The trip was pretty good. The car did great.
We went from Colorado Springs to Salida, to Grand Junction.
We plugged in direct to Supercharger in Poncha Springs (just out side of Salida) and got there no problem. Charged for 15ish minutes and headed off to Grand Junction. Up and over Monarch pass, we ended up with 30% left when we got to Grand Junction. Our hotel had a destination charger, so free power all weekend.
The trip home was a bit more challenging. We did the same return route, but after charging in Salida, I decided to ignore Elon and the suggested navigational route and head up to Highway 24 through Woodland park into Colorado Springs. I've done that road trip a thousdand times skiing, so I wanted to see how the MY handled it. As soon as we were about to get off at Highway 24 a road sign stated the highway was closed at Divide due to a fatal accident. (Tesla knew this, and I ignored it).
Decided that instead of turning around, we would just head north to Denver and SC there, then back home. It would have added another hour to the trip, so not so bad. After sitting in stop and go traffic for an hour on 285, we finally got into Denver with 16% left. Lower than I wanted but range anxiety was pretty low for my first road trip. My internal voice was saying no less than 25%, so 17% was close enough. Charged up to 55% in Denver and got home with 31% left.
Moral of the story......Trust the navigational computer. I had it set to reroute if it saves 5 minutes. Should have listened. What should have been a 6 1/2 hour trip ended up being closer to 8 hours. But I was behind the wheel of a FSD Tesla, so it was actually pretty nice.
