I just did this yesterday. Left with 75% and had 81% at the bottom with limited regen due to cold battery and ac set to 68 on auto.

But do you know if you dipped *below* 75% at any point?I just did this yesterday. Left with 75% and had 81% at the bottom with limited regen due to cold battery and ac set to 68 on auto.
No i didnt dip below. It was slow and steady in some traffic and had to use brakes occasionally due to limited regen.But do you know if you dipped *below* 75% at any point?
i'm very pleased to hear all worked out for you.Hey guys! I wanted to say thank you so much for your help. I ended up with about 17% this morning and although I probably could have risked it, I stopped by Sierra Blue Suites for an hour and a half while grabbing lunch to get my battery to 33%. I then made it down the hill with about 37% charge!
Interesting, never heard of it before but this could come in handy in the future. Have you tried using it?BTW, just in case anyone finds themselves in a similar situation, there is one more app you may want to consider having on your phone, EV Match:
I just did a quick search on Plugshare for the Big Bear area and it showed the Sierra Blue Suites and Hotel and the Pennsylvania Public Parking Lot. When I did a similar search on EV Match, it displayed at least 6 privately owned level-2 EVSEs or 14-50 outlets in the Big Bear area available for reservation and use through the EV Match app. Interestingly, none of these were listed on Plugshare.
i'm assuming you will never leave home ever again without adaptersInteresting, never heard of it before but this could come in handy in the future. Have you tried using it?
Not that it would've helped OP, since they didn't bring their adapters with them.
oops! yes, you are correct.You mean @alexthager ? Lol
I keep my mobile connector in my sub-trunk, along with the half-dozen NEMA adapters, even though I've NEVER needed to use them away from the house. I have a couple of socket adapters which convert outlets to standard NEMA outlets so I can plug in the mobile connector. I also have two J1772 adapters in the center console, each with their associated locking ring design, even though I've NEVER needed to use them outside of chargers I had at work. The only charging equipment I use on a regular basis is the CHAdeMO adapter. It's my "home" charging source around town and I've used it on the road at least a dozen times.honestly, until this thread, i thought EVERYONE LEFT THEIR ADAPTERS in the car 24/7.
same here. every car i've ever owned ALWAYS has:I keep my mobile connector in my sub-trunk, along with the half-dozen NEMA adapters, even though I've NEVER needed to use them away from the house.

I'm a subscriber to this extension of Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong and it will do it the worst possible time. My thought is that if I ever leave home without one of my adapters, I'll need it somewhere on the road.

flares, flashlight, poncho, first aid kit, tools, water, snacks, fire extinguisher, cash, paper map, jacket, blanket, etc.

What a shame you weren't ready to take the advice here and wasted 90 minutes (though I guess you ate) plus the time to that hotel. As you saw at the end you had tons of extra power, you weren't close at all (unless you report that, on the way to the downhill, you dropped to 14% which means you could have hit zero. Though your car actually can go below zero, but you never know how far until you try. Some people have reported quite a lot.Hey guys! I wanted to say thank you so much for your help.

Hah someone called me a "cowboy" for suggesting that OP have a good sleep and drive down the hill in the morning as per normal.What a shame you weren't ready to take the advice here and wasted 90 minutes (though I guess you ate) plus the time to that hotel.

But in fact you didn't need it, as ABRP and Tesla's internal planner would have told you.

Like other people, I am baffled at how anybody could have left their J1772 adapter behind. I mean why would you ever take it out of your car? Is it you have a J1772 in your house and mounted the adapter permanently on it? They are only $50 so I would get another to live in the car in that case. (I once did lose my adapter but that is the only time it's not been in my car.)
Because of that, any Tesla owner you encountered would have one, and probably be fine to loan you one (especially if you offered a $60 deposit in case you could not find them again) if there was a closer charger than that hotel. And a decent fraction of the Tesla owners you meet might well have the CCS adapter which you would only need for 10 minutes to have boosted you up plenty.

As somebody who believes we need to switch to EVs, it's a bad day when an EV ends up making things a lot worse for you than driving a gas car. This was one of those times -- but only because of uncertainty, since the car could have handled the situation fine.Kinda harsh. Did you have a bad day or something?
