I think the headwind makes more of a difference than removing the hub caps. A better way to test would be to remove them half way in each direction. That way you are keeping the same headwind variable.

It very well could, so maybe the initially high rate of 330 Wh/mi was because of that. Even when things levelled out though, we still saw the 5/10% difference. We’ll try the same method in summer but might have to do a different version with your method! Cheers Clive

The newer LFP battery in the 2022 M3 SR+ can be charged to 100% daily according to Tesla. Range is effected by the wheel size, the smaller 18” wheels give you a more comfortable ride and longer range, bigger wheels harsher ride and shorter range

Well done. Thanks, guys! I had heard of 3-4% better with the aero covers, but they might well be much more effective in freezing temps. I have a 2021 LR as well and plan to keep my aero covers on during the Winter months and take them off during the Summer when range is much better anyway.

Thanks Philip! Yeah we had also heard about the 3-4% effectiveness but agree that in the colder weather it makes more sense they’d be more impactful. That’s a good plan! We’ll run the test again when it’s warm to see if it really is the cold that makes it even more effective.

Thanks for the video. Really interesting about the aero wheels. I am looking at a 3LR and was considering other wheels but I’ll stick with the Aeros.
@TheMasterBrothers
3 жыл бұрын
Glad you found it useful! On that point, i think it’s still worth considering Tesla’s other wheels; their design looks like it would more efficient than the aero wheels with the cover removed. But still, probably not as efficient as the aero wheels. Just depends on if you value the aesthetic enough to justify the cost and slight efficiency reduction!
@Brainman365

Thanks. That’s a good point. Aeros without covers weren’t built for efficiency. I do prefer the wheels on the 3P but can’t justify the cost for the rest of the car.

Just FYI the sharing is only with V2 superchargers - V3 chargers don't have the sharing thing

Ahh interesting. We charged at the Park Royal Supercharger which is V3, and for some reason only got around 150kW. It was pretty busy though, and the rate went up when someone in stall C left (we were in stall A). Not too sure why that was if there wasn’t sharing involved!

Was there an elevation difference? (Maybe slightly downhill on the average going to your destination, which would mean going slightly uphill on the return journey)
@TheMasterBrothers
3 жыл бұрын
Good point, but the elevation difference was only 20ft (226ft at destination, 206ft at start) so it’s actually uphill on the way there and downhill on the way back! But the change is negligible anyways :)

The standard aero wheels that come with the Standard Range + and Long Range Model 3 and Model Y are actually regular alloy wheels, with covers on them to make them more aerodynamic. You can remove the covers if you prefer the look like we did, but they are actually quite effective at improving the car’s efficiency!
