Reply to comment by kkicinski in Driving to Leavenworth from Auburn in December. Which vehicle should I take? by sweetpotatoy

Unless you’re stuck in a six+ hour back up. When it’s freezing or below and you tap your battery.

Also make sure you can access all of highway 2. It sustained a lot of damage with the fires.

The Tesla can sit idle with the heat on for almost 24 hours. Unlike a gas engine, it’s not burning power while idling. The power is used to move it. If it’s not moving it’s using a tiny fraction of the battery.

Well obviously the 18 year old who has no pass experience in the snow knows everything. Good luck to you, and hopefully it goes as you plan.
