Atlanta trip for tires

[bwilson4web]

I did a round trip Huntsville-to-Atlanta to pickup two light-weight rims and better tires:

• Travel time: 2:00 AM to 10:45 AM
  • 30 minutes to wait and load tires
• Distance: 370 miles
• Left with 100% SOC and 232 miles estimated range
• Arrived with 20% SOC, 46 miles estimated range
• Recharged to 67%, 24 kWh, $2.64
  
• Supercharger costs: $8.58
• Biology breaks while Supercharging:
  • 21 minutes - bathroom and coffee
    
  • 22 minutes - breakfast

So these metrics give:

1. 370 miles / (8.75 - 0.5) hours = 45 mph (state roads)
   
2. $0.023 / mile Supercharger costs
3. $0.032 / mile Supercharger and home costs

Leaving the loading dock, I heard the 'tick tick' and stopped right away. There was a metal screw but I removed it before it punctured the tire.
