Picking up a new car (Tesla Model 3) next week and I’d like to take it for an extended drive the following weekend. Can anyone suggest a route starting in South Leeds taking in some good driving roads, with nice views and ideally a cafe somewhere along the route for an obligatory bacon buttie and brew?

I was thinking either Pennines (Snake Pass) or North Yorkshire (e.g. Harrogate - Pateley Bridge - Grassington - Otley).

I’m thinking of something like this - a quick blast North up the A1, pull off at Ripon then West towards Grassington on fast A roads before a winding and hilly route back via Ilkley and Otley.
