So, having read the posts in the other thread about reduced P85D range, I've become very concerned about the car that I'm taking delivery of in a week.
With the exception of local travel, virtually all of my runs either start or end with a 300km (187 mile) run between Sudbury and a new SC in Barrie, on a fairly fast highway - 70-75 mph. And of course I'm in Canada, so it can get pretty cold and travelling without heat is not an option. By reducing speed a bit, by the old (increased from P85) numbers, this appeared doable in all but the worst of conditions. But with with a 15% reduction in range, it becomes doable in only the best of conditions.
Without this run, the car becomes an expensive toy for summer travel and local driving. That's not really of interest to me. I'm seriously considering cancelling and either waiting to see what the S85 real range is, or giving up on Tesla until the 110s come out.
I'd appreciate some opinions from any experienced owners out there, on whether I should give up on the P85D for now.
Thanks! :crying:
