Took my truck from sea level up to around 2800’—anyone else tracked efficiency for this kind of elevation gain?
Efficiency could be worse considering it’s uphill, especially at highway speeds. Hard to say for sure without knowing your roundtrip numbers, but the truck looks awesome regardless!

Didn’t record everything on the return, but I remember leaving with an 80% charge and reaching the summit with around 42%. Made it to a Tesla supercharger with 12% left (charger is about 10 minutes past my house). Managed to get up to 35% in 10 minutes before heading to work.

Quick napkin math here, but you probably got around 2 miles per kWh on the way back. If you were driving in warmer weather, you could see different results in winter. I’d start trips like this at 100% charge just to be safe.
You’ll probably regain some efficiency on the way down.
Is it leveled?

Yes, it is.
What was the temperature? That can make a huge difference in range.

I’m curious if a full charge would get you there and back in snowy weather.
