First “long trip” in the Flash. Lincoln Ca to Monterey Bay Ca. Navigation said I would make it there with 14% to spare, but stopped in Gilroy at Tesla Supercharger just to top off and stretch.
Screen said charging at 180-185 kw. I thought Lightning could only charge at 150 kw or less.
I figure 180 kw is what is available if I was driving a Tesla and, regardless of what the screen says, the Lightning is only pulling 150 kw.
Had to wait 2-3 minutes for a spot that didn’t block two chargers. I pulled right up to charger and slightly onto the curb (truck life
) to get the charging cable to reach.
Surrounded by Teslas but no dirty looks that I noticed.
Averaging 2.1 mi/kWh with average speeds ranging from 65-80 mph. Mostly 75 mph. Outside temperature of 65-70 degrees. Interior temperature set 71.
Super comfortable and plenty of available squirt when I had to accelerate past traffic.
Tried Blue Cruise, but I prefer to do the driving.
