    The most economical way (lowest kW/mi) to keep yourself warm is to use the seat warmers rather than the a/c. In cold weather, I set the a/c to somewhere in the 50/60's and then use the seat warmer to do the rest. Settings will vary depending on local conditions.

    I don't have that level of detail, yet. But I did capture this 'pre-conditioning' charge profile:

    We will soon run out of cold weather to measure preconditioning, warm-up overhead. However, I am interested in the problem.

    Have you checked out the trip odometers yet. They automatically record the wh/mile. You get two rename-able trips plus one for teh current trip. (swipe right in the lower left of the screen. Swipe left to see tire pressures)

    Yes, I've used both and have a dash cam setup that 'looks over my shoulder.' I'm running down the battery so I can record the SuperCharger rates.

    Preliminary data indicates there is an inflection point at ~150-180 mi SOC when the rate of charging falls to a low rate. For cross country travel, I need to know the charge rate so I can calculate the block-to-block speed and trip time.

    Unfortunately you can't set the a/c below 60.

    I think this is obvious, but I will state it so no one can argue otherwise:
    Bob is doing this for research purposes. It doesn't take this research to drive a Tesla. In fact, I did 1200 miles in a day and half with no upfront research at all. The trip nav/computer did all the work for me.

    Fixing my own post...just to be complete:

    There are two trip odometers that you can name (I made trip B = "Lifetime" and don't reset it)
    There is one for the current trip that resets when you shift into drive or reverse...after the door has been opened/closed.
    There is one since the last charge...obviously resets when you charge
