Roll down to your post office during off hours and count the number of trucks. I live in a very small city (people used to SF or NY wouldn't even call it a "city") and we've got dozens.
Not sure where you're getting the 1000Wh/mile number, but if it's from "normal driving" it won't apply. Mail delivery is stop and start, which is much worse. (If regenerative braking was 100% it'd be fine, but it's nowhere near that.)
- antattack 6y agoModel 3 in Winter with heating on uses 420Wh/mile when driving 70mph. I think 1000Wh/mile is very generous estimate.
- jerf 6y agoI think you are all greatly underestimating how much damage it does to drive down a neighborhood, stopping every hundred feet, and re-accelerating. Cruising speed consumption is not a useful number here.
