Day 23 500 miles, almost exactly It was a beautiful drive, albeit a long drive. 14 1/2 hours long, but there were so many wonderful vistas along the way. Check-ins for 2024-05-31 - Aberdeen, WA (#1642) (Comment: Public lot) - Ocean Shores, WA (#1643) (Comment: Ocean Shores convention center )...

Day 22 360 miles My body dictated what I did today. Without going into detail, ensuring a bathroom was never far away was necessary. I, therefore, decided to clear Portland and then come up the coast to Astoria to position myself for another attempt at the Olympic Peninsula tomorrow. That'll be...

Tiger, OR connects to a Tesla WiFi .

Day 21 402 miles. Trip total so far: ~6,457 Tacoma Valley -> Olympia Thanks to others' suggestions, I stopped at Dry Falls, Moses Lake dunes, and the Columbia River overlook on I-90. I experienced huge headwinds coming across the plains and heavy rain in the Cascades, but it was an enjoyable...

Yes. I'll be around the broader Seattle area through the 8th. My rough plan is: Wednesday: Spokane -> Dry Falls -> Moses Lake Sanddunes -> Tacoma area Thursday: Collect the superchargers around the Olympic National Forest Friday: Seattle area superchargers Saturday: Hanging with @Big Earl and...

I broke 1,600 unique locations today. 486 miles driven Completed my first supercharge in the state of Washington, which means I only have to charge in Oregon to complete the lower 48 plus DC. A picture perfect day for a drive across Montana. I arrived in Couer d'Alene around dinner, so I...

I can be a bit slow at times. ;-) Pretty wild that of all the paintings in that museum, the one I chose to capture was the one that Mr. Petrie appears to cherish a lot (the most?) since they chose to feature him in front of that same painting.

What makes that unfortunate? The entire room where that painting hangs is dedicated to Petrie and his support for the museum.

Just one today, but now I start my way out of Montana tomorrow. Day 18 284 miles 5424 total. - Great Falls, MT (#1595) (Comment: Hampton inn ) The wind dictated my short route today. I chose the safer approach to Great Falls and backtracked to Big Timber. Spent the afternoon siteseeing...

Thanks. Decided to not push my luck as I've already had two white knuckle drives on this trip. Backtracked to Big Timber and did a fill charge. Drove slowly and arrived with 24%, which was slightly better than the predicted 21%.

Short day for me. Check-ins for 2024-05-25 - Big Timber, MT (#1592) (Comment: Sinclair ) - Laurel, MT (#1593) (Comment: Fairfield by Marriott ) - Billings - N Frontage Rd, MT (#1594) (Comment: Town pump gas station/ convenience store.) Tomorrow, I plan to attempt the Billings to Great Falls...

477 miles today. 4,974 miles total. The windshield crack continues to get worse. I've used crazy glue to stabilize the cracks, but I'm not very optimistic. It was a beautiful day for a drive, especially Teton Pass to Jackson, WY. But the day was a slog, especially given that I learned the...

Day 14 418 miles. Rain. Lots of rain. Also, a cracked windshield from a rock thrown by a truck. Argh. My 50,000-mile warranty has now expired after almost exactly one year. Was excited to see the bridge at Twin Falls, and I did, but it was cold, windy, and rainy. I was also under time...

Day 13 is in the books. I am writing email updates for my dad and am including people interested in following along. If you're interested in hearing more about my journey, just PM me with your email address. I spent yesterday in Loveland working to solve a vibration problem I encountered when...

Photos from Custer 2024 https://photos.app.goo.gl/fZU3KeTzkTQYgQu3A

Here we are! Most of the top 10 and @tharasix.

Long day yesterday. It began early with a visit with friends who wanted to learn about Teslas and experience FSD. I hope to publish a video of them experiencing autonomy for the first time but need to find time to edit it and then get their approval. Then came a very long day of getting a few...

Added. Very cool.

I drove 691 miles today to the Ann Arbor area, where I'll be giving a family a test drive tomorrow. They are considering an X and want to experience FSD as well. Nice saying hi to @SilverMonk at the newest Toledo supercharger. All supercharger stops today (and in fact since the beginning of...

Day 2 of the summer odyssey was a slog through Manhattan. We stayed in a hotel at Times Square, so I decided to get the 47th Street charger. That was a mistake. It cost me at least an hour due to snarled traffic that didn't move. Eventually, myself and others found a way to extract ourselves via...

