I picked up a 2021 Model S this weekend and its been great so far, but I have a question about the range. I know it wont get the advertised ~405mi of range but I was surprised to see that I go though nearly 20% of the battery on my commute to work. My commute is 55mi, mostly highway at 75 to 80 mph. The car has 43k mi and I've averaged 310 wh/mi so far. I'm wondering if these numbers sound normal, or if there is some calibration or something I'm missing.

EDIT: Thanks for all the help! It's definitely the highway speeds that hurt the range more than I initially thought. I tried driving 5mph slower today and my wh/mi reduced by almost 30! Knowing this helps alot.

Update to my previous post, I decided to replace my 7900xt for a 9070xt in white.

Rebuilt my old pc with almost all new components. Everything is new besides the cpu, gpu, ram, and storage.

I'm considering swapping the gpu for a 9070xt, mainly so I can get something that would match better. What models do you recommend?
