Reply to comment by peggysue_82 in Driving to Leavenworth from Auburn in December. Which vehicle should I take? by sweetpotatoy

No problem with range on the Tesla. It will make it to Leavenworth with plenty to spare. There are superchargers in Monroe, Leavenworth, and Wenatchee so plenty of charging nearby.

Unless you’re stuck in a six+ hour back up. When it’s freezing or below and you tap your battery.

Also make sure you can access all of highway 2. It sustained a lot of damage with the fires.

The Tesla can sit idle with the heat on for almost 24 hours. Unlike a gas engine, it’s not burning power while idling. The power is used to move it. If it’s not moving it’s using a tiny fraction of the battery.

Well obviously the 18 year old who has no pass experience in the snow knows everything. Good luck to you, and hopefully it goes as you plan.
