Road Trip

Has anyone tried pulling an Airstream trailer or any type of trailer with their Model S? If so, what size? And what weight? By what margins did it affect the battery?

Hi all, I'm soon to be getting my hands on a S90D of my own. Currently I have a 2011 Leaf with about 18kWh of useful energy. To me an epic journey is heading out 100kms past the last certain charger and hoping I find a friendly cafe owner who'll let me plug in. The best one so far was heading...

Last night, I went to a magnificent private Model 3 revealing at Century City mall showroom, here in LA, prior to the public displaying today. We were welcomed with champagne and a ton of hors d’oeuvres. After some significant lubrication and conversation with multiple educated Tesla...

Going to a nephews' wedding in Hobart on the 25th so I thought it would be a good excuse for our first real road trip. We will be driving to Melbourne from Potts Point on Saturday the 20th leaving early but how early? Google maps quotes a door to door trip time of 9 hours so I am predicting 12...

A random thought came in my mind. What is the community's opinion on asking to charge at a friend's or family member home? I personally think a lot of people would assume it would run their electric bill sky house (my parents thought so at first lol) So I wanted everyone else's opinion of it.

Upon owning my first Tesla for about a week now, I have found the supercharger network to be one of my favorite aspects of the experience! Although it takes substantially longer to do road trips, for some reason it feels like less! I assume this is due to the cleanliness and great ambience of...

Just took our 3 week old Model X on a local road trip in Southern California. Before starting out, we charged the car to 100%; mileage range reading 295 miles. We drove the car 238 miles and returned home with 37 miles left on the battery - meaning battery range is about 275 miles. We averaged...

I will be embarking on a road trip back to Michigan from Marina Del Ray in two days I want to share my experiences with others along the way. I will be posting my route in a day using abetterrouteplanner.com Please follow on: @model3roadtrip • Instagram photos and videos Check out...

Just completed our first real road trip in my MS90d. We had down a shorter trip that required one stop round trip but this was the first with multiple stops. Trip was from Elkridge, MD to Isle of Palms SC. Total miles was 1600 at and avg 345kw. This includes daily driving while in the...

I know I put this into an existing thread, but think this may deserve it's own thread. A couple of guys are doing a road trip to show the Model 3, and is expected to arrive at Tesla Lawrence on Thursday January 4th at 8pm. It is highly recommended to RSVP. They claim they are expecting over 200...

About to depart Sydney for a road trip in my Model S. Here goes....

As some of you may know, a fellow named You You Xue is driving his Model 3 across the country, and he is scheduled to stop in several New England locations tomorrow (January 2nd). This is a great chance to see the Model 3 up close if you haven't already (and most of us here in New England have...

I was at the Edison NJ meet and greet stop for You You Xue’s Model 3 road trip last night. More info on the road trip can be found here: Tesla Model 3 Road Trip About an inch of snow had fallen earlier in the day and one of the parking lots by the supercharger was not plowed, so they decided to...

Ik ben mijn reis van NL naar Portugal aan het plannen die voor de komende dagen op het schema staat, daarom een hotel gemaild die 2 laadplekken heeft. Krijg ik eerst gesteggel over de prijs (duurder dan via websites, voorgeteld rechtstreeks want dan geen commissie maar blijkbaar verdienen ze...

Hello All, I'm planning on buying a Tesla Model X to replace our Audi Q5 family car in 2018 Q1. I have some concerns and questions, and I hope some of you can help me with making a decision. My wife owns a VW eGolf, and I absolutely love this car along with my Q5. The plan is to replace both...

Purchased a CPO S85 last week, and the entire premise was to be able to use AutoPilot on our 625 MA to VA and back Christmas adventure. The weather appears to be less than cooperative, but there is a window of opportunity if we leave around 3am. I'm using the Dashboard app to "smart charge" the...

Thanks @RiverBrick for update. Can you maybe add the photos on this server please? After checking SuC map, there was no mention of a Baie-Saint-Paul Supercharger. Malbaie is the only one that would be anywhere near BSP.

I just ordered my Model S a week or so ago. I am pretty stoked about getting my first Tesla and have really enjoyed reading all of the posts on this forum by all of you who have Teslas and are kind enough to share your experiences. I have learned a lot! So, I am thinking I will be doing some...

Let’s take our minds off whether or not we will be the next person to receive an email to configure their Model 3. Wanted to get some feedback and at the same time maybe let off a little steam. Consider this one a little on the side of the glass half empty. I read a Tweet recently that really...

Hello, I have a set of new 19" Goodyear Eagle Touring tires for sale that came off of a 2017 Tesla Model S. These have about 100 miles on them at most. Tire date is 2017. Asking $450 for them, local pick up. Thanks.

I took a road trip from Bay Area to Vancouver BC (and Whistler) and back during Thanksgiving week and here are some notes from the trip. Sorry for the long post, but hopefully someone will find something useful from these notes for their trip. Trip stats: Model S75RWD Sept 2017 build with 19...

Just returned from a round trip from Crescent City, California to Moab, Utah. A couple of terrifying events took place, and I wanted to share them, with the hope that it might save some members from similar events. My key fob had stopped working, and since I had purchased a dealer demo, they...

View attachment 265119 On Thanksgiving day my wife and I started our long Journey from Las Vegas, NV to St Matthews, SC to pick up and tow home our new 2 person 18' travel trailer. The journey took us across the USA on I-40 and we ended up returning on I-10 out of Jacksonville, Florida to Baton...

Ordered my car when I got the email. I completed my order and filled out all the items needed to complete on the MyTesla page. They say we will reach out to you to schedule delivery. I still am skeptical for some reason that my order hasn't gone through even though it has. Anyone here gotten...

