this is way too pessimistic, 30% is more a more reasonable guide, excepting driving in deep snow with huge elevations to climb.If I was taking a trip in the very worst conditions I'd plan on 60% for loss of range to be on the safe side.
I too have been happy with the stock all seasons. However having experienced the difference between winter tires and all season tires, they add a lot of stability and control (and confidence) when driving in poor conditions. We drive over Cameron pass so much that I want to be prepared for the worst.b_rad
I'm curious why you are considering winter tires. I also have 20" with All Season.
So far, I've been very pleased with the performance in snow/ice.
Yep, that's the one.Is that place in Walden the one on plugshare.com ?
On our return from viewing the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse in Wyoming, I called that place in Walden and found them very friendly (but ended up staying at an RV park in Riverside, WY), so it's great to hear of your positive experience (and I'm glad you're safe).Yep, that's the one.
I just put in my order for a X90D but before I confirm I wanted to check and see if anyone has data on efficiency loss while driving in the mountains in the the winter.
I live in ft Collins, CO and have family in Steamboat Springs and will be doing that drive rather frequently. It is 155 miles over two mountain passes (can also go up through Laramie to avoid Cameron pass with a total mileage of 186) .
I think the range will be plenty for summer driving (and evtripplanner seems to agree). My only concern is for when road conditions are bad, it's -10° and snowing.
Anyone have data/info on range in conditions like this? Thanks for any info
It turns out the rear tread was virtually gone in the center (which wasn't visible without getting under the back of the car). This is a CPO car that was delivered in June with less than 6k of our miles on it. Total mileage is 22k. Tires were never overinflated during our ownership.On a related note, we got stuck because the storm came in about 30 mins before we arrived in Walden and the road was icy/slushy heading north to Laramie. This was our first experience with winter driving in our MS85D on the stock Primacy tires, and it was terrifying. The car pulled to one side or the other almost constantly whenever we weren't on dryish pavement. As soon as we started to climb and the road was consistently covered we turned around. I've never experienced anything like it and I've driven on snow and ice a LOT. I'm probably on the last 1/3rd of the tread, so I wasn't expecting anything great, but this was genuinely scary. I'm going to get the alignment checked when I get back to Ft Collins, and I'll definitely be getting snow tires.

Tesla Service towed in the car, replaced the tires, and performed an alignment (rear toe was a little bit off) all for free. We are delighted with our first Service experience!
Ah, that sounds more like it. That behavior or pulling to the left or right while trying to drive straight didn't sound like loss of grip from all season versus winter tire, but seemed more like slight off and on hydroplaning over the thick built-up slush you mentioned, and lack of tread would do that more.It turns out the rear tread was virtually gone in the center (which wasn't visible without getting under the back of the car).

Nice to know the reason for poor traction!
We drove through Walden later that day but coming from Cameron Pass. Coming over Cameron the roads were snow covered but still fine. Tires handled well but not as good as last year when they were brand new (i now have 10k miles on them). There were a couple patches of black ice between Walden and Cameron that made things exciting. Ordered some Nokian R2s and looking forward to having them for the upcoming winter.
I'm seeing a lot more Teslas in Foco these days. Came out of home depot one day to find the same color MX parked next to me. Another time I saw two Teslas coming down Poudre Canyon.
I have family there and installed a HPWC at their place. PM me if you are ever in a bind and need a place to charge.This probably won't be the last trip to Steamboat in the MS. Where do you charge your MX at Steamboat?

I've also charged at the parking deck at the base of the ski mountain. Looks like steamboat is also supposed to be getting a supercharger sometime in 2018!

Agree. Especially if your pack is cold.If I was taking a trip in the very worst conditions I'd plan on 60% for loss of range to be on the safe side.
