Driving through Yosemite to Mammoth Lakes

[incrediwoah]

I have a 2014 Model S 85. Realistically on 100% charge its getting around 225. I am looking to get opinions on if it's possible to drive from the fish camp supercharger to mammoth lakes. I routed with ABRP and google maps showing 130 miles, but not sure how the elevation changes would affect actual mile usage. I don't think I believe the 30% ending charge. Seems too good to be true.

I noticed there are rivian waypoint chargers at yosemite valley lodge. 6.6kwh, but if I topped out there the mileage drops to 103. I wonder if that would be doable if the above is not?

Driving through Yosemite is relatively slow. You will regain some of the extra juice used going up, with regen on your way back down.

It’s possible. You’ll be fine. Roads in the park are pretty slow going. You’ll get nervous on the way up but once you hit the summit you’ll use almost no energy to coast into mammoth. Go for it.

(I live near the south gate of the park and I’ve done this trip in my 75 without issue).
