Good to know. Thank you! I haven't made that drive as often as I used to, but it still happens a few times a year.

 

I went from a Jeep GC Diesel to this Vehicle. See you had a BMW Diesel. As for as ICE goes they were the best range warriors ever. And in a storm or emergency you could always get Diesel in Florida.

 

Great info. I'd love to see the range not in conserve mode, but in all purpose.

 

Thanks for sharing.

When I do efficiency tests, gas or electric, I always check the calibration of the odometer. Because odometers often read high enough to throw off the efficiency considerably. If they over-count the miles travelled, then the efficiency is over-stated. Also, the speedometer calibration. They never read too low, so you are often not going as fast as you think.

I've noticed a lot of people think the odometer and speedometer calibrations are locked to each other, if the odometer reads too high by 3% then the speedometer will read too fast by 3% but, surprisingly, this is not typically the case.

 

How much do you get in all purpose mode typically

 

Thanks for the info. What's your number in all purpose mode?

 

Got my R1S 2 months ago, the range is barely at 1.8miles per kwh. I mostly drive on highways at 75miles/hour, all standards and automatic. Nothing fancy. What am I doing wrong?

 

All purpose or conserve on the highway? Should be in conserve.

 

I would only disagree on one point here... The tire wear comment about Conserve mode is much more likely to occur when driving OFF the HWY, when turning, accelerating and decelerating in FWD only. Once on a straight away on the HWY, and if you leave the height set at standard ride height, you will not see tire wear. When the vehicle is set to AUTO ride height and it lowers in conserve mode on the HWY, there can be more pressure placed on the inner edges of the tires and you could potentially see more toe wear after 1000's of miles. I do see better range numbers when driving in conserve on the HWY for long multi-hour legs of a trip.
