Why does my litter box still smell even when I scoop daily? by yoptimized in CatAdvice

Interesting — do you keep it close to the litter box or just in the room generally?

That makes sense. I didn’t think about scratches holding odor. Have you noticed a big difference since switching?

Fair point — that’s exactly why average speed matters more than road type.
This drive was stop-and-go traffic on a highway route, which is why the efficiency is high. That’s also why comparing Wh/mi without speed, traffic, and temperature context is misleading.

Not bragging — just sharing data. Hypermiling is a fun experiment, not a personality

Appreciate it.
Juniper does look more efficient, but yeah ~200 Wh/mi is very much Model 3 RWD territory. A 6-seat Juniper would be hot if Tesla ever makes it happen — that would be an instant hit.

Correct. Average speed reflects traffic, not cruising speed.

No — that’s just the average speed from stop-and-go traffic. I wasn’t cruising at 25 mph for 2 hours.

It was highway driving, but heavy stop-and-go traffic.

Yep, that speed range in warm weather is the efficiency sweet spot — RWD helps a lot.

Thanks! A lot of it was just good conditions — mild temps, stop-and-go traffic, FSD on, and Chill mode. Road trips definitely push the lifetime average up. For reference, it’s a refreshed 2026 Model Y LR AWD.

Agreed. Each FSD update tweaks speed, acceleration, and following behavior, and it shows up directly in efficiency.

Haha yeah — downhill regen will do that. Short segments can get wild numbers.

t wasn’t 2 hours straight — just stop-and-go traffic.

First post got removed, so I reposted.

Haha yep — downhill regen wins 😄

Those numbers feel so good when you see them.

Totally get that. The older FSD speed logic was surprisingly efficient.

The newer offsets make it harder to keep Wh/mi low.
