I'm planning on driving down to LA next weekend. Leaving work from the Financial District in SF to LA Live (via I-5).
I'm trying to decide whether I should drive the Model S or my gas guzzling BMW. I want to drive my Model S, but I was wondering how long will it take to drive down there. Looking at Google Maps, it's 200 miles from SF to Harris Ranch. After charging for an hour, would I have enough juice to make it to downtown LA (going over the Grapevine) without stopping at Tejon Ranch?
I only just passed 1k miles on my car, so I don't have the best idea of the speed I would have to maintain in order to get from SF to Harris Ranch, and Harris Ranch to LA without getting stuck. Would I be okay if I maintained 70mph, assuming I start with a charge of 100% (max range) in SF and charging for 45 minutes at Harris Ranch?
My initial 1k miles are from commuting to and from work on hwy 280, which has tons of hills. The drive down to LA should mainly be flat with the exception of the Grapevine.
I want to sell my gas guzzler, so I don't want to put too many miles on it, which is why I am asking the experts here
Thanks for all your help!
