Yes. We typically charged overnight at RV parks, then arranged our lunch stop near a supercharger. Here’s my trip odometer
Edit. Sorry, having trouble uploading the screen grab.
Over 8055 miles, the average was 445 Wh/mi.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I toy with the idea of owning a T@G, or even a small utility trailer (Space Trailer) that I can pull behind the 3. Leaning more towards the utility trailer, since I could use it both for camping, and to haul gear to the track, AND have the family come with.
Can you share the average speeds you were driving and how the car felt at highway speeds? The one thing I'm not fond of, is driving along at 55-60 MPH because I've got a trailer behind me...
Thanks for the info! You were saying before you got about 75% of your usual range towing your T@G but your average for the trip was 455 which would be more like 53%. Could you elaborate there? I've got the MR and my mind is currently all obsessed with getting a tiny teardrop camper the same dimensions and weight as your T@G. I know we can tow it just fine with our Outback but I'd absolutely love to know I can do major camping trips with it towed behind the 3!
To get best range, combine lower speeds with low drag. Our teardrop is six feet wide, but if a five foot width works for you, then you will cut a bunch of drag. Keeping speeds down will make a big difference as well.
I've heard that before about the width of a teardrop making a huge difference with drag. I am thinking of something no wider than 5ft, in fact. Eventually I want to replace my wife's Outback with the Y but that's going to be a few years away and that will certainly be the new tow vehicle. I figure if I can get a teardrop to work towing behind a MR 3 then we'll be more than set for towing one behind a LR Y. On top of that more and more Superchargers are being built and the issue of range becomes less and less over time.
Thanks for the info! Nice looking trailer, too. I'm still shopping and on the fence about buying vs building. My wife is really strict about not spending too much but finding one cheap is turning out to be a struggle. They're just a bit too popular right now.
I might have missed it, but which model 3 do you have?
