I see no posts so I thought I would post my first road trip after 2 weeks of ownership.
For Thanksgiving my family went snowboarding and skiing at Whistler Blackcomb.
We left Seattle on Wednesday afternoon at 100% in nice 50F weather. I switched to Conserve as soon as I entered I-5. Traffic sucked until we escaped Marysville. It was a breeze after that.
I wanted to experience fast charging so stopped at Electrify Canada in Squamish. I tried 3 of the 4 stations until I achieved charging. Even then it wouldn’t accept RFID tap of CC. I needed to insert and use chip. Started at 36% and saw constant 150kW on 150 station during 9 min session.
Whistler has no true fast charging. Only 2x 50kW chargers in Convention Center parking garage and multiple 6 kW public charging stations in the ski area parking lots. We stayed near Blackcomb base not too far from the only free station at Lot 6. Overnight parking is not allowed so I did 2 sessions: 5pm to 11pm (44kWh) and 6am to 3pm (58kWh).
I drove home today (45F) in Conserve and arrived home with 26% left. I am happy with the efficiency (2.11) considering the temperatures.
First road trip impressions:
Comfortable to drive (did not feel tired after)
Not the best drivers seat but acceptable.
Biggest vehicle I have owned so appreciate the lane keep warning ( most of the time) and appreciate the overhead view when squeezing into parking spaces.
I prefer auto cruise to full highway assist. Can you change lanes without it disengaging?
Whole family loves Wi-Fi hotspot. Works in CA! It turns off when you cross border and needs to be manually turned on again.
My son loves back seat (2nd row).
I put seats down on drivers side. Center including armrest drops with it robbing my son of cup holder.
