That was a lot better than I expected.

Me too. I daily drove a Model S, but that was in SoCal. One of my friends in Montréal had one at the same time, and he ran his car out of juice and had to be rescued twice whilst driving between Magog and Montréal in the winter…

Yea, that test was cute but not real world. I was in the Virginia traffic debacle. All in all, it took me 24 hours to get from Baltimore to Charlotte, including a few hours of sleep. I had winter gear so the engine was off while I slept for 5 hours or so.

Were the lights on the whole time? Just heating footwells is not heating the car. Did he include revving and getting out of being stuck in the snow? I had 4WD so being stuck was no big shake but some others did get stuck?

How about 50 miles of power outage so if there was a problem, there’s no opportunity. That’s 42% of the total charge at 100%.

And in my case, I was about 80 miles into the trip before I had any inkling of a problem until I saw brake lights
