Good evening,
I have been lurking for awhile and took delivery of my refreshed 90D MS in late June. I have ~2,500 miles on the car including a handful of trips at 180-185 miles.
I am about to take my maiden voyage using the SC network and stretching the range out a bit. The first half of the trip will be 210 miles on a toll road with a 75 MPH speed limit. I will then hit the SC for full charge and make the next 210 miles on a primarily 65 MPH highway.
Everything in my gut (and head) tells me I will be just fine, but the first leg at 75-80 MPH with a/c is beginning to keep me up at night. Once I start each leg, I will essentially be on an island with virtually no viable charging opportunities.
The trip will be at night with headlights. The car has aftermarket 20" wheels, while I haven't weighed them, I likely sit somewhere between the 19" and 21" range numbers.
Thoughts?
Austin
