I have driven the coast a few times, years ago, in an ICE obviously.
I can't recall the elevation along the road from Crescent City, CA to Lincoln City, OR, though.
The distance between those two stops puts it within driving range for my soon to be delivered Model S 75D on a full charge with moderate temperatures. i.e. it's 256 miles and Tesla claims at a leisurely 50 mph I should be able to get 367 miles out of the car. That's just enough of a buffer to make me not worry much.
But I'm wondering if elevation changes might eat up more than those 100 extra miles. Can't recall if it's all uphill one way, or if it's rolling.
Any thoughts?
Obviously the better solution is another supercharger near Coos Bay, or stopping for a little CHAdeMO or 14-50 charge somewhere half way. But I almost think I could do this route from SC to SC once both the Crescent City and Lincoln City superchargers are live.
(Not that I'm going to do it soon. I live in Toronto now. But I'll definitely be road tripping out there in the next year or so.)
