I plan to take a trip to the christiana mall today in DE and will use the supercharger. I can just make it there and back on a single charge (85 miles one way), but I firstly want to use the SC and secondly want to see what I can get distance-wise driving "normal". I'll clear out my computer before leaving and report back my average usage.
I never drive longer than 120 miles a day, from my home to my summer house. This is mostly highway. Can I be absolutely sure that I can make this distance in very cold weather, with a speed of 75mph and unlimited hard accelerationes? In my summer house I will be able to recharge. I will be getting the P85.
This is difficult to "absolutely" assert. That said, it is fairly easy to assert that I would have zero concern with range anxiety doing 120 miles on a standard charge even in the 60 kWh unless going uphill in the arctic (or dealing with a significant firmware bug).I never drive longer than 120 miles a day, from my home to my summer house.

No one can say that there won't be some unforeseen circumstances (such as the road to your summer house being washed out and a 50 mile detour with a 2000 foot climb added) but because you'll know the amount of miles remaining from the display, you'll easily be able moderate your speed on the rare occasions that it's called for.
My thought is that if you are drive 75 mph on twisty roads to your summer home in winter conditions, running out of battery is not going to be your big problem. (This isn't meant to be snippy, just a practical matter).
Shokunin your city limit is 60? I want to live in that city! :wink:
I see your point, but these are flat highway roads and usually the snow is cleared. I was mostly concerned about the fact that I am
travelling at high speed and would like to use the fantastic acceleration from time to time. In other words is it possible to drain the battery in 120 miles under these conditions?

Welp. That failed. I forgot that you need the 4.0 software to use the SC. It just stared back at me blankly. Did make it home with 3 projected miles tho!
Here's a shot after we got to the mall, and a shot after we got home:

On the way home, I was being far more cautious (though still driving with the heat on in spurts), and it wasn't more efficient by very much. Myself, my wife in the back and our 10 month old back there as well.
That sucks! I wasn't aware that the older firmware couldn't Supercharge. I'd be banging on Tesla to get 4.x, even if there are some bugs. None are bad enough to outweigh the benefits of Supercharging IMHO.
So if I'm reading this properly, and recognizing it's just an estimate, if I drove a consistent 50mph with the a/c blasting it would knock over 100 miles off my range?? The a/c really uses that much power relative to what it takes to propel the car? I find that mind blowing. Or am I just not reading this correctly?
