It is such that the total net change is about the same as if you had gone
the same distance on level ground.

Right. But my point is you burn more power going up than you’ll regenerate
going down.

Yah. Teslas are not like that. Going down a mountain generates power.
Slowing down (sort of braking) generates power. In aggressive throttle
mode, you hardly have to touch the brake as you can accelerate and slow
down with regenerative braking.

So yes. You’ll get into a deficit.

Depends on distance. My car is always charged. So I always have 200

takes a different mindset. No maintenance and a truck good for a half
million miles with no fuel costs is pretty attractive to me (I charge
with solar).
How much do you lose climbing elevation? Let's say sea level up to 7000'
180 miles uphill (San Fransisco to Donner Pass). It's a minimal grade
for the first 100 miles then the last 80 is nothing but uphill. Back
when Tesla was first doing their supercharger network thing they put
ones in Roseville (basically the bottom of the hill) and more in Truckee
(just past the summit) so the assumption was that the climb is hard and
you would charge before going up the hill and charge again after the
climb. Even just to go to Lake Tahoe requires crossing an 8000' summit
(Reno is around 4200').
I'd like to get my wife an electric car, but it seems like normal
mountain driving would eat the battery quickly and then it never gets
used except for flat driving to and from her job or shopping. I'll have
16.3kW DC of solar panels by the end of February and the way I see it is
free "fuel" for the car. I don't care about saving the planet as much as
I am interested in technology.
