So I'm getting very close to purchasing a new (well, used) model S. I'm trying to save money where I can, so most of the ones I've been lookin at are S60's. (I'm looking mostly at 2015's and a few 2014's with autopilot if that makes a difference).
A few times a week I need to make a round trip of about 125 miles. (Depends on how much driving I do at the other end, but it will range from about 110 miles to 125). I was thinking that with the 200+ mile rating of the S60 that I would be fine making that trip, but before I go out and buy one I just wanted to make sure that was really the case... even in the heat of florida with the air conditioner running in the summer.
Once in a while I make longer trips of about 160 miles (although that's reasonably rare... maybe twice in the past year). I'd love to be able to make that trip without stopping to charge as well, but given the infrequency I could probably live if I needed to stop to charge along the way for that one.
Do you guys think that it's realistic to expect a 2014 or 2015 S60 to be able to make a 125 or even 160 mile trip in a single charge or should I be looking for a bigger battery?
Thanks,
Brett
