    EV trip plan gurus: how would this look w/ Model S (How to See 48 States in 5 Days)

    You should do the trip! But I would dump the ICE plans and make your own based on the supercharger coverage. Even with a 70D, you can still cover a lot of ground in the summer: 10,000 miles in 15 days - Lessons Learned in Long Distance Travel

    Haha! Dataset shows locations where I could establish at least one connection to At&t, Verizon, Fi, or TMobile. PCH was remote than Montana in certain areas!

    You are right! The transformer bank seems to correspond to the number of the charger stall so if 2A is occupied, avoid using 2B.

    The north south corridor in the middle of the country is not suited for the 70D. There is a very long leg (199 mile) to get to Omaha and the separation distances keep you at the supercharger for longer than 30 minutes - which is way longer than you want to spend in a parking lot next to a corn...

    10,000 miles in 15 days - Lessons Learned in Long Distance Travel

    I just completed x-country loop covering over 10,000 miles, 102 supercharges in over 32 states. This trip was done primarily to gather vehicle to infrastructure data for my thesis work at MIT. It was also an amazing chance get to know this amazing country with my beautiful wife. Model S 70D is...
