This is really about behavior and experience.
Behavior: You can’t just say I want to travel to X, do I have enough gas? There are a lot more factors to figure in, including altitude, wind speed, payload, and mainly weather conditions.
Experience: the longer the trip and the colder the weather, the worse the experience. We travel every 6 weeks about 600 miles in our 2016 90D - it takes 12 hours - 2 hours of that is charging.
which is why for us the refreshed S with more range is appealing and I wish the range was even higher. We have to plan sometimes for a range loss of 40-45% in the winter - that’s a huge drop of efficiency when you factor in the consequences of extra stops and extra longer chargers. YMMV. literally.
however, safest car, most fun to drive, never looked back (Tesla driver since 2012). Just keeps getting better!
