AWD-LongRange-Aero

Day1: Charged to 100% at home (50F)
Drove 230 miles, (~50F) (Climate ON at 70F)
Rocky Mount NC (Supercharger) - Arrived at 14%, Charged to 80%.
Drove 180 miles, (~55F) (Climate ON at 70F)
Florence SC (Supercharger) - Arrived at 15%, Charged to 80%
We had to wait for about 15 mins, as ALL of 16 stations were taken over by ICE cars,
This SC is at the entrance of Magnolia Mall, so I guess people just parked there as convenience.
Drove 172 miles (~55F) (Climate ON at 70F)
Overnite break @Home2 Hilton, Pooler GA - Arrived at 14%.

Day2: Drove to nearby supercharger (3 miles)
Savannah SC (Supercharger) - Charged to 80% [This charger is at airport]
Drove 170 miles, (~60F) (Climate ON at 70F)
St Augustine FL (Supercharger) - Arrived at 15%, Charged to 80%
Drove 150 miles, (~65F) (Climate ON at 72F)
West Melbourne FL (Supercharger) - Arrived at 20% Charged to 80%
Drove 140 miles, (~75F) (Climate ON at 72F)
Fort Lauderdale (Destination) - Arrived at 30%

Return Trip:

Day1: Charged to 85% (80F)
Drove 150 miles, (~80F) (Climate ON at 72F)
West Melbourne FL (Supercharger) - Arrived at 32%, Charged to 90%
Drove 210 miles, (~80F) (Climate ON at 72F)
Kingsland GA (Supercharger) - Arrived at 15%, Charged to 85%
Drove 210 miles, (~60F) (Climate ON at 70F)
Santee SC (Supercharger) - arrived at 13%, Charged to 80%
Drove 150 miles, (~55F) (Climate ON at 70F)
Overnite break @DoubleTree Fayetteville NC - Arrived at 25%

Day2: Supercharger in parking lot of DoubleTree Fayetteville NC
Fayetteville NC (Supercharger) - Charged to 90%
Drove 200 miles, (~50F) (Climate ON at 70F)
Chester VA (Supercharger) - Arrived at 15%, Charged to 80%
Drove 125 miles, (~45F) (Climate ON at 70F)
Home (Tysons VA) - Arrived at 25%

Entire round trip ~2100 miles, 547 kwh, 260 Wh/mi
Roughly about an hour break at each supercharger. I would calculate the distance between stops and add 60 miles to that distance for charge (if you're into distance and not percentage battery)
95% of the time drove on Autopilot. It is just amazing how well it handled traffic, rain, heavy fog and night time driving. I would just take over during construction phase.

Since you have a M3 LR AWD, what do you estimate the “handicap” was versus a M3 LR RW in range?

Wow, all 16 stalls were ICE’ed! That is a disgrace. I’d have some words with mall management.

Also, it was on Christmas Eve. So, I figured it's an exception.

Assuming you waited and saw someone come move their ICE...did you say anything to them?

 

[T3slaPat3l]

Since you have a M3 LR AWD, what do you estimate the “handicap” was versus a M3 LR RW in range?

I don't think of any.
I would consistently get near or less than 250 Wh/mile with heater off v/s near 275 Wh/mile at 70 mph.

Yes, unfortunately that station had 30 min customer parking as well. I did notify the security when I went in at food court and shamelessly the guy said it happens all the time.
