I will be sharing my first experience long drive(roughly 400 miles one way) with our MYLR. Wife and I often take this drive from Reno to Socal back to Reno and about six months ago we moved to Socal and that is where our MYLR got delivered. Since we still own a house in Reno we decided to take the drive with the Y home and spend a week here. My real life experience in a nutshell driving the Y for roughly 400 miles just plain sucks. Yes, it sucks! Driving at a top speed of mostly 75MPH small percentage of 77MPH and with minimal use of AC simply did not impress me, I mean this is suppose to be a luxury car according to Tesla. The drive usually takes us 8 hours, but this time it took 11 long hours.
Granite I will not complain on the amount of money it cost to charge, we spend a total of $55 total in which we usually fill up at 3X @ about $80 a pop to fill up with gas. I guess you win some and you loose some, don't get me wrong it is a great car and it is an awesome commute car around Socal. That being said unless the mileage improve on these EV cars after we get back to Socal that might be our last long drive trip with an EV.
Whenever we stop at a SC I always preheat the battery for faster charge and I always charge between 95% to 100% to lessen the need to charge. Constructive criticism and tips are always welcome.
