Hi all,
This is my first post here and likely not my last since I will be buying a Roadster 1.5 tomorrow.
I’m excited at the prospect, since I’ve been enamored by EVs ever since leasing a lowly Fiat 500e...such a fun car around town. I will be driving it from the Torrance SC to San Luis Obispo, at just under 200 miles. I have searched the forum and can’t much info about what happens to range when the Roadster is driven at 70–75 mph, rather than 60–65 mph for prolonged periods of time. This particular car has an ideal range of about 180 miles in normal mode. I figure I will be stopping in Santa Barbara with my son for dinner and charging a couple hours there. I’m sure I can muster some cruising speed discipline, but coming from a Porsche GT3, this isn’t really natural for me. Any input to this question?
Thanks in advance, all, and I am appreciative for what I have learned from this place already.
Steve
