Efficiency Vs. Temperature: Data Update, Conserve Only Helps in Warm Temps.

[Budman]

I forgot about this update!

So it diverges at 40°F. Now the question is, what are the individual impacts of conserve and ride height? I imagine conserve is the bigger difference, but you know what happens when you assume... (Spoiler alert: you get married after 9 months of dating and regret it until your divorce)

Here is an updated chart showing percent change in efficiency vs temperature. Hopefully this is representative at different traveling speeds.

Regarding relationship advice, my fall back is to use graphs, statistics and powerpoint presentations when having discussions with my wife. You could give that a try but I'll admit, I've had mixed results with that approach.....

I did the same, probably contributed to the demise of the first one. Totally had nothing to do with being young and dumb in the military, doing it for benefits...

I've seen much success with the "Yes, Dear" approach in this relationship, it's much healthier.

Cross-posting but I'm seeing pretty good efficiencies with a warm battery! We opted for conserve/low to be safe, and it helps compare stock ATs to the Ram 2363 AT build I have now. I had to plug in 2.35mi/kWh in ABRP compared to using 2.2 with stock ATs in winter to match our first leg's consumption. Started with 100% and 94°F battery with 45°F outside before the elevation gain, now across the pass it's been 34°F.

Sorry, they won’t.

Slow down, check your tire pressure and turn downwind.
