Pikes Peak, 14,115 feet and 15 degrees Fahrenheit

[LoudMusic]

We drove to the top of Pikes Peak today. I thought the graphs were pretty funny and thought people here might find them interesting, too.

From the house to the main road is a gentle downhill so the Trip graph is flat. Then you start up the road the battery just nose dives going up the mountain.

On the way down there's only brief moments where the car consumes power. Otherwise you're making pretty fantastic regen.

There was another Model Y on the way up when we were on our way down. He had a GoPro on the roof so we might be seeing that soon as well

I see 27% when you reached the top. What was the battery when you got back to the bottom? (bottom picture shows 40%, but looks like that is after some charge)

Yeah the estimate was 27% but it was actually showing 35% when we got there. The navigation claimed we'd return to the house with 37% and had 40% when we arrived (1kW charging at the AirBnB unfortunately ... not much gained in that tiny amount of time )

So it over estimated both the consumption and the regeneration.

The temperature at the base was around 35F and the temperature at the summit was 15F. Otherwise BRIGHT AND SUNNY. The 'available regen' was almost always the full bar, though there were a few periods where it limited maximum regen capability.

Next time put some heavy rocks in the trunk at the top and see if you can finish with more charge than when you started. Is this a LR AWD model?

That's a good idea!

Yes, Model Y LR AWD.
