BMW i3, the Wii Mii replacement
Discussion
The Bridgestones also come with low tread from new.
Michelin are a much better tyre in the i3 sizes. However there are a few fitting different, “more normal” sized and more readily available tyres on to the 20” i3s wheels. Apparently can effect efficiency slightly, but improves handling too.
I’ve struck to standard spec on my 19’s thus far
Glad you’re enjoying the car

Heh-heh, just normal eco mode, mostly burbs stuff with some country roads and little dual carriageway. Heater was on 16C, even switched the a/c on later on to check if it actually works....!
As per earlier post, efficiency had slowly climbed from a pretty steadfast 4.5 up to 4.7. This weeks running around has brought it up to 4.8 m/kWh. That's just over 2k miles since purchase and it's slowly getting warmer-ish which is helping.
Even got some tunes onto the built in hard drive which is a first for me!

How have you done the past month, OP? For no particular reason I reset my trip each month, and my month-end dash figure came out at 4.6mi/kWh for June (all in comfort, with S tyres), and a new (to me) high of 170 miles range when brimmed yesterday (again, comfort mode).
Pleased with that though I was, my dull-man's-spreadsheet indicates (with increasing consistency) it is a good 30% optimistic - if one divides the actual trip mileage by the actual kWh charged, it's more like 3.4mi/kWh. Which is still good, just less good. Suppose an amount is used for preconditoning etc, and maybe the trip figure doesn't count that.
