We all know that the regenerative breaking on the Tesla Roadster works very well. If you're going down a mountain street, you will recuperate a lot of energy.
Now a question came to my mind.
Is it possible, that driving on mountain streets will give you more range?
To simplify I list two options:
a) Going 100 miles with ~50 mph on a flattish street
b) Going 50 miles with ~50 mph up a steep mountain and 50 miles back down
Were will more range be left? Option a or b? What do you think / are your experiences?
