My recommendation is to charge to 90% and plug in every night. Let the car manage the battery. That should give you ~275 rated miles, and you should get close to rated range in commuting. Easily 250 actual miles. You may find that you don’t need to charge every night. For road trips at highway speed, you will get less actual miles. It’s just physics. But you should be able to do that 180mile round trip and drive normally. You could always plug in for a few hours at your parents house — sure it’s slow, but an extra 10-12 miles might be all you need to erase your range anxiety. Play around with one of the trip planning tools (I use evtripplanner.com), or use the car Nav to run some scenarios — it’s gotten very good in the last updates.

I think one has a 1% or so chance of happening and the other about 99%. Will probably only happen after a class gets really screwed up by it, Maybe DS drivers will be the lucky ones next year?

At work I looked and the 27 mile trip averaged 369 w/mile. That's 211 range total for the full battery. Using 70% of the battery (85-15%) that's 147 miles total. EDIT: I do go up and back down a decent sized hill on the commute.. But I do also go back down it. This isn't a 1-way hill climb. It's the same commute and driving style where the e46 is averaging 26 MPG and the Colorado is 20 MPG Last edited by rumatt; 10-25-2018 at 01:50 PM. |

Wondering if the performance tires on rumatt's car end up significantly affecting the range compared to the non-performance Model 3s? |

Consensus seems to be it's the 20" wheels and the sticky tires.
They're great tires though. Tons of grip, quiet, comfortable.... I love driving the car. |

I like self checkout, too. I hate the slow ass fucking imbeciles in front of me that I have to wait for.
But when it fucks up, no one dies or gets hurt, and the person overseeing it fixes it, eventually.

For uphill vs downhill, you will gain most of the lost range from going uphill when you head back downhill (easily 90%). In my S, the first Supercharger trip we took in early 2014 was up to the Grand Canyon, Our house in Scottsdale was 129 miles to the Supercharger in Flagstaff, but there was a 5000 foot elevation gain, We used 190 rated miles going uphill (mostly at the speed limit, the last 20 miles were at about 7-8 over) but only ~120 heading back downhill (at 5-8 over most of the way)...
