Road trip in Polestar 3 from Tampa to 9000ft in foothills of Colorado.

I just did road trip from Tampa to 9k feet in the foothills of colorado.

I had no issues with the car. The lane keeping is outstanding, absolutely blew me away coming from the shitty polestar 2 lane keeping. I used it the entire trip, it didn't once lose the lane. It's reallya enjoyable car to drive, incredibly comfortable the entire trip.

I drove the southern route. Tampa ->Pensacola->Mobile-Shieveport->Dallas->Amarillo

I did 1923 miles, it took 29 hours of just driving. I slept 4 hours in the car, otherwise my naps were at chargers. Consumed 771 kwh, total efficiency was 40.1kwh/100 miles. Before I started climbing up into the Rockies my efficiency was 36kwh/100 at 67mph. Average speed was 65 mpg at the end. though I drove 9 over the speedlimit the entire way in the highways. So usually 74, 79 and 84 mph.

22inch sport wheels on Toyo Proxes ST III.

I exclusively used Tesla Superchargers(used my own adapter A2Z), I bought the membership for the month. I spent a total of 263.25. + the 12.99 membership.

I used ABRP to plan the route, and transferred it to googlemaps. It worked real well.

I made 12 charging stops, for a total of 5 hours and 13 minutes. I tried to get every charging stop under 10% on arrival. Most of the stops got me there right around 10%, the lowest I got was 3%. Usually charged to 60-70%. I charged to almost 100% in Dallas(it was only .17kwh!!! and 2 in the morning)

I never once saw 250kw, I never went over 200kw.
