FWIU he made money

Yes I made money, but that is including bonuses

[Shmulie]

So total spent on electric is both of those numbers, or is the $991 included in the $1,298.35? If the former, it seems you paid about $0.14/mile. Does that sound right?

4,958*.20 = $991.60 paid

991.6÷16,175 = 0.06/mile

I have no clue how you got the 0.14/mile number

I was calculating the total of the 2 numbers. Seems like averaging gas at $3 and 20mpg, seems like your cost vs gas would be ~$0.15 for gas and ~$0.06 for electric. I like that because I an punch my personal numbers in to see my savings (if gas/electric is much more/less by me)

Okay I understand

For reference my previous car was taking premium gas and getting about 10 miles per gallon
So it is a huge difference for me

what were you driving

what were you driving

2000 Lexus LS400

Precisely why I was asking for the details Some people are getting gas at $1.75 and 30mpg, others are getting gas for $5 and 9mpg.

what were you driving

I drive a 2020 Acadia and get about 10mpg. I don't use premium, but I do almost exclusively do city driving. Also, that probably shouldn't be the cars efficiency number, as my wife probably spends a lot of time idling the car which greatly hurts that average. I should calculate my actual consumption VS my milage like @Shmulie did to get a real stat

FYI I don't drive very efficiently (love the Tesla acceleration) and winter driving efficiency is much worse, although I think the newer models added a heat pump which helps significantly

I think Tesla bases range on 250wh/mi

Looks like my average is 307wh/mi and that's with me trying to drive more efficiently

Do you have TeslaFi?
Must have for any Tesla driver.

I do not, what exactly is the benefit. I remember I looked into it when I first got the car but I don't remember much about it

Tesla is way more efficient at idling.

[Shmulie]

Tesla is way more efficient at idling.

Sitting with the heat on in the winter kills my range

Lots of fun stats, plus it can potentially get you out of a ticket with the driving history.

Worth the $50 a year?

Also how would that get you out of a ticket

[Dan]

I suppose that will depend if it saves you from getting a BS speeding ticket. Free trial either way.

[Shmulie]

I don't get how it can help with that

How many BS speeding tickets do you expect to get in a trial period???

[Dan]

How many BS speeding tickets do you expect to get in a trial period???

None, but you can see what else it offers.

[Dan]

I don't get how it can help with that

I got pulled over by a cop who said a plane clocked me at 91. I was cruising at 79 in a 70 zone. Still got a ticket, but didn't get points.

Does inspect elements work w it?
