I'm hoping some of you that live in cold temps can help me out.
I'm considering a 2017/2018 100D, which according to Tesla should give me 335 miles of range. I can charge at home and don't routinely have long drives. Several times a year though I have to travel approximately 210 miles from Rochester, NY to Canton, NY.
A Better Routeplanner tells me (if I enter 20 degree farenheit weather) that I'd have to stop at 2 Superchargers on the way there, for a total of 27 minutes of charging. I'd then arrive at my destiation with a 10% SoC. Once at my destination I'd only have access to a 110v charger (plug into a family members outdoor outlet). Depending on how cold it is (Canton gets really cold) I'd likely barely be gaining any mileage with a 110. That would then require me to hopefully make it to some type of charger on the way back if lucky.
If I add in the return trip, it then wants me to charge for over an hour on the way to my destination, so that I arrive at Canton with 55% SoC, which is probably the only way I make it back to another charge on the return trip.
This all seems somewhat cumbersome and janky compared to an ICE.
Am I missing something?
