Here is the summary of charging and driving from Pasadena to Temecula to Fremont in mid 50 slightly rain conditions.
Yet a very relaxing ride.
1. Pasadena to Temecula 83.5 miles 1h 20 min Max speed 80mph. Elevation change 400ft.
HA set to 70mph. Average speed 61mph 4.1 miles per kWh.
2. Temecula to Fremont 445 miles Driving time about 7.5hrs. Max speed 90mph (yeah a Model 3 annoyed me lol!) Elevation change 3500.
HA set to 70mph. Average speed 59mph 3.9 miles per kWh.
Charging:
See attached photo. Best was a 350KW EA charger at Livermore outlets 19% to 50% in 13 min peak was 220kW. Average 143kW for 31kWh.
Given the fact this car gets me close to 4 miles per kWh, 31kWh is 124 miles. Not bad at all and this shows that the problem with charging speed
is not the car but EA. Also, PnC never worked.
A fantastic driving experience and very relaxed when I pulled in to my garage at 46% SOC after driving from Livermore to Fremont 20 miles. 50% to 46% 20miles
is 5 miles for 1%.
To be honest, there was only 1 minor hiccup promptly cured by Nuke reset. When I pulled into Kettleman City 350kW charger my phone had a lose USB C connection and I had to wait to
charge it to 4% and open the App to authenticate. I did that and while charging the phone suddenly powered off. As luck would have it, the pilot panel and the panel above it and the
small left panel went blank. It was still charging and I wanted to stop charging. I opened the door and the alarm went off and I used my valet card to open the door and did Nuke reset. All was well after that.
