As the weather turns and leaves change colors, we thought it would be a good time to gather again and have a group outing. If you've not been on this route in the fall, you're in for a treat. Weather looks good with blue skies and sun.

We will start at the Townsend Visitor center (7906 E Lamar Alexander Pkwy, Townsend, TN 37882) at 2PM EST, then depart on the route as a group.

Foothills Parkway tends to have heavy traffic this time of year, so time estimates will be non-conservative. Add at least an hour.

All time, miles, and % battery are from Downtown Knoxville with a Long Range Model 3 that has 270mi range at 100%, adjust for your car as needed.

I've included some ABRP links below so you can put in your own start/end and have a closer estimate of your own. If you are from outside the area and want to join, the Brookview Center supercharger would be a good stop, and a 70% charge would be sufficient to do one of these trips round-trip. The Pigeon Forge supercharger is off-route, but if you're coming from the east it may be more accessible.
