For those who are planning to go Paradise, Mt Rainier My Model X used 45kWh for round trip of Auburn Supercharger <=> Paradise visitor center (typical early summer weather, Model X 75D pre-raven / 35 kWh for hiking up, 10kWh for winding down)

Thanks for posting this. But I think Canada Supercharger locations is more proper place to post this. This forum is for Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington locations as description under title says.

Model X manual describes what you want to know :)

I went there end of July and it seems like hasn't started yet :) Can't wait chargers are coming!

Is manual updated? IIRC, when I read manual (about 1.5 yr ago) there was no statement of "tunnel". It only said "divided highway" which also applies to SR-99 tunnel

FYI, they have 4hr limit with 5kW output

Our tires are being worn out and time to replace has come. Not sure which is best option for replace OEM tires? (all season = M+S) I tried to search threads but most of them were about winter tires or many years ago. Does people normally come to service center and replace them with another OEM...

If someone traveling from East Washington to Mt Rainier, Cle Enum would be the last SC before hitting Sunrise and it needs more charge on the way. (Issaquah SC is urban type and super crowded at the peak time and weekend / Tesla recently forced 80% charging limit on this location, busy time...

Credit to @Araman0 ! He found permit near Olympia

it's more like Olympia Supercharger, rather than Auburn SC - Find Us | Tesla

Wow if it's supercharger, then Tesla owners will be able to go Paradise, Mt Rainier! finally!

I think "coverage" is more important than demand. Tesla should cover most of territory first, then put supplementary charger. it's shameful to say "I cannot (or risky) go Paradise in Mt. Rainier with my Tesla" while Rainier NP is one of the most visited NP in the country.

Average winter temperature (around 40F?), range mode on, cabin temp 70~72 If you drive +10 mph all the time, energy consumption would be same as me. (I was slowed down by traffic near Everett, Marysville, and border)

I do that regularly in Winter with my X 75D, you should have no issue. I generally travel between Bellevue - Whistler, and it took 50kWh from Bellevue - Surrey SC. This is photo that I took at Surrey SC, "trip Whistler" started from Bellevue (near Issaquah SC)

Right, I would do that if I can do with my X 75D in winter. Unfortunately, to make it possible(hitting Squamish without charge), I might need to drive slower than traffic with chilly cabin temp. (hills and HVAC decreases efficiency worse than expected) I would not say hitting one is worse than...
