Hi everyone,
My name's Alistair and I'm a freelance tech and automotive journalist.
Next weekend, I'll be heading from London to the Scottish Highlands in a Model S 100D borrowed from Tesla's PR division. I've driven several Teslas before, S and X, have used Superchargers etc. But I've not driven one this far before. The journey is to highlight Tesla's most northern Supercharger, which is at the MacDonald Highland Resort in Aviemore.
I'll be leaving London on Friday morning then staying the night with family in West Yorkshire, before continuing to an AirBnB about 35 miles east of the Aviemore charger, arriving Saturday evening.
My questions are, have any forum members used the Aviemore station yet? And where would people recommend recharging on the way? We don't plan to drive around much once at the AirBnB, but obviously need enough range to fill up at Aviemore before heading back to West Yorkshire on Monday then London on Tuesday.
Finally, the weather forecast is quite cold - around freezing at our destination - so any advice on how much this hurts range would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Alistair
