22k and another high desert expedition.
Yesterday decided to visit someone in the high desert, and also test my battery and range after crossing 21k and racking up about 100 miles a day since then now. I changed work and no longer need to commute 203 miles a day between Murrieta and Santa Monica. Nonetheless the range is as solid as ever. Up the Cajon pass did cost me 1/3 of the battery but then it was all cruising along. And when I fully charged there I could make it all the way back to Murrieta 97 miles away through ups and downs across the 15 and 215. Nightime the temp dipped to 27 and the steering became slightly noisy (grease needed?) and the tires are sensitive to it given their pressure will dip by 5-7 PSI under such conditions which needed me to add some pressure. I passed the 22k mark on the way down. At this rythm I expect > 40k by the first year I will have the car. Long distance commuting and long range travel within 300 miles are definitely the best qualities of a pure electric vehicle.
