I am thinking about ordering a Model 3, AWD. Perhaps blue, maybe the red.
I live in both Reno, NV and Auburn, CA. I own two houses here in the Reno area and the one in Auburn, CA.
I have a couple of electric Motorcycles, Zero DS & Zero SR and I love them. But neither can make it from Auburn to Reno without recharging, so I normally use an ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) bike or car for the 99 mile trip (driveway to driveway). I keep one of my electric motorcycles in Auburn and the other here in Reno.
My first question is if the AWD Model 3 can make it on a single charge at freeway speeds, mostly uphill, from Auburn, CA to Reno, NV on a single charge. Exact distances from Auburn is 99 miles and 120 miles depending on which Reno house. I know they claim 310 miles, IIRC, but conditions to get that range is not mentioned. I know from my electric motorcycles, every time I double the speed, I roughly get 50% of the range. One will get 200 miles city, 100 miles on the freeway and about 50 miles uphill on the freeway. How much does the Tesla vary in range? What I really want to know is the worse range possible at legal freeway speeds uphill, as I realize the best possible range will be what is shown, the 310 miles.
And what are the charging options? Can they be charged with 120 VAC at home? Even a wait of a few days is usually not an issue to me, if it takes that long. How many amp draw?
And no matter what zip code I put in on-line, it tells me there is no Tesla places within 50 miles and for me to try another zip code. . Even when I put in the zip code for the Rockin, CA Tesla place mentioned or Sacramento, or Reno. Is the Tesla ordering website have a bug? Or what zipcode should I try?
And what is the difference between the "performance package" and the standard package (besides the price!)?
And with the AWD version, do the tires and vehicle meet the CA I-80 requirement when there is a chain control "EXCEPT 4WD with snow tires" ?
And is it best if I order from Reno, NV or Auburn, CA?
This any other info, anybody here is willing to explain, I will appreciate very much.
