Who would have thought that electric motors perform just as well at 12000 ft as at sea level?

Which way did you go over Independence pass, and how much charge did you have left? I was thinking of heading that way sometime.

 

[evp]

I went to Aspen and back, took Independence Pass both directions. Charged to 90% (235 rated) at Silverthorne, got to Aspen with about 150 miles rated. The trip back to Arvada would have left me with 3% according to the energy page, so I took a 10 minute charge at Silverthorne on the way back and got a drink at Chipotle. Glad I did, there was bumper-to-bumper from the tunnel almost to Idaho Springs (for no good reason), I would have burned the last 3% just running the air conditioner.

If you just want to do it one way, go Independence Pass to Aspen, then down the valley to Glenwood SC. There's only about 15 minutes difference to Aspen between the Independence route and the Vail route.

Thanks for that info! I might do that drive here soon.

What I want to know is - how does Andreas get the lawnmower up there to mow his roof? Or does he own a goat?

@AndreasMJ, what an awesome roof. You go dawg. I'm going to pass these pictures below off as nature, but I know I'm cheating a little. I just know that when I was waiting for my Tesla, this thread was the best eye candy ever so I'm paying it forward.

There might be a market for a grass cutting drone! Don't really have to do anything with the roof. They are very common on cabins in the mountains.

I'll be driving from Oslo to the northernmost point of Europe, North cape, in September (1300 miles). Will showcase the norwegian nature as best I can in this thread.

@Khatsalano thank you

Surely the restored prairie has to count for something.

Great pics !!!! Here's my last weekend in Eastern Ontario -- truly in "the bush".

edit: found a more in-close version...

Nice! Gotta love all those solar panels! Probably plenty there to run a full 2kW into that 3 element yagi too! ;-)

I drove to Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park and took this with my iPhone on the way down from the summit. Several people in the parking lot at the Summit could not believe I could drive an EV "all the way up there!" It was fresh asphalt the whole way with some great regen on the way down!

Near the summit of Haleakala, on Maui. I tried getting better scenic shots with my Model S in the background, but didn't have much luck. I've posted additional pictures of the trip at the following link: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/52109-The-Road-to-Haleakala-Crater-Maui-Hawaii
