Couple tips on it:
- I usually set the "speed multiplier" to 1.1 -- that's supposed to mean 10% above the average flow of traffic (per the Google Maps API reported speed, but also seems to be close to 10% above the posted limit based on my own observations).
- You can play with headwind/tailwind speeds if you experience windy conditions on this route
- You can also change things like the temperature to see what its like in summer vs other seasons.
- It has some other settings, but things like payload don't really impact range too much (especially for a long trip where you are not accelerating/decelerating, which is when the additional weight has an impact)...

Not knowing exactly which lake you are on, I just did a route from Philly to Seneca Falls, NY, which is 273 miles. At 1.2 speed multiplier (so even faster), it says a Model S P100D with 19" wheels would need 300 rated miles to make that route -- with average speed for the trip at 71mph (with ~200 miles of it between 78-83). Here's the link: https://www.evtripplanner.com/planner/2-8/?id=33ke9e28
Distance 266.9 miles
Driving Time 3:45
Charging Time 0:00
Total Trip Time 3:45
Total Energy Used 115.2 kWh
384 RM
Average Efficiency 432 Wh/mile
Net Elevation Change 249 feet

That's what it said. Not sure what it means. is 384 the amount of power miles I would use?
