Road Trip

Last week I took delivery of a new Tesla Model S 75D and I thought, I should take this on a road trip. I wanted to pick a state that I had never been to. Unfortunately I have been to every east coast state and most midwest states. However, after a friend made a joke about Nebraska, I decided on...

Taking my 1st long road trip in my MX100D Seems to me ABetterRoutePlanner has been the simplest and cleanest guide to use to prepare Will be leaving Charlotte, NC - Las Vegas, NV - LA, CA Is there anything I should have the local SC look over prior to leaving or just go and have fun? Any other...

Deze week moest ik op business trip naar ons kantoor in Duitsland. Heb dan van de gelegenheid gebruik gemaakt nog een road trip video te maken en intussen enkele bedenkingen te geven op de tweet van Elon Musk waarin hij zei dat de camera's van de Tesla als dashcam mogelijks gebruikt zouden...

Didn't see this anywhere. If it already exists, point me in the right direction. I would love to see pictures of people's Tesla on a road trip. Here is my baby when we travellled to Clingman's Dome in the Smoky Mountains.

I just came back from a 1300+ miles round trip between Atlanta, GA and Ft. Lauderdale, FL. About 60% of the drive was day time and 40% of the drive was after sunset. My AP HW is 1.0 and SW is 2017.28 c528869. Overall experience was better than a couple shorter trips I had before in an earlier...

I'm waiting on a new custom order MX75D. For the holidays, my wife and I have been talking about potentially driving across country (roughly 2k miles) instead of flying so that we could bring our dog. I've been looking at ev-trip planner and doing more research on people's experiences with...

Just back from our first "real" road trip in our P85 MS - WA to SoCA and back. Adhered to the old adage "Prepare for the worst, hope for the best" in our planning & prep. Packed a cooler with snacks, threw in folding chairs and small table for hanging out while charging, had a printed out...

Title says it all... Friday afternoon = time for a poll. Personally, we'll probably take my spouse's Nissan Murano on road trips because it has considerably more cargo space. I guess we'll see, though - maybe we'll fall so in love with EAP that we wouldn't want to live without it on a long trip.

Car has less than 800 miles and less than 1 month old. We charged the car up to 100 % for the first time in excitement and anticipation on our first Tesla roadtrip from OC to Vegas. We had our charging stops all planned out. Fast forward to the next morning as we were about to leave, the...

Had my first road trip in my model S (2015 P85D). Drove from NYC to Nashville and back to see the eclipse. The drive was great for the most part. Had some extra stops due to range anxiety. Used a blink charging station for the first time. Tried to use an extension cord to charge once which...

For all the serious road trippers and hypermilers out there, I'm wondering how you set up their car for a long road trip? I've been inspired by some folks on the thread who've installed espresso machines in their car, and other seemingly random but ingeniouos setups. How do you all set...

Highway driving total 11 hours in the dark and 5 hours in the light. Max speed 120 km/h. Easy-peasy cleanup! Before trip: 1. Wash and dry car. (Who wants to drive in a dirty car?) 2. Apply Liquid Glass LG-100 Ultimate Auto Polish/Finish. 1000+ reviews...

Long time lurker and figured I'd provide status updates on a journey I'm making from Austin, TX to Baton Rouge, LA tomorrow (Thursday, Aug 31st, 2017). One day after Harvey has mostly left the area. No real choice, and, outside of a rental car, I'm taking the Tesla. I'm starting the journey at...

With all the new charger sites opening in the MD/VA/PA/WV vicinity, what about if we string a few of them together for a ribbon-cutting celebration sometime in the next couple weeks? Right now, Breezewood PA and Grasonville MD are open. Martinsburg WV could come online soon and I know there...

Who's going and where are you coming from? I think I can make it to Florida from New Mexico in ~3 days. Once they announce the launch window if there's a >50% chance of a launch I'll leave for Florida. I have the benefit of currently being self-employed. I spoke to my boss and he's cool with...

So 3 weeks before our trip to see the eclipse, our first road trip in the year we have had our Model S, a branch breaks through the windshield. Safelite and/or the insurance company completely mess up, and it isn't done in time. I rent a Tesla (from a great company in the Boston area, who I...

