    First EV Road Trip 700+ Miles Roundtrip - Some Observations

    That is interesting. I had never thought about that, even when using my ICE car. I’ll give that a shot on my upcoming road trip to SoCal and see how that goes.

    I’m planning a trip from SF to DC in the next few months. Been keeping an eye out on weather and it’s seeming that I’ll be better off taking the Southern route. I appreciate any tips you have on your journeys.

    First EV Road Trip 700+ Miles Roundtrip - Some Observations

    Well if you consider it’s 6+ hours each way. That’s probably one meal, maybe another snack, and some beverages. In my case I had a banana peel and a few coffee cups cluttering up my cabin. Not the end of the world, but would have been nice to be able to dump them while I was charging.

    First EV Road Trip 700+ Miles Roundtrip - Some Observations

    I’m in the same boat - still have an ICE car I can use for trips (RAV 4 Hybrid) but I chose to use the M3 LR to get outside my comfort zone. I don’t regret it. It was a good learning experience that taught me important lessons about range anxiety, and speed management. I split time between the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Some insane whiplash,EDD went from 2/2- 2/28 last week, then 3/10 a 3/31 last night. Was on the brink of canceling my order today given Musk’s terrible post about Trudeau, but decided to stick with it. Looked again today and now my car is slated for 2/17-2/21 and a VIN has been assigned.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    +1 to this. I’ve had Geico for 15 years and they previously gave me the best rates on prior vehicles (Audis + BMWs). Because of this thread I researched Progressive and found that they have a much more favorable rate. Going to switch when my vehicle is delivered.
