[Trip Report] - I'm peddling as fast as I can to generate electrons… PEC ATL to Santa Cruz in a Macan EV Turbo?

33.3 at 78 mph avg is BONKERS!!

Now I'm wondering if there really is a longer break in period. The elevation is one thing but those first stretches were oddly bad.

33.3 is just fantastic at that avg speed. And it's still on the cooler side temperature wise, right? 50s?

and you haven't even seen our "peak" speeds as we _FLY_ past the trucks…OMGl this thing is awesome

but I think the HWY 40 west path is a "challenging" path for an EV - HWY 40 east would be interesting exploration…

I'm learning soo much about this car…

down hill into Albuquerque - consumption has dropped from 50'ish kwh/100 mlies to less than 40 - and is still dropping…

wow - we hauled a 5000 lbs SUV up to 7000 feet at well over 75 mph over 900 miles in less than day…perhaps this is not as bad as it looks…

5800 ft now…but 22 F temp…

At 5800 flat (not going down I hope) of course you will see better efficiency. I’m at sea level, and see 37 at 78miles/h

It's great hearing someone falling in love with their new car, there's nothing quite like it.
