2.6 M/Kwh not possible?

[SD39U]

I’ve been driving my Lightning for about 18 months now, and one thing that I have noticed on my daily trip is that I never can achieve 2.6M/KWh. I can do 2.5, I can do 2.7, but the truck will never show 2.6. Why?

Antone else notice this?

Must be the forbidden efficiency.

Conspiracy by Big Numbers to confound the everyday EV driver

I've noticed this for a long time. If you look at the "Trips" app on the center screen, you will see those "forbidden" values. I'm of the opinion that the instrument cluster display truncates to 1 decimal position and the center rounds correctly to 1 place. (Software dev here) So I'm guessing that the higher precision values are something like 2.50, 2.59, 2.70, or something like that. Rouding would give you 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, but truncating gives you 2.5, 2.5, 2.7.

Disclaimer: I'm talking out my butt, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Does anyone who lives in Florida get anything better than 2.2??? I think my average for the last 1600 miles or so is 2.1. I don’t do a ton of highway driving.

Not in Florida, but 2.3 since I bought my truck - 20,635 miles. Lots of local drives are higher than that, but long trips tend to be lower (high speed kills range).

It’s been discussed here before (a year or two ago) that there some numbers that will not display. That one sounds familiar to me.

Yep same here. Always jumps between 2.5-2.7
