Hi Everyone,
My husband and I planning on our first Tesla purchase, and were hoping to get some information from owners in Minnesota or Wisconsin regarding the P85's performance in snow. I commute about 50-60 miles a day (primarily on 494 in the Twin Cities), and want to ensure we're getting the proper snow tires to deal with Minnesota winters. (We may get the 85D instead, though it appears that the key issue for snow driving will be the tires, but open to any commentary on that.)
In addition, we often make a trip from the Twin Cities to the Fox Cities, so any experience with chargers on that route would be helpful (it looks like we'd need to charge in Eau Claire or Mauston to make it to Appleton - curious if anyone has experienced a wait to use that charger. I'm familiar with Plugshare, but if there are non-plugshare charging stations in the Fox Cities (primarily Appleton), I'd love to get information on those.
Finally, and recommendations on specs for the varying road conditions in Minnesota? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
We're looking at the CPO 2013 P85 or P85+. First test drive was today, though we've been researching them on and off for the last two years. Our current primary vehicle is a 2013 Lexus RX350.
Thanks in advance!
