I've driven down from MA 3X in my Model S, twice before Salisbury, MD was opened.
As long as you find good L2 charging (read: Nissan dealer) it is definitely do-able.
The last two times I went were in the middle of winter.
Awesome, good to know!
According to PlugShare, there are ChaDEMO's going in Macarthur Mall parking garage, and some at Scope's garage already. So, I could do the trip now. The only thing holding me back on getting one ATM and using it as the "distance car" is that gap through PA.
To get to the Appomattox area, where the in-laws live, we're currently restricted to coming down through MD, DC, and Richmond. Not bad if you time the trip overnight...but on the way home, we almost always go during the day, and traffic through that area would have me constantly watching the range.
If we had 81/78/84 through PA as an altrernative, I'd feel a lot better about it.
(And I don't like car notes. If I were to buy one right now, I'd half to finance almost half of it. If I were to wait ~ year, I'd only have to finance ~ $20K)
Question for those using the onboard Trip Planner:
Is it smart enough to reroute you around traffic, and if so, does it take into account how the traffic will affect your charge?
