I am getting about 1 mile per percent. I never trust that display, I always use battery percentage. But I drive 80 mph everywhere, freeway.
I am solar powered at my house and other people pay for the power other places I charge. So there is no cost of energy for me. But if I was paying, it would be about 12 cents per kWh (it can go as low as 8 cents depending on how you do it). So $3.60/charge or 3 cents per mile. (2.4 cents per mile at the lower tariff) Hyundai was getting 34 mpg. So 7.4 cents per mile.

I definitely notice more aggressive regen control on eco mode but we are seeing 120-125 mile on the display even after using 5-8% of the battery. Considering you can drive one for about $4K a year, almost no maintenance, and about ¼ of the cost of gas, it’s got to be one of the best values out there.

Think this will hurt sales? They already did this to the Model X. Or are they hoping the Model 3 will fill the gap?

Any 60 kWh Model S will have the ability to upgrade their battery to 75 kWh via an over the air update.
