Below is the trip I did last summer, and the trip that my brother is doing right now (he is in Northern California now).


First question, do you have a JESLA or other method to get 40 amps from a NEMA 14-50?


Second, SLOW DOWN !!! Find a truck and match his speed... 55-58mph is typical. Do NOT draft too closely and compromise safety.


Third, run the air conditioner. It is VERY efficient and it is running anyway to cool your battery. The very few miles you'll lose from cooling the cabin will mostly be offset by having the windows up.


Fourth, I think you are using GOM values for your trip, and that is never going to work well.



NOTE: I have a Tesla Roadster adaptor
