I bawt a Tesla

Trip up Mt Washington auto road:

started with 72% battery

arrived at top with 57%

arrived at bottom again with 65%

Only touched the brakes once on the way down. All regenerative braking. For the third of the way at the bottom, all you smell is burning brakes. People don't take seriously the signs telling you to pull over to cool off the brakes...

BTW to everyone, the auto road is about the damn coolest thing you can possibly do, and I highly recommend it. It is stunning to see the scale of the land, to look at all the mountains from atop the highest mountain. I'm putting Pike's Peak on the bucket list, because damn.
