I am considering driven my model 3 standard range plus from virginia beach to snowshoe, wv for a ski trip. I plan to camp in my car at the greenbank observatory (apparently charging is available 24hours there). It seems like i will have plenty of charge to to this, but i’ve read about range loss due to cold weather. It will likely be in the 20s. I don’t plan on going during a snowstorm, just when the roads are in good shape.
Is the range loss due to heating, or just because it is cold? I can skip the heat from the last supercharger in Staunton, wv if that will save on range. Although, abetterrouteplanner says i can get to greebank at 10 percent soc only charging to 55 percent at staunton.
What do you think? Too risky or go for it?
