I just did this trip in my S75 2 weeks ago. We were going from Houston to Memphis. Ended up going to LCH-BTR-JAN-MEM.
I was most concerned about the JAN-MEM leg, since it was showing 211 miles to our destination from the Pearl supercharger. Luckily it wasn't too cold (temps in the high 40s to low 50s). I had planned to stop at an outlet mall right outside of Memphis going northbound on 55 if we were losing range. I followed the advice from this forum to keep it slow the first part of the trip to guarantee that you're going to make it, then speed up. I was lucky enough to make the leg without having to stop at the outlet mall, arriving with 25 rated miles to go! I have to say that it did suck to have everyone and their grandma passing me while I was stuck at 60-65.
On the way back, I planned to top off at the MEM supercharger before heading out. It was about 10 miles out of the way from our prior destination (downtown Memphis). While we were supercharging, we ran into the Nashville gallery Tesla crew - they were in Memphis giving people test drives for the weekend. They had an X, an S P100D, and and S 75 D. That's when I got a nice little bit of info from the guy at the gallery:
THEY'RE INSTALLING A SUPERCHARGER IN GRENADA, MS
That should give the people going on I-55 a nice little cushion in between Memphis and Jackson!
Anyway, I thought I'd share that little nugget with everyone.
