Has anyone ever been to Sunrise visitor center (Mt. Rainier) with 75D?

Thanks to Tesla, dense Supercharger network made us possible to travel long distance and almost everywhere in US.
I'm currently living in Seattle area. While ownership of X 75D, I noticed visiting nearby National Parks(Olympic, North Cascade, Rainier) are somewhat concerning for me due to Supercharger coverage.

This weekend, my friends will come to town and they want to make day trip to Mt. Rainier.

But when I checked distance and Supercharger location, it raised my concern. Seattle to Sunrise is almost 200mile round trip including hill climbing and non of routes has Supercharger station. Issaquah, Tacoma, and Enumclaw stations is not yet built.
EPA range for X 75D is 230mile but not sure it's safe to do day trip. Has anyone done this? What was your experience?

Try the Plugshare app. There is a J-1772 at Mt Ranier NP and a Tesla destination charger at Alexander's Lodge. Many other listed; will let you do the research for your circumstance.

I already did it, but it didn't give me useful charging spot information. Also the spots that you mentioned are not on my route. (I'm not heading for Paradise)

So I'm looking for feasibility of round trip without charging. or J1772 spot with convenient location which I can spend enough time without getting bored.

Once you get up, it should be downhill all the way.

I think bored beats stranded any day.

abetterrouteplanner shows you getting there with 30% left. unless you can find a place to top off, I wouldn't recommend it. You'd need to leave the center at 40% to make it with a 9% buffer. That doesn't count the drain you'll get during the day while parked.

Now there are a few places you can top off along the way. Fugate Ford has a J1772. Walgreens in Auburn has a J1772 and CHADEMO (if you have the adapter)
