Hi All
I've had my Model 3 Mid Range for a little over a month now and love it. Charge at home with Level II at 16 amps.
My wife and I are planning on making a trip from Tampa Florida area to the Muskegon Michigan area in about 3 weeks - about 1,300 miles over 3 days. Supposedly the car will get up to 262 mpge. When I use the Navigation on the screen I see the trip laid out nicely for me with Superchargers every 150 miles or so - that looks great. We plan on overnighting in the Atlanta and Louisville areas.
My questions are: What speed should I use with the AC on the Interstate? I'm thinking about 70 mph with the AC set to 75. I know speed and AC reduces range but how much? Florida and Georgia are hot so we will want AC. Would other settings be better? Also, does playing music draw much off the battery? Any tips?
I went to one Supercharger two weeks ago in Ocala Florida and it was much easier than I thought. We just plugged in for about 30 minutes; I got about 200 miles range for $11.75. While browsing around in a bookstore we kept tabs on the charging. No sweat. Are all Superchargers this easy?
Anyway. I would really appreciate any comments some experienced trippers might have before starting the trip.
Thanks!
