Tesla Motors Club
Hey everyone! Patiently waiting to join the Tesla family I have an order in for a Blue AWD LR with 19" sport wheels.
My commute is 130 miles (210km) round trip at 80/85mph (130-140kmh) with only home charging available.
At work my car would be sitting in the shade (still scorching hot) for about 8-10 hours at a time.
Ill be doing the round trip 10-15 times a month at max.
The climate where I am is always summer with 100f-120f (40-50 celcius) so I'd be using the AC heavily.
I've had a look at the teslike range table and where my choice of wheels does seem reasonable but again this is done under controlled environments.
If I factor in
- AC consumption
- Battery degradation
- Charging only to 89-90% at a time
Is it a better idea to stick with the 18s given my commute is somewhat lengthy and done at all highway speeds or do you think I'll be fine range wise with the sport wheels or should I go for the 18’s?
