience

@TeslaOwnersMX I haven't heard of anyone having issue while supercharging in the rain.
More people can chime in @teslaownersSV @wholemars @seanmmitchell

Texas approves 12 GW of solar projects in seven months, yet 9 GW of battery projects languish: The Texas grid operator has more than tripled its pace of completing utility-scale solar interconnection studies since 2019. Yet… https://t.co/VmajO5cXPi #solarenergy #solarpv #solar

@tony4realtor Did that also improve the efficiency on your S?

[EVs in Houston @EVNewsHouston]

Owners of Raven Model X (April 2019 or newer) - What is the average efficiency you get from your car (in Wh/mile) in real world usage?
I have a 2016 MX P90D which has a rated range of 250 (rated at 350 Wh/mile) but I've never seen it run at that efficiency, even with slow driving