Trying to plan a solo road trip... Would love some input on optimal route, especially if you are familiar with the routes of these Texas locations, and if any of the superchargers or traffic is to be avoided in the area. It's my first big ass road trip. Please tell me your best advice on how...

I was shooting a video during a road trip and autopilot started constant beeping without the initial warnings... It feels like a bug to me. You can go to around 1'30" directly to see the issue... Shouldn't AP give visual warnings, then single beeps, then double beeps, then the constant beep...

Hoi iedereen, Ik heb dit jaar van onze road trip naar Kroatië en Slovenië een video blog gemaakt (i.p.v. de gewoonlijke tekstuele blogs) We hebben heel wat kilometers gevreten met de Tesla en heel wat mooie zaken gezien. Daarom heb ik de video in 2 delen gesplitst Part 1 - België naar...

Hi all, Forgive me if this post is inappropriate and feel free to flag it into oblivion if it is of no interest. But I've made a video report of our family road trip this year to Croatia and just wanted to share the beauty of it, combined with how we did with the Tesla on our 3rd annual Tesla...

I am receiving my new Model S 75 soon and have been reading a lot about road trip strategies to reduce overall charge times and it seems a bit stressful to calculate it all. Maybe things will change once I do a few long distance road trips on it... My question is - what is the least stressful...

Hi everyone! If there is one group of people I do NOT have to wonder about when it comes to enthusiasm for Teslas it's likely THIS one :-) Just wanted to say hello and that I'm super excited to be joining all of you, my Model S arrives next week. I'm already planning various road trips and I...

Hello all; I don't remember where but I remember reading a calculation about elevation change's effect on your consumption. I think it was a Bjorn video but can't find it now. This is a very simplified and noob calculation (I'm not an engineer so this is all 'internet knowledge') but I would...

An estimated 200 million people living within a day's drive of the path. If there was ever a reason to road trip, this is it. I plan to drive from Chicago to Columbia, Missouri. The supercharger there is in the path of totality. I hope 1000 other owners don't have the same idea.

Last weekend, I drove from the Bay Area to SoCal (Ventura/Oxnard area) and armed with software version 2017.28.c528869 on my (early June delivery) Model S, I did almost the entire trip with AP2. I marveled at how well it did, how smooth it was, and how little I actually drove. I knew I had...

Originally, LAX to NYC Autonomous cross-country road trip was planned for December 2017. However, second quarter earnings phone call hints a possible delay until 2018. I guess it's harder than expected.

Hello everyone. I have been searching futilely for a Tesla brand (not aftermarket) NEMA 10-30 Adapter for purchase for a long time, and I have not been able to secure one yet. In several weeks, I am going on a road trip to Yellowstone National Park. In case we have a charging emergency, I would...

The Ellensburg Supercharger is showing reduced service/closed right now. Has anyone been through there lately? I have several trips through the area coming up in the immediate future, and not having access to Supercharge there will be a big issue. If it's slow that's obviously not a good...

I just went on a short road trip for the first time since getting the Tesla 2 years ago. On a 70D pulling max 230 miles range estimate from Inland Empire, California to Zion National Park. (approx # from memory) I rely on the fact the SuperCharger was operational. From Inland Empire to...

I got my 2015 Model S 60 about 4 months ago and until this weekend I never took it far enough from my house to need to charge on the road. I went to a supercharger and used a destination charger shortly after I got the car just to see how they worked and such, but I didn’t really need the power...

We took a family trip from South Carolina to Port Canaveral in the Tesla. It was a great trip. We stopped at the Santee SC, Savannah GA, Kingsland GA, St Augustine FL, and Port Orange FL superchargers. The St Augustine stop was in the shade in the morning with tons of shopping available it was...

Hello all, I will chronicle my experience in case it helps someone in the future. I am planning a road trip from Toronto Canada, to Casper Wyoming. I will spend a week there for the Adventure Racing World Championships. Much of that will be on dirt roads (or worse) in an area already devoid of...

Hi all, I'm going to be taking my first road trip in my 75D MS. We're going from Walnut Creek to Cambria for a few days and then to Marina (near Monterey) before heading home. Any recommendations on routes to take/super charging strategy/any tips or advice for MS road trips/etc would be...

