I just went on a short road trip for the first time since getting the Tesla 2 years ago. On a 70D pulling max 230 miles range estimate from Inland Empire, California to Zion National Park.
(approx # from memory)
I rely on the fact the SuperCharger was operational. From Inland Empire to Barstow (40% left - charge to 85%), charge...to Primm Charge (30% left), stayed overnight in Vegas (charge to 100%) -> to St George Charge (25% left, charge to 85%) , to Zion (L2 Charge to 80%), back to St George Charge (charge to 85%) , to Vegas (Aria Hotel L2 Charge, 20% left, charge to 100%) to Primm Charge (80% charge to 95%), to Barstow Charge (charge to 90%), to home.
The map estimate % on arrival of designation can swing +/- up to 10%. I try not to leave the battery below 30% when hitting the SuperCharger.
Curious, anyone ever got screwed by the fact they rely on the SuperCharger being operational and to get there the whole area is down and you are stuck with less than 30% battery life, not enough to reach the next SuperCharger or barely if you turn off everything and get there with under 5%?
Wonder how reliable are the SuperCharger network given they are approx 100 - 180 miles apart from each other on road trip.
I think the lowest I had was down to 60 miles range, then went to hit the SC. But can't imagine if I was at 60 and the next nearest SC is over 100 miles away. Lol....
