Hi
I was (before reading everything on here) about to sign up for a lease on the longest range Tesla 3, assuming the 300+ miles advertised would more than cover my weekly 190 mile journey that i do (nearly all motorway), even if i drove like a lunatic, as surely you cant lose over 100 miles out of 300...
From reading forum it appears i may be misguided, and i may need to drive at exactly 50mph (or whatever the most efficient is) wearing my thickest coat and gloves to avoid heating and leaving my kids at home as they are too heavy! (i'm exaggerating, but you get the point), and even then i shouldn't do it, as i shouldn't be regularly charging to 100% and then using it all.
Can anyone allay these fears, or is there no electric car yet that will comfortably do that journey in all conditions without having to go through a long checklist of considerations.
My normal daily commutes are nothing (a few miles) but once a week i need to make this trip. Does anyone have experience with doing regular long trips, and is it worth the range anxiety that would no doubt set in? Thanks in advance...
