A certain public security patrol team often patrols on a street running east to west. One afternoon, the patrol team drove an electric car to patrol from a sentry box located on this street. If it is stipulated that east is positive and west is negative, the mileage they traveled (unit: $km$) is as follows: $-6$, $-2$, $+8$, $-3$, $+6$, $-4$, $+6$, $+3$. Ask:<br/>$(1)$ On which side of the sentry box is the car located after completing the patrol? How far is it from the sentry box in kilometers?<br/>$(2)$ It is known that this electric car consumes $0.15$ degrees of electricity per kilometer on average. How much electricity does the car consume in total this afternoon?
