My range was less than half on this trip.

Does nearly 6 charges mean 5?
And does 1.5 each way mean 3?
So 2 extra charge stops?
What charge range do you normally use?

Aero and speed matter more than weight.

What did it look like?

I thought you may have taken note of it or assigned it to a the A or B trip.

If you used a product like TeslaFI-COM then you could look back at this data at anytime.
eg a Nov 15th trip I took showing 2 charges and 2 drives

you had to be flying. I got 175 miles on a 96% charge to like 11%. I don't remember the exact finish % but I was towing a 3200+ travel trailer. I was driving abut 60mph.

Were you on flat or going over a mountain?

FYI, bike mode so the elevation graph below would show up.

I dont remember the exact state but it was on the east coast between FL and NY.

I averaged about 68MPH and now that I look at my load, the trailer is 800lbs with a load of 600lbs.

Yes, that was the exact route. It is only "hilly" for about 4 elevations and 4 descents after Yakima but otherwise the grade is pretty mild.
