    I will go first.

    I'm down to about 12 miles (both on guessometer and real world)
    1. 97000
    2. 26%
    3. work from home, so no standard commute, but I do go to the gym every morning. Lots of hills here, but I don't have to take any highways or freeways
    4. Nebraska, one of the larger cities though (hot summers and cold winters)
    5. inside mild temperature garage (but for about a year and a half I charged in a garage that got extremely hot in the summers)
    6. level 1 only
    7. brand new Michelin Defenders LRRs, 44psi, saw about a 10-20% mileage hit when old ones were replaced

    This never gets old :D.. always happy to play..

    Net elevation change from home to work is -600ft or thereabouts. I get to work in all EV with around 0.1 to 2+ miles left, depending on traffic, light timing, hard stops, etc. On the way home, I usually only get to about 10.5 to 11 miles before the engine starts up. My work commute it all city, no freeway.


    1. total vehicle mileage
    30,300 miles or so

    2. EV%
    Lifetime, on my spreadsheet, about 85%

    3. average commute (including speed and distance)
    12.8 miles each way

    4. where they live
    Southern California, OC

    5. where they charge (inside garage or out)
    Outside

    6. level 1 or level 2 charging
    Level 1 at work, Level 2 at home

    7. new tires? LRR? pressure?
    New-ish tires, Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 205/50/17 LRR, I try to keep them around 50psi, but its probably around 45 or so, normally

    My car drives me nuts. I have been only using EV the last few months. When I first started only using EV my indicator said I'd get 11.1 miles when it was completely charged. Over the course of the next month it would go up every few charges by 0.1. About 2 weeks ago I hit 12.6. Soon as I hit 12.6 it started going down every few charges and now I'm down to 12.0 already. I haven't driven differently and it's been similar weather all along. It's frustrating because just a few weeks ago I could get to work with .8 -1.4 EV miles remaining now I'm having to adjust my driving just to make it without running out.

    i'll give it a few generations to try and get it right, but i'm sure they will sell some. let those buyers sort out the problems. besides, who can think about buying a car that's not even available just a few pics on the inter webs?

    My 2014 PIP is just coming up on 20k miles, so I'm with both of you, it will be a while before it needs replacing.