Goedemorgen, Gisteren hebben wij onze eerste en nieuwe MS 75D opgehaald uit Tilburg. Mooie belevenis zoals jullie al weten. In februari gaan wij voor het eerst op een lange trip. Wij gaan naar Grindelwald. In beide opzichten spannend. Lang geleden op de ski’s gestaan. Wij rijden midden...

My car (S85) is currently at the service center for limiting power on extended drives (30+ min) even with high SOC and ~70 degree F weather. Anytime I floor the car after driving on the highway for extended periods, I get an instant yellow dotted line that limits power which quickly disappears...

Utah police recover stolen Teslas, including one driven by a man claiming to be a 'Tesla' From "weird news today". Weist claimed he had "a bag of keys" and a Tesla car he "wanted to return." Keller said Weist also claimed to be a Tesla family member. After impounding the vehicle, police...

Well as the title states, I'm exactly one week out from delivery of my MS75. The car is ready to go at the Raleigh SC, I fly up on Dec. 1st. Time could not be going ANY slower! Stay tuned for a delivery thread, and in a few weeks an east coast road trip! FL --> NYC ;)

Hoping to share the experience with everyone to have more references to go from when going on road trips with their Model X. Just wanted to post an update and current situation.

Hi everyone, My name's Alistair and I'm a freelance tech and automotive journalist. Next weekend, I'll be heading from London to the Scottish Highlands in a Model S 100D borrowed from Tesla's PR division. I've driven several Teslas before, S and X, have used Superchargers etc. But I've not...

I've taken countless road trips in my Model S. Aprox 85k miles (of my total of 136k) were all long road trips using Superchargers. Before every road trip I plan it using mostly EVTripplanner.com. I juist want to get an idea of the whole trip. I don't expect it to be very accurate. This weekend...

Have had my new MS75 for about 2 weeks and just completed a 900 mile road trip from LA area to Prescott, AZ (and back). It was a great drive and the car performed very well, even on some rutted dirt and sand roads that looked like normal streets on the GPS (air suspension a big help). Here are...

I am planning a road trip from CA to TX on my tesla X. 75 battery. I have it mapped out with the supercharger stops in the car. Can I rely on the mileage that the car is recommending. When I drive to Joshua Tree- uphill - I use way more energy than the car expects, so I am afraid that the car...

$200K+ for a sports car is hard to justify based on any practical merits. But, here's a shot at it: Just look at how much you can save on fuel costs using the electric Roadster as your daily driver and road trip vehicle versus your gas guzzling Bugatti. The savings could actually amortize the...

I am a happy owner of a new M75D. Great car! I am having one concern, however. Less than two weeks after delivery, I took a inaugural road trip. The first day, I was driving up a freeway in Northern California and suddenly the tire pressure alarm came on. I pulled over and a tire was flat...

Not sure if this is the proper section of the forum for this, so correct me if I'm wrong please!! (new here..) Basically I'll be flying 900 miles from Florida to Raleigh, North Carolina to take delivery of my Model S 75 w/ premium leather interior and AP2. I'll be driving back to Florida, then...

Last weekend I had an aikido seminar to go to in Germany and a 7 hour drive to get there. So, I used this opportunity to test out the new camper mode along the way. Turns out it's working great, as long as you don't forget to turn off the alarm before it wakes you up ;-) Time to break out the...

I have a lastminute roadtrip from Irvine, CA to Scottsdale, AZ in the afternoon. I plan to stop at Indio, CA and Quartzsite, AZ for supercharging. Probably charge to 160 miles at each supercharger. Is there anything I should take into account, weather(wind), elevation?? Thanks! I only drove...

How easy is it do do a trip from SF to LA along highway 1 in a Model X 75D using only superchargers to charge?

I took my Model S 75 on its first longer trip this weekend, driving from SF to LA and back along 101. It's such a pleasure driving with autopilot. It only tried to kill me once by steering directly into the side of a semi truck cab I was passing. (It's done this before too -- I think it's...

A thread dedicated to tips and best practices on how to best use autopilot! Can also include areas to avoid using autopilot. This is for all versions 1, 2, 2.5, M3...

We are going on a road trip from San Francisco to Vancouver Canada during Thanksgiving week. - Since Model S does not has a lot of interior storage, what do you guys recommend I get before the trip for storage? A backpack, seat back organizer (any recommendations?), just the trunk space without...

Hello all, wonder if anyone has the same issue. I am planning a road trip from Toronto to Florida, This will be the first road trip for me and the family and also the first in our tesla MX 75D. I have experimented with the Route Planners online and have a decent idea of where the 30+ Hours ride...

Have a brand new 75D and while driving from south Florida to Kansas City and back on two occasions the AC stops cooling (fan still blowing) just for a few minutes, then kicks back on. Anyone experienced this and what do you suggest is the cause?

I want to upgrade to a new Tesla and I'd like it to be the ultimate road trip car. Here are some obvious things I want to maximize and what that means for my choice: - range S100D. - passenger space Perhaps the X would be better for this? Maybe the 7-seat configuration? - cargo space...

Hello, I have been informed that a new supercharger location will begin construction soon. Can someone local please check this address? 4401 S. Laburnum Ave, Richmond, VA @BlueShift for visibility.

I have it on good authority there is a supercharger being installed soon in Owen Sound. Can someone local please check this address: 170 Thom Dr. Owen Sound, N4K 5N7 Thanks! @BlueShift for visibility.

I can read and calculate all I want, but nothing competes with experience, so maybe I could ask for some advice? I'm going from my home in West Kelowna, BC to my mother's house in Abbotsford, BC... a trip of 312km but that's through very high mountains and at relatively high speeds (120kph...
