Taking my first road trip in my MYLR this upcoming Friday 12-23 and the forecast is set to be COLD for us. 33F for the high on the trip. The distance from my home to my destination is around 130 miles then back for a total round trip of 260 or so. I don't have any concerns on making this trip in the summer when it is warm, but the cold weather makes me worry a bit on the range. I am headed to Tuscaloosa and there is a SuperCharger there (V3) - but my travel will be on a road without any charging from here to there.
Should I be worried about that much range loss that it would be a concern? Going to charge to 100% and precon before leaving and watch the heater use. It will be a nice two lane road back country for the trip so no extreme speeds. I plan on making it to my destination, visiting with family, then hitting the SuperCharger before heading home to top off. ABRP says I can make it without charging but I just worry about the cold as I have not experienced it yet. I have only had the car about a month.
I know it has probably been discussed, but I could not find any specific example about this type of scenario. SCs are plentiful in other states, but they are sparse here still. Hoping that gets better in the future. We are seeing some 3rd party chargers popping up (CCS) since we are home to several auto plants, like Mercedes, Hyundai, etc. and I do have a CCS adapter.
TIA for all the advice. I love my car and it is great for my daily driving and such, just worried about this cold as it usually never is this cold down here.
