This week, we drove our 4S to a well known destination for us, Kelowna BC. This involves some actual mountains. Some pictures posted in the Frozen Blue photos thread.
Here is the profile of the part between Hope BC and Kelowna (trip planner in Plugshare has this graph). From sea level, peaking at 5700ft (1700m). Total driven distance, 162 miles, which is a few miles longer than this graph.
The scary part is that first 30 miles used 30% of my battery at 110-130kmh. The rest of the trip only used another 30%, at the same speeds. From the peak to our destination, we used zero net battery - almost 30 miles for 'free'.
Total trip consumption was 2.8 miles/kwh, where my long distance, freeway speed trips tend to be 3.1-3.3 miles/kwh.
On the return, I averaged 1.2 miles/kwh to the peak, and again 2.8 miles/kwh overall.
The Porsche planner was pretty spot on with the expected range on this trip too, even with the unusual elevation challenges.
