Yes, I’ve had my 4S+ for almost two years and yesterday was our first trip. Not long, just 120 miles. But with COVID and some health issues only local driving has been possible. Departed near Stratford upon Avon in the South Midlands over to Aberdovey North Wales. All ‘B’ roads across country. The start, slightly strange as at 100% charge in the car it appeared to want a charging stop! Soon had that sorted as the ‘charge at destination’ was set to 60% and just needed dropping below 50%. All good to start. I was thinking “50% charge, 120 miles if I can do that‘s 240 miles range“
Off we go, no Sport mode, just everything normal with A/C at 22C and driving close to any speed limits enjoying all the twists and turns. Believe me you get a lot going to Wales. No silly frugal driving, just normal everything and the final charge at destination was creeping up!
At 60% I was thinking again “40% used for 120 miles, that’s 300 mile range!!” We arrived at Aberdovey just over 120 miles covered and used 35% battery, 65% remaining. That equates to over 340 mile range. Unbelievable. So maybe having a 2022 battery, new electronics and - at last - software updates has made the car far better that when purchased? I’m still in shock even my brother’s Tesla can’t do that range. . . . And yes, it’s raining.