Departing Woodstock on S75 fully charged. Destination is near the Ann Arbor Supercharger. Is it better to cross the border through Windsor or Sarnia? Travel time is almost the same. Just curious what border has less waiting time to cross to USA. Arriving at the border Friday noon. Thanks

i have head my Model X for about 3 months and took my first long range road trip from Bristow, VA (about 40 miles west of D.C.) to the South side of Chicago. Took about 15 1/2 hours each way with 4 Supercharger stops each way. Luckily there was a Supercharger about 7 miles from our hotel so I...

Dear Forum, We are planning a road trip from The Netherlands to England, Scotland and Wales in the second half of August. The area south of Edinburgh seems to be well covered with Superchargers, but we also would like to do a Scotland tour: Edinburgh - Oban - Isle of Mull - Fort Willam - Isle...

As I was about to drive home, closed my driver's door and as it latches, it pops out again. Display shows door as open. Tried to open and close with touchscreen but still wouldn't latch properly. Had to slam the door a few times in order to close properly. When I got home, everything was working...

Hi guys! I wasn't very active at all on TMC (I spent my time on Tesla's own forum a while ago) but I am a long time Tesla owner. I am planning a long road trip (~4500 km with side-trips) with my family this upcoming August (rough plan is to start Aug 4th afternoon). Roughly I'd like something...

We will be driving from Orlando to Knoxville in a few days, it will be our first real road trip in our 100D Model X. Charging looks pretty straightforward. We are planning on starting early in the morning with a 100% charge, then stopping in Tifton, GA if we can make it (256 miles), or Lake...

I know to charge it to 100% before the road trip but do I leave it on 100% during the road trip and change it back to 90% once I get back home? Thanks

Since the focus of these trips isn't really the car, but the company and its relationship with the community, either in the Tesla Owners Club program that we help organize for Orange County or in terms of the Annual Meeting this year, which is Phase 3... I figured that this forum would be the...

Friends, I am picking up my new Model S75 on Thursday. I am planning to celebrate the car and Father's day with a road trip to Carlsbad to visit Legoland with a friend and our two 5 YO boys. Any tips? What SC's should I visit. We are going to stay on Friday night and Saturday night at the...

1st Road Trip in the S from Wash Dc to Hilton Head SC with the Family next week. Any suggestions on the following: 1. Any interior storage for back seats - my kids will need some for books and stuff? Something that could be used on back of front seats likes pouches would be useful 2...

Just got home from a bucket list road trip in my P100D. Spent 1 month circumnavigating the lower 48 visiting friends, family and interesting places. Car performed flawlessly, driver and road conditions less so. General comments: Never any range anxiety, often bladder anxiety. Only waited once...

Has anyone driven their Model X up Mt. Washington? I did a bunch of searches and only found people who have done it on the S. Specifically, is the X too wide? Thanks.

Dear all, I am planning a road trip from Oslo to the Northcape. Looking around for rental options with not a lot of success. Any ideas? Also what would you suggest logistically once we arrive up north for returning the car, without having to drive back all the way to the south (or even many...

I'm considering driving out to LA in July. I actually live right outside NYC in New Jersey. I've got the trip planned through EV Trip Planner but have a couple of questions and if anyone has any road tripping advice please share. First, I have a 60 (upgradeable to 75). In EV Trip Planner I...

Hello everybody, This summer we are taking a road trip from Los Angeles in our X60D. We are planning to be away for 8-ish days. We want to go to Jackson WY, and then go to Yellowstone for a night or two and stay in West Yellowstone MT, where there is a supercharger. Does anybody have any trip...

I live in Orlando and my parents are in Albany, NY while my brother lives in Washington, DC. I'm debating driving up from florida sometime this summer to visit the family. I just got my 2015 model S about 2 months ago, so this would be my first long distance trip with that car. My kids are...

Hi everyone, I'm planning a road trip from South Rim of Grand Canyon back to San Diego and would appreciate any advice needed for this return trip. The outbound trip is already planned through Vegas, Page (AZ) with plenty of time for stops/charging. This is my first trip and am planning the...
