Hello, I was curious if anyone has any experience with travelling from the Fresno Supercharger to Sequoia National Park in a Model S. If not, does it seem reasonable that I can make that round trip in an 85S with a payload of about 600 pounds? Here's a map of my planned route:

...and a snapshot (10MB) of the elevation profile:

Here is what I am estimating to make it there and back:
This would be my first time driving this route if I decide to go. I put the route into EVTripPlanner, and it calculated the round trip would take 50kWh (I'm guessing closer to 75kWh). That seems too low to me, and since I haven't used that tool for a road trip yet, I'm not sure if I trust it just yet.
Anyone actually make this trip yet in a Model S, or at least think I'll be able to make it?
Thanks!

Here is what I am estimating to make it there and back:
- Fresno SC to Sequoias: 90 miles, plus an extra 60 miles because of 8,000ft ascent
- Sequoias to Fresno SC: 90 miles, minus 25 miles because of 8,000ft descent
- 20 miles for extra payload
