I heard a rumor that it was going to be at the new HEB getting built at Main and Legacy. But then again, that could be it. Just a rumor……….

For anyone interested in my route with all the charging stops, here's a link to the Epic Road Trip in EV Trip Planner.

@X.l.r.8 thanks for the correction. There was a 3rd chain that I had to hook to my Y. I assumed that the trailer brakes were only emergency brakes that would get triggered if the trailer became unhooked and pulled on the 3rd chain. Good to know. Thanks again. And you're right. It is a chore...

It's difficult to come up with something I dislike about the MYLR. If there was one thing, it was driving at night and the annoying red trailer mode icon that showed up on the screen. During the day the icon would be blue, but any time I turn on the lights, the icon would go red. Everything...

It was transported on a truck. I have OVMS installed so I could check the GPS and see that the truck had several drop offs and/or pickups in Houston. After driving cross country for a few days, then the truck had some drop offs and/or pickups in Oregon and Washington before the roadster was...

Is the 12v battery history only available in the OVMS Android app? I've got the apple app, and I've never seen the 12v history.

The Uhaul trailer did not have brakes, only lights. I didn't measure tongue weight. The weight of the loaded trailer only compressed the suspension on the Y about as much as me standing on the ball hitch (I weigh in the neigborhood of 200 lbs). Visually, everything looked nice and level, most of...

I didn't talk to the VW owner. I didn't even realize it was an ID4 until I looked at the pictures later. The ID4 was parked in a non-charging spot, and I assumed it was just another ICE car. The superchargers were in the parking lot for the city hall, and there were some regular and handicapped...

DEFINITELY! I had a lot of fun on this trip. I'm always up for a good road trip. Our 2021 Model Y already has over 30k miles on it. We've been to Connecticut and back twice. I have dreams of road trips with the Cybertruck. I did a lot of daydreaming on this epic road trip. :) :)

I've got a Ford F-150 that takes regular gas. I only get about 14 MPG when driving around town. I've pulled a lot of trailers with that thing, but I don't have the courage to calculate my mileage when pulling trailers. See no evil, hear no evil.........

How long ago was that? It seems recently the cost of shipping has gone up. About a year ago, I shipped the roadster to Seattle, and it was about $1800. Now its $2300. TX <-> Seattle.

I got a quote for $2300 to move the roadster from Seattle to Frisco TX in a covered transport. I've been thinking about an epic roadtrip for years now. I had a lot of fun driving cross country. It wasn't about the cost savings to me. When you add up the cost of renting the trailer $850, hotels...

On my epic road trip.
