Tesla Model Y diary, day 4 range test family trip with bikes

This is an ongoing journal of my first few weeks with Model Y. Check Day 1,  Day 2, Day 3

One of the most important jobs for our Model Y is getting the whole family up to our summer/ski condo in Vermont from our home outside of NYC. The trip is around 180 miles. Our Model X 90D would get such poor range that we’d almost always have to make a Supercharger stop along the way, to make it with confidence. I should note that the route is quite curvey and hilly and the last leg is climbing a mountain, so it isn’t a straight shot by any means.

So one of the things I’m hoping to get from the Model Y is the ability to make it the whole way comfortably, without charging. To make it more interesting, we added bikes to the back, using our freshly installed tow hitch. Would the Model Y be able to make it?
