All,
Just had my first Tesla test-drive the other week, and was utterly blown away. I've gone from "just screwing around" to "how do I make this work" very quickly, and am looking for practical stories/experiences that anyone can offer.
I'm thinking of a 60, just because an 85 is probably a bit out of reach financially.
I live in Arlington, and my two main out-of-town travel destinations are family in suburban NY/NJ and Atlantic City. Either looks easily doable with a stop at the Delaware Supercharger. In NY/NJ, I could hit the Short Hills Tesla store, which is not far from where my inlaws live. PlugShare shows a couple of options in Atlantic City.
So, two specific questions:
1. Does anyone have experience with doing a run from NoVA to Atlantic City? Where'd you charge when you got there?
2. I'd be making the NY run at least some times in the winter. What have been peoples' experiences making that trip in the cold? I know about the infamous NYT article, but am interested in any input folks might have on just what kind of a range hit I'd be looking at (and how the terrible traffic on, e.g., Thanksgiving might impact range).
Thanks in advance!
