How many 1000 mile+ trips have you been on with it? How many times in -20 weather?
I have done many California Texas road trips in my Model X, during winter, issue free.
I live in San Francisco and frequently do road trips in my Model X (90kWh).
To date, I've traveled from SF to:
- Dallas
- Portland
- Los Angeles (a bunch)
- Random rural parts of Northern CA
- Yosemite
- Reno/Tahoe
The trip planner on the Model X auto-routes you to charging stops. The on-board energy calculator is pretty accurate, and you can adjust your speed as needed if things are getting dicey (eg: you're approaching 5-10% battery before reaching a charging station). I haven't had range anxiety -- (nor do I really think about the range).
The charging breaks were annoying at first, because you end up stopping for 30-40 mins on road trips. I actually appreciate the charging stops now -- gives you a chance to stretch / recharge your brain. I definitely feel less fatigued when I reach my destination, even though it takes a little longer due to the charging.
I'm not sure I understand the comments about EVs and their viability for road trips -- I definitely prefer driving the Tesla (or rather, letting it drive me w/ Autopilot).
If it's not in the computer, it doesn't exist.
