Cornwall on Superchargers Alone
Four days down the A30 spine: surf beaches, the far west, and a night on the Lizard where no Supercharger can save you.
Your car, your numbers
Range is what your car honestly does on a full charge, not the brochure number (a used Model Y is ~260). The ~15% overnight draw comes from our own cold-morning testing; drop it if you run Camp Mode warm-weather lean. Every stop below recalculates as you type, and your numbers are remembered for other routes. Estimates assume steady A-road driving. If the maths goes red on the boss level, that's not a bug. That's the boss level.
