Looking for some reassurance on an upcoming trip from you guys:
I don't currently own a Tesla, but have a deposit for a Model 3. I'm taking a trip to Vegas in April and thought it'd be fun to rent a Model S for my trip.
There is one portion of the trip where I'm unsure of the cars range due to elevation gain. I plan to drive from Vegas to the Kingman, AZ Supercharger and get a full charge. That part is easy. The next leg of the trip will be from the Kingman Supercharger to Grand Canyon Village where I can plug into a Tesla HPWC at my hotel.
This is a 166 mile trip with over 11,000 feet of elevation gain (3,237 feet net). EV-Trip planner says I'll use 217 rated miles in an 85D. Is this a pretty safe bet that I can make it assuming I drive conservatively?
Thanks for your input!
