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...

I just recently received my LR AWD last week and am trying to plan a trip tomorrow. I've been reading a lot of things online about degraded winter range, so other owner's opinions about whether I'd be safe to make this trip would be massively helpful in alleviating my range anxiety. Details: -...

There's not very many Teslas in Billings Montana, but I've chatted with another forum member from here about his, and found out that there's even a local Tesla group. You don't see a Tesla very often around town, here. I think that will change soon.

Yeah, I'm definitely not that same guy as the Facebook dude. The transport guy had to drive through some serious weather to get it here, and nothing a wash can't fix! Photo of how it arrived (which, again, I'm totally fine with since all it needs is a wash)...

Took delivery of mine today. The delivery coordinator was basically clueless throughout this whole thing (carrier direct to home delivery... he'd sent an email this morning talking about how the car would probably be picked up today; the third party transport guy had already called me the night...

I e-mailed my delivery coordinator this morning. He'd told me that they're waiting on more cars to arrive before they'd ship mine (I'm doing carrier direct) and he didn't know when I should expect it to arrive. Got a call 30 minutes ago from a shipping company telling me they'd be here tomorrow...

550 miles from nearest SC. Carrier direct assistant told me that I'd need to plan on picking it up to ensure the tax credit (a few days ago), but it arrived at the SC today, so I asked them about shipping it and being on time. They told me they can make that happen, so I got to avoid a short...

I was 11/30 and will probably get to pick it up by the end of next week. Any time I have any gripes about this whole process I remember you poor bastards who have been waiting since October, or earlier. I have no idea how Tesla is ordering/prioritizing things, but that's got to be maddening.

This has been a fun day. My VIN appeared last night, and my delivery coordinator emailed me this morning. Since I'm more than 500 miles from a SC, the plan was to do a carrier direct delivery. The guy handling that has told me that the car is in Fremont, and I'd be "highly unlikely" to get a...

Nice, ambient! So from what I'm reading, it's anywhere from 4 hours to 10 days between seeing a VIN in source and being able to actually schedule the delivery. Good luck on the next part of this!

Ordered 11/30 and just got a VIN in source code! There's still no link to MVPA or anything, but this feels like a great step in the right direction.

It's funny to me that we're all practically begging for Tesla to let us give them a ton of money on a new car. Contrast that to any other time that I've bought a car, where salesmen won't stop calling/mailing/texting me to nag me into a vehicle. Good luck on getting yours soon!

Ordered blue with white interior, FSD on 11/30, and I'm doing a trade-in. I'm also over 500 miles away from the nearest SC. My payment has been lined up (partial financing from Alliant is waiting for MVPA), and I'm just waiting on a VIN. Nothing in source yet. They assigned a delivery...
