I’m headed to the Sound of Silence rally.My real motive here is to keep my spirits up, I’ve got a couple intimidating uphill leaps ahead of me. Either my LR D is a 300 mi vehicle, or it is not. About to find out.

If arrival charge > 10% increase set speed.
If arrival charge < 10% decrease set speed.
Good luck!

East coast. I've rarely seen one even half full... and never seen one completely full.
Thanks. Yeah, I’ll be fighting myself here.
“Go slower” doesn’t come natural.271 mi on the map, 650m elev rise, overnight low of 6C. It is going to be on the raggity edge, I’ll need to walk lightly from the start. Probably SC then “cheat” a couple blocks away on a J-1774 for a bit to mitigate any SC induced HVAC loses.
Good luck. Chill mode and drafting are your friend (one 244 mi journey in LR RWD model 3 in Missouri starting at 10 C declining to 0 C 30 mph headwind with sleet). Started with 97% supercharge and arrived with 3% and a newfound respect for range anxiety especially in/around Arkansas.
Forecast has shifted towards early morning rain. After charging may make the audible call to “Brave Sir Robin” & go the long way around.
Good news is Hays SC at Applebee’s was correct orientation, WTF Tesla news is no wheel stops.

So I get into Custer, check into a motel across the street from the mixer (handy!), then head to park at my room to unload & change:
Well played Gods of Irony, well played.

You'd think having your car stick out into the driving path would be obvious to people. Not even all the way in the space another big clue. The owner spends all that money on a custom color wrap and doesn't know how to charge. Pretty funny but not.
OMG it was your car. Was this done as a joke photo? If not you need to learn to use the back up camera to back in. And when you see chargers out in the front like that it's because they are pull-in spaces. All of the early chargers were that way and Tesla probably found it easier and less costly to align all the chargers in a line across a single strip and have people back in to the spot.

Tesla drivers looking to charge have been pulling in, front first, for years...as well as ICE cars that drive front first into regular parking spots. We have a lot of older SC locations here in the bay area and I've never seen people have a problem pulling in. In fact it's usually the new Model 3 owners who seem to have the problem backing into spots. You can always spot a newbie by how smoothly they back into a charging spot. I've seen a few newbies trying to look over their shoulder and at the side view mirror instead of the back up camera. Understandable auto reflex action from years of driving but for some it takes a few times to get comfortable using the camera but either way is pretty easy.
I love stalls like this it prevents my biggest fear on road trips, having all stalls iced and being stranded. (Never has happened but a fear all the same)

Really? You've never figured out that range is dependent on several things? It is. Number one is SPEED. If you slow down, you can absolutely make 300 miles. The second large draw on range is uphill elevation change.
Try going up highway 80 from Sacramento to Truckee (which I'm sure you know is just a few miles from "Yup". Do 80 mph (like many do). You will gain 7000 feet. Guess what. Your 300 mile range is worth about 150.
Yeah, you'll find out.