First alert. Lagrangeville New York

That's what confirming means. Sites can be a bit flaky in the first few days, so several reports helps confirm stability.

Can confirm the site is live.

First alert.Wooleich township, New Jersey

Spectacular! Are you going to make it to Custer? They will have a table for us and give us some time to tell people about the game and how to join. It'd be great if you could be there.

Other than that hotel in far west Texas, I've never had a problem at a hotel. I politely ask where the bathroom is and they pint me in the right direction. I've talked with a number of sites that have this solution. Their chargers are still working, although Tesla has not communicated with...

Added. I don't plan to add many more Interstates, as the goal is to get off the Interstates. However, that is not an immutable rule if we think of other particularly spectacular segments.

I am also hearing this in the replies to my tweet about the commercial charging team being let go, but I do not have confirmation it is true. Do you have confirmation?

I am also adding I-70 west of Denver, as the drive through the gorge is like nothing else.

Thanks. . The Moab to Cisco drive is spectacular! I definitely want to drive it again at some point. Added. Decided against adding CO24 for now. When adding the Moab road, I noticed a road that goes from Naturita, CO to Grand Junction that looks pretty spectacular as well. The Hanging...

This is the new norm.

What a sad and demoralizing day it was yesterday.

Added. Thanks.

Odds are its Elon being Elon. He may be efficient. He may be innovative. He may be an amazing entrepreneur. But he most certainly is not empathetic nor contemplative. He doesn't think twice about firing people, consequences be damned. Just be glad you don't work for him, as you quite...

Not a rumor. Multiple accounts confirming it has happened. No one has any insight into what will happen.

Neat. I've begun going through them and adding them to the map above as appropriate.

This is great. I've been adding roads to a personal Google Maps. I just went through my locations and put them in a new and public map. I've used your notes above to highlight why some of these roads should be driven. There are so many more cool roads out there. Let's keep adding them. You...

Keep the road suggestions coming across the West. I expect these wonderful roads will comprise a big part of my route planning from late May through late July.

I still wear a fleece jacket I bought from the Monterey Aquarium on one of our visits, as we didn't have cold weather gear, and it was bloody cold. July 2014 I've bookmarked this site and will try to go through during the week. I don't know my plans well enough to reserve ahead of time...

V4 pedestal deployments are still pretty hit and miss. Plus, Tesla recently said they'd be doing some revisions to them based on early feedback, so deployments are likely halted for awhile. Unless the permit specifically mentions or illustrates v4 pedestals, it is safer to assume this will be a...

We have reservations at Mesa Verde over Juneteenth.

This is great info. Thanks! I didn't know about the reservation to cross via Yosemite. I have the handicapped pass for national parks, so I should be good to go on that front. I didn't think I qualify as a senior just yet. I'll have lots of flexibility. Everything remains very flexible for now...

And my eclipse trip summary

Home for two weeks, and then the big trip begins. I am on month 11 of owning the X and have just 4,000 miles left on the warranty. Next week, I have an appointment for tires, alignment, and look-over. The tires are pretty good overall, but the potholes have clearly taken a toll on the...

That would be an interesting addition. We'd have to decide whether we want the initial visit or the most recent repeat. We wouldn't want a long list of visit dates to show up there. There is a way to do this now but it does require a couple of additional steps. Go to your "me" view. Scroll...

A very zig-zaggy day, but I cleared a bunch of locations (new and revisits) that are pretty tough, because this part of the country is never really on a route I travel. Indianapolis around rush hour isn't a lot of fun. Our routes are crazy. I mean who drives a route like below? Check-ins...

Fencing still up. Meter still covered.

Roaming around the middle part of the country clearing out new-to-me and need-to-revisit superchargers. Tomorrow, I'll spend most of the day roaming around Illinois to clear three need-to-revisit superchargers since I'm here, and they'd otherwise be very inconvenient to visit. Hope to spend...

neat. i need to add this to my visit list.

cc @Big Earl @juliusa @corywright FYI, I do have lat/long in my Tableau visualizations. Click on the dot, and a pop-up will include a link to search Google Maps by Lat/Long. THis visualization pulls from supercharge.info, but it is a manual process. I try to update it daily...
