I'm excited to see how it performs going up Pikes Peak. I think it'll be able to put a strong time.

These exercises are a fantastic way for the manufacturer to evaluate potential weaknesses under strain. It's a good way to "break stuff." Really glad they are doing this.

A piece I will be watching closely is how the battery cooling holds up under those loads...🧐

It WAS a cool way to test a vehicle. But now that the road is 100% paved from top to bottom, it really just turns in a race with bragging rights. Kinda like Nurburging, Gernmany.

Tell us what range you started with and what range you have left at to the top.

Tell us what range you started with and what range you have left at to the top.

And how much you produce while regenning on the way down.

I drove my Tesla Model Y up and down Pikes Peak a couple years ago.

Pikes Peak, 14,115 feet and 15 degrees Fahrenheit

We drove to the top of Pikes Peak today. I thought the graphs were pretty funny and thought people here might find them interesting, too. From the house to the main road is a gentle downhill so the Trip graph is flat. Then you start up the road the battery just nose dives going up the mountain...
