Have fun!
Also, Colby would be a better stop than Goodland if you can manage the stretch between Colby and Limon.
Ah...just saw you are skipping Limon, so nevermind!

What car/battery do you have? I could easily make it from the western Denver suburbs to Goodland in an S90D. Now that I have an S100D, I can easily make it from Golden to Colby.I think we're overnighting in Denver. The picture is one from A Better Route Planner. It has me leaving Denver with 83% - If we leave with 95% or maybe stop for the first bathroom break in Limon and add a few percent we can skip Goodland and charge at Colby.
Thanks for the info!
Looks awesome. I'd suggest slightly changing your route north of Yellowstone so that you hit Beartooth Pass, south of Red Lodge, MT. It is the most incredible stretch of road I have seen in North America. Also jump in the Boiling River if you go through Gardiner, MT to West Yellowstone SC.

BTW, Limon isn't the best spot either as there's not much except for Arby's. Colby's Supercharger has several different food options plus a dog park.
@AudubonB might be able to give you a few pointersAs Crocodile Dundee might have said "Call that a LONG road trip??? It's a sunday afternoon drive!! This is an EV road trip" Picked up an S85D in LA 3 weeks ago and 3500 mi later have now reached Vancouver Island. Although we have stayed clear of most freeways, taking scenic by-ways where possible we've had no problems getting charge at superchargers and L2 chargers. So I can't imagine you'd have too many problems with your proposed route, although I would note at the risk of stating the obvious that going up and down the Rockies uses a fair bit more charge than we had initially expected. However any experience of Northern BC through Yukon would be welcome; we plan to go up Vancouver Is and take a ferry from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert, then head north via Whitehorse.

OK Intrepid. You can call me Intrigued.
We're going to be in Newfoundland with our Tesla & RV this summer. I briefly toyed with the idea of driving from Blanc-Sablon to Happy Valley-Goose Bay. I say briefly because as far as I can tell there is no charging infrastructure along the Trans Labrador Highway...no Superchargers...no Chademo...no J1772...no destination chargers...no RV parks...no nothing.
I guess you could charge at 120V/15A along the way. But that's only about 70 mile/day of charge. So you would have to stay a few days at each location. Unless you can find higher amperage outlets along the way (welders, dryers, diesel block heaters)
According to the Trans-Labrador Highway Wiki (Trans-Labrador Highway – Travel guide at Wikivoyage):
"Assume that, outside the few towns or villages along the route, you will have access to nothing - no fuel, no services, no communications - nothing."
"While not a next-to-impossible destination, the Trans-Labrador Highway is not easy to travel and not on the beaten path."
Not to mention the fact that the road is less than stellar.
"Bring a full-size spare tyre and tools, as it's a long way to the next service station and this rough gravel highway is notorious for damaging tyres rather routinely. In most locations, you're on your own."

So what's the charging plan the ~800 miles of Labrador?
Unfortunately we whimped out of the Dalton (and the Dawson) beaten back by smoke haze, poor air quality and lack of time on our visas. However we did make it to Alaska, twice, via the Cassair/Glacier and the Klondike Highways. Now we’re about to tackle the Great Canadian EVSE Desert!How did the S handle the Dalton?
Every report I see suggests that is a brutal route.
Yes the Labrador highway may have been a bit of hubris left over from when we originally planned the route in our X5.
