The car drove 728.7 km, 452.8 mi on a single charge. Start and stop point was supercharger in Rødekro, Denmark.

I already have ten referrals and can't get more sales. http://ts.la/morgan4527 ] 452 miles on a single charge in a Tesla Model S P85D This past weekend, Bjørn Nyland of Norway established what has to be a world record for a production electric car. He and a buddy traveled 452.8 miles in his Tesla Model S P85D on a single battery charge. Could they have gone even farther? Yes, his co-driver says. but they didn’t want to press their luck. “Yeah, we wanted to make it a trip with the same start as end point. Then there will be no trolling about difference in wind and elevation. We could have driven around a bit before going to the supercharger, but it was not worth the risk. We spent the whole weekend, and did not really have time to wait for a flatbed.” To stretch their mileage as much as possible, they kept the Tesla at 25 mph the whole way. That converts to more than 18 hours behind the wheel, watching the scenery going slowly by. That takes dedication. But dedication to Tesla is something Nyland has lots of. He has his own YouTube channel devoted entirely to his the trips he has made in his Tesla. In the time he has owned it, he has covered a lot of ground. He is also the fellow who won the Tesla referral contest a few weeks ago. He was the first person in the world to have 10 people buy a new Tesla Model S based upon his recommendation. His prize? A brand new Tesla Model X Founder Edition absolutely free plus an invitation to the official opening of the Gigafactory in Nevada next year. Asked if the record-setting run (the prior record was set by a father and son team who eked out 423.5 miles) would be certified by Guinness World Records, Nyland’s co-driver answered, “Did not talk with the guys at Guinness, so I think not. They would probably want to track the whole thing with a sealed GPS box or something. We did GPS tracking to confirm the numbers in the Tesla, though. But as this record may soon be taken by a 90D or eventually a 120D or similar, there was not much point to make it too official. It was more to show what is possible with this awesome family car.” A Tesla 120D? Does he know something the rest of us don’t? The seats in a Model S may be wonderful, but 18 hours in the saddle is more than most people would care to experience. Nyland may be the most enthusiastic Tesla owner in the world, but there are lots of other Tesla owners who are not that far behind him. 452 miles on a single charge in a Tesla Model S P85D [© gas2.org] http://www.autoblog.com/2015/08/25/theres-a-new-tesla-model-s-long-distance-record-452-8-miles/ There's a new Tesla Model S long-distance record: 452.8 miles Aug 25th 2015 Sebastian Blanco [video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5W4LJ5zL9g ] Norway's Bjorn Nyland Does A Super Drive By Supercharger In Denmark There's a reason this guy's so popular. Bjorn Nyland might be familiar to readers because he just earned himself a free Tesla Model X by successfully getting ten people to buy a Model S. He was able to promote the all-electric car so well because he's been doing it for ages. He's proven the capability of the S by taking it 233 miles on a charge even in the deepest, darkest Norwegian winter. He also knows how to wring a lot more miles out of an electric car when the weather's warm. A little over 452 miles, to be exact. Decked out in a Model S with a "Slow" sticker on the rear end, Nyland and his friend Morgan Tørvolt drove for 18 hours and 40 minutes at an average speed of just 24.2 miles per hour (ouch) to get 452.8 miles out of their battery pack. They started and ended at the Supercharger station in Rødekro, Denmark. That's an extreme bit of hypermiling that I think throws down the challenge gauntlet to Wayne Gerdes or anyone else who wants to see just how far a big EV with two people inside can go. Unsurprisingly, the duo did the drive in a P85D, which has an 85-kWh battery pack, the biggest Tesla currently sells. A P90D model is on the way, so we'll open up the floor to comments to see how many miles you think can be be stretched out of an extra 5 kWh. Pure math would say Nyland and Tørvolt got 5.3 more miles per kWh, which would translate to 26.5 more miles. Somehow we think that's a floor, not a ceiling. The previous record for hypermiling an 85-kWh Model S was set by the father-son duo of David and Adam Metcalf in last 2013. Their record was 423.5 miles.
