I previously was driving a 17 year old ICE convertible that was a lot of fun to drive. I looked at the 911 and the Nissan GTR and couldn't justify the money. Those are great cars, but the incremental performance gains were not worth the money as my convertible still drove great and had limited...
The phone hold message for my dealership talks up the loaner cars. However each time I have asked about them, I have been told, "Oh, loaner cars are next to impossible to get because we have so few."
I did a decent chunk of this route this weekend. I have a 4S with 20" Pirelli winter tires as well. Temps were similar to yours although there was a decent amount of variation during the course of the weekend. I averaged 41 kWh/100 miles. In other words, your consumption was about 13.4%...
I have really appreciated being able to switch modes via the knob on the steering wheel. I find that much easier to do than fiddling with the screen, but that is just me.
I too am over 6' 3" and don't have any issues. That said, it could be my expectations. I used to own a '95 Mazda RX-7. Getting in that thing required some serious gymnastics.
I don't watch battery temperature closely. I can try keeping an eye on it.
Outdoor temperature has gone from in the 80's and 90's to being in the 40's (and dropping). Cabin temp is set the same, and I usually keep the fan on pretty low.
Good call on reviewing the consumption data in the...
I too am seeing about a 50 mile drop with the weather. (Mine has gone from 300+ miles to about 250 miles.) I am watching the energy consumption more closely to see if I can deduce whether consumption truly has gone up.
I went back and forth on all season versus summer tires. Summer tires definitely give you way more performance. That said, the all season tires offer a lot of performance on this car. I went on a test drive and the dealer took a 25 MPH corner at 60 and the tires didn't make so much as a squeal...
At 85% my car most of the time has shown 265 miles of range. Divide that by .85 and you get about 310 miles at full charge. As the cold weather has rolled in I am seeing about 245 to 255 miles at 85% charge so more like 285 to 290 miles at full charge. I fully expect that number will drop as...
