Did a road trip from Bay area to Klamath Falls Oregon

[Shygar]

Did a very quick road trip to Klamath Falls Oregon to see lava beds in California. Truck did great. It was me and my 2 young kids. Netflix was handy for much of the trip, although I wish there was a download video option I could do on Wi-Fi, as we hit some spotty areas. I ended up using my phone hotspot (Verizon) in some areas that the truck lost the connection.

Ended up at 750 miles 465 wH/mile average (Trip B), which is a lot higher than my 390 wH/mile average before this trip for around town and highway driving to work. It's probably because I averaged around 75 mph the way there and maybe closer to 80 on the way back. My only time I was cautious on range was to lava beds and back towards Redding, since there were no chargers out there. But it was fine when I turned sentry mode off.

Nice trip. That efficiency is a bit lower than I'd have hoped.

This is by me too bad we didn't bump into each other.

Nice to have a destination charger there, some parks are going to be out of reach for the CT due to range issues but when there is a working destination it helps.

Have not been out there in many years but was a special place.

Yea last time I went my son was 6 months old so it was a bit harder. Now they are 6 and 8 I think they got to enjoy it. Stayed at the Fairfield Inn in Klamath Falls, and they had a couple chargers there. I was worried someone would unplug me at night, but got a full 12 hours of charging at 32 amps to get full again.

I would have loved to see another one out there!

If I was driving my usual 65-70 it would have been better. But the speed limit was 70 much of the way here and I was trying to get there and back in 2 days.

Indeed. Hope we can get some more efficient road tires too.

I've driven that several times in a Model S. But between 2016 and 2018. The wild west of SC access.

Loved staying in the Mt. Shasta Best Western in the snow.

Now I only go from the Bay to Clearlake.

There has been a 150 kW Supercharger in Klamath Falls for 7 years and a couple months ago Tesla got a permit to add a 250 kW Ver. 4 Supercharger just north of town.

I had one with the sign, just added another near one of the caves.

No parks are out of reach unless you're in Alaska. And then they're out of reach to most trucks anyhow.
