Hi guys,
I got delivery of my P85D last Friday, 12/12/14, and since we've been getting snow in the mountains I decided to go on a day-trip to Tahoe yesterday (12/14/14).
The roads were mostly dry so I didn't get a chance to test out the AWD in the snow, but here are some stats on the charging & driving consumption:
1. Left SF with 90% charge, indicating 219 miles of EPA-rated range. Ambient temp: 10ºC, or 50ºF
2. Drove to the Roseville SC which is 110 miles away, averaging 75 mph, and arrived with 31% / 75 miles remaining
3. Super charged to 90% / 220 miles in about 45 minutes (I was the only Model S there)
4. Drove to Sugar Bowl ski resort which is 73 miles away and 6790 feet higher, averaging 70 mph, and arrived with 28% / 70 miles remaining
5. Even after putting the car to sleep, with ambient temps around 0ºC / 32ºF, I lost 2 miles of range while skiing for 6 hours
6. Drove back to Roseville SC, 73 miles away and 6790 feet lower, averaging 60 mph (traffic...) and arrived with 11% / 26 miles remaining
7. Super charged to 69% / 170 miles in about 30 minutes (there were 3 others charging but on different number stalls)
8. Drove back to SF, 110 miles away, averaging 65 mph (more traffic on 80), and arrived with 13% / 32 miles remaining
Here's a summary table of each driving event:
And here's a summary table of each charging event:
That's it for now! I'm looking forward to the long trip up to Oregon at the end of December so I can collect more geeky data.
In the meantime, I leave you with a couple of photos:
