Just picked mine up from the shop after getting PPF on the front + hood + rockers (XPEL Ultimate Plus) and ceramic coating on the entire car (and the interior). It looks like a showroom car. Hoping I can keep it that way, if only even for a little while!

For completeness, here's the TeslaFi stats. It didn't include the beginning 10 miles, but close enough. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HU5DWz2oGAeauvK88 @PACEMD - I was guessing around 15 in Billings. One was on the delivery truck with mine last week, going to the heights. I'm betting we see more...

Update: Made it just fine, with 29% battery to spare. Drove between 70 - 80 the whole way (speed limit is mostly 80 on this stretch). Outside temps were 20 - 35F the whole trip. Didn't even have to worry AT ALL about range. Autopilot did a spectacular job, too. I love this car.

I actually had checked ABRP and tried to plug in worst case scenarios. It doesn't account for winter tires (X-ICE3), of which I've heard can sap a decent amount of battery, so I wasn't completely sure of how much to trust its numbers, is all.

Yeah, I'll need to have climate control on. If it was just me, I'd be fine with a coat and a seat warmer... but wife and kid won't be happy with a cold ride. If I'm halfway there and I'm showing uncomfortable margins then I'll have people toss on a coat and turn it down, but I'll plan on a...

The tips on the 14-30 adapter are greatly appreciated, but with the HPWC being installed next week, I may just rely on the 120V and super chargers for now. The destination hotel has a V2 super charger, so I should be able to find plenty of time to get it back to 100% for the return trip. I'll...

OK, these replies are making me feel much more confident. I think we'll be just fine. I'll plan on ensuring it's at 100% charge, start the trip a little below the speed limit (~65MPH), and ramp that up as I get closer/feel more confident. Thanks again, everybody.

Here's what I see when I plug the SC into my trip planner: https://photos.app.goo.gl/GjEcUBBw3CbCJeKW6 The car's only charged at 70% and it thinks I'd have 16% remaining, so that seems like a great sign. I'm not sure whether it's completely accounted for the new tires yet, though, since I've...

Yeah, this was my thinking. I pre-heat in the mornings (via turning climate control on through the app) and it drops charge a few percentage to do it, so I think that pulls more than the 120V is able to provide. I'd planned on charging to 100% at home but stopping at the super charger mostly...

This all helps me understand things a lot. Thank you!

Yes, we're staying at the hotel in Sheridan with the super charger, so charging on arrival is a given. The trip planner is showing 141 miles distance between cities, so I was going off of that and just rounding up 9 miles. So yeah, there's no charging stops along the ~140 mile route, but...

I think I've already talked myself out of the trip, but if I do decide to do it, I'll absolutely report back. A few follow-up questions just because I'm curious, though. Why supercharge only on arrival? Isn't it better to have a warm battery from the start? Also, ID weather around Moscow is...

Thanks, all. It sounds to me like this would be a no brainer in Spring/Summer/Fall conditions with stock tires, but there's possibly a slight risk of range with this weather/config at the moment. I think I'll rely on my ICE car for this one, just to not have to worry about it, even though the...

I am, but still awaiting an electrician for my home wall charger, so I'm only on a 120V outlet. There's a supercharger on the way out of town, so I figured a 15 minute stop there to warm up/top off wouldn't be a bad idea.

The official Tesla route planner doesn't show any charging options in between. I've been able to find 1 report of a NEMA 14-50 along the route on plugshare, but it's a dated report and I really don't want to rely on it. I've toyed with ABRP but it doesn't seem to account for winter tires, so I...
