    Places to take roadtrip in March that would be warm?

    We're starting to plan some roadtrips for this summer, and I was wondering if anyone thought a trip the middle of March (daughter's preschool spring break) might be doable? We're in Denver so we were thinking we'd have to pretty much head south. Maybe Grand Canyon. Any ideas?

    Advice: My first road trip. Toronto, Chicago, La Crosse, Green Bay, Minocqua, return.

    As a photographer and video guy, preparing equipment for air travel adds many hours in packing, checking bags and clearing customs. I rationalized the purchase of the Tesla by saying I'd use it for any location within a days drive. So, I will be driving to a multi-day, multi-location shoot...

    Rheazombi's Tips on How to Eat Healthy on a Road Trip!

    Inspired by the EV obesity thread... ( http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/42205-Does-the-EV-lifestyle-lead-to-obesity ) I decided to make a new thread instead of clogging that other one with an infodump. As someone who road trips frequently, I've figured out over time how to eat...

    Brodered: Autocar London to Amsterdam roadtrip

    Home on the range - testing the Tesla Supercharger network | Autocar I'm calling BS. 1) If you can't find destination charging in Amsterdam it's a bad job. There are thousands of places. 2) It's 125 driving miles between the Ghent and Maidstone superchargers. I could get that from a P85...

    How's this for a road trip charging backup cable+adapter option?

    Not sure what might be needed...some sort of extension, plus 14-30 for stove/dryer/RV connect...mostly for peace of mind, but also for a better range of options...considered the Camco 30 ft. 14-50 extension, but not sure that really covers the right set of circumstances... This EVSEadapter is...

    New Version of EVTripPlanner

    Ben, the developer of EVTripPlanner.com here. I've gotten a lot of requests to make an app to help Tesla drivers manage energy predictions during road trips. I'm working on it now, but I wanted some input from the Tesla community. I can either make a website designed to run in the car's browser...

    Winter 2015 GTA to Southern US Road Trip

    Hi everyone, I'm taking my family from Port Perry (75km outside of Toronto) to Georgia this coming March (2015). A few months ago I was certain I'd be taking the Model S because I trusted the "coming soon" SuperCharger map. Now that this trip is only 2 months away, and there seems to be no...

    Hello, We'll be having our summer vacation in the US in 2015 and would really like to do a road trip from the west to the east coast with a Model S 85. Is there a rental company that could help us out? I've been in contact with Hertz but that's a no go. We're not complete newbies, having...

    any real-world input on charging vs. driving time for road trips?

    We're doing 3700 miles next week, Raleigh to Palo Alto california. As part of the planning, I'd love to hear some real-world experience on how much "charging time" overhead people experience... in an ICE, I can pretty accurately estimate average speeds and how far I can go in a day. With the...

    road trip help - how to correlate hotels and charging stations

    We're doing a cross-country road trip next week, and one thing I'd love to be able to do is find charging spots (1772's, not really superchargers) in places where we'd be very close to, or at, hotels. This would allow us to save one "supercharge time" per day and also leave each morning with a...
