Road Trip

I have two Model S, one 2014 S85 and one 2017 S75 (both are RWD). I designated the S85 as my road trip car since it had a slightly larger battery and free supercharging. However, with the recent free supercharging changes, my S75 now also has free supercharging, so the choice of which car to...

This is part 1;)

Planning to go on my first decent length road trip in my Tesla next month. Initially from Portland, Vic. to Bribie Island in Queensland to visit relations, then all going well, venture north to Port Douglas and the Daintree. A common thought would be to take a spare wheel, which I don't...

I just got back from a ~850 mile trip in my new Model S 75D, from Denver, CO to Custer, SD, and around Mt Rushmore and the nearby sights. The vast majority of these miles were done with Autopilot (aside from the iron mountain road and needles highway, which are narrow twisty local roads). To...

Hi guys, We're planning our first road trip on our Model S this weekend from San Jose to Lava bed, crater lake, Portland and seattle. Will be camping half of the way. Some last minute request if anyone is nice enough to lend us their UMC adapters and/or chademo adapters (just in case). This...

I'm looking to take a road trip from the the PA/NJ/NY area to Toronto or Montreal this summer. Has anyone done the drive? I'm kind of curious to what happens with the internet connectivity. Do the superchargers in canada work the same in terms of open access, idle billing, etc.? Thanks,

I'm currently working on taking road trips to each supercharger in Texas. I see there about a dozen threads dedicated to different superchargers already :-) The inspiration was the increasingly vague directions to the superchargers. The ones I've been to so far have been on private property...

I am planning to take my 4+ year old 56k mile Model S on a road-trip across the country this summer. It has been a dream of mine since I got the car, back when we really didn't believe Elon was going to actually be able to follow through on the Super Charger promise. Along the way I am having...

For some reason the Model X attracts bug like heck. On every road trip I have my whole front splattered with bugs. Even if I drive around LA there is a few bugs on the front within a few days of washing. Have you guys experienced the bug invasion of your front bumper. Here is a pic of Yosemite...

I'm planning my first road trip from the US to Canada next weekend. My plan is to cross in to Ontario via the Peace Bridge. I'll be staying several days in the Niagara Region and charge at least once at the Grimsby, ON SC. Is there anything Tesla related that I need to plan for or be aware of...

I am planning a trip with most of my family and possibly some friends to see the total solar eclipse in August. The plan is currently set for Kuttawa, KY, where we would spend two nights at the hotel hosting the supercharger and very likely observe it there as well. The drive should be about 14...

We are on our first road trip with the Model X. The car is a pleasure on a long drive. The 6 seat config really comes into its own on a trip an the kids loved hanging out back there. Although I miss The 22" rims every time I look at the car, I really appreciated the ride quality on this trip...

This afternoon we are heading from Toronto to North Bay, which is 307 km. Technically we should be able to get there on one full charge in our X 90D. But we're gonna make stops at the Barrie and Huntsville superchargers anyways. I've never been to one so looking forward to it. If anyone is...

For my 100th post on TMC, I'd like share my thoughts and lessons learned from our recent 2,170-mile trip between Chicago and Oklahoma with our 6-month-old S 90D (AP1). Trip Planning As suggested by many other experienced EV drivers, I did some careful pre-trip planning using a few different...

I am contemplating a road trip in an MX 90D in the next few weeks. I have checked with various trip planners and don’t foresee any problems. I would appreciate it if anyone has any comments or suggestions re the section from Macon through Augusta to Asheville. Thanks.

I plan to update this thread as I notice things on my trip, but figured I make a thread to begin my observations. First off, the range on the S60 is VERY limited in actual highway conditions. I'm taking a 277 mile trip, and I noticed that I can barely make it 130 miles before I'm at about 5%...

Family road trip, so far we're planning on staying at great wolf lodge (Mason OH) but they have no charging there. I don't know how to not 'lose' a night of charging. One of the issues I'm having is finding hotels to stay at. It seems difficult to search for value/charging/amenities. Really...

Hello everyone. We are welcoming a our new X100D to our family by the end of the month. We are planning on a 1 week road trip from Bay Area, CA to Joshua Tree, Zion, and then back. It will be me, my life partner, and our two daughters (ages 10, 12). Everyone is really looking forward to it...

Hei guys, in my last roadtrip from Kolari to Nordkapp i decided to record the trip in a video. This was 100% inspired by Teslabjørn's roadtrips. I hope you enjoy it If you are going there this video also gives you advice and tips on how to get there in a Tesla.

This summer, I'm moving from Washington, DC to Palmdale, CA. I'll be driving the whole way in a relatively straight shot over the course of a week or so. I've done a few road trips in my Model S ('13 P85), longest being TX to DC, so I'm familiar with trip planning, destination charging...

I'm about to take my first long road trip in my S60. (Florida to Connecticut). I've planned the whole route on multiple route planners (A Better Route Planner, EV Planner, etc.), with stops at hotels with chargers, etc. Here's my question. Do I essentially ignore the on-board route planner...

Bonjour, je suis nouveau sur TMC. Je travaille sur plusieurs projets liés au VE et notamment pour une société de location qui loue des Tesla model S et model X. J'exploite moi-même un model S que je loue sur la zone de Biarritz et Bayonne. Par ailleurs j'organise un nouveau road trip qui...

Hi all, I thought I'd share our road experience from this past weekend. I feel like we encountered some of the inherently "worst" stuff about Teslas (and electric cars) during the trip, but it wasn't too bad so I thought I'd share and let everyone judge for themselves. The road trip wasn't...

Has anyone taken the trip from the Las Vegas area to Mt. Charleston NV? I believe it's mostly uphill.. Any charger stations available? It's about 40miles from the strip...

Hi, I will be in D.C with my family this summer for a few weeks thus I will need a car and a place to rent (possibly with Tesla charging). I have a Model X 90D but driving from SoCal to DC may not be feasible, I never exceeded a 500 mile road trip in any car (ICE/Tesla). Option 1: Does Tesla...

If you had a spare tire, would you carry it? I have a full size rim and tire that I took off my car. I'm going to make a trip to San Antonio later this week coming from Dallas. I always carry a compressor and a nail repair kit. Spare will fit in the frunk but there is no tools to...

Hi everyone the forum. We are planing a big trip to Disney Land in FL. Here is what we are working with! 2016 60D X Starting point is Windham ME Destination is Disney in FL Mid April departure Half way rest stop at hotel We have never driven down to FL before any advice would be...

Last year we drove from Sydney to the Gold Coast by charging fully at Port Macquarie and topping up overnight at Coffs Harbour. The full charge at Port Macquarie took over an hour but we were having lunch so that worked well. Now we're planning the same trip again over Easter but this time...

I'm sure some members have done this. I have a 75D with 22s. Realistically how many times did you have to charge? Thanks!

Map of the route Speed Limit According to plugshare, there are public chargers very near both ends of the Natchez Trace. According to Tesla's website, a 100D can travel 468 miles at 50mph and 70 degrees without climate control. This would be a great drive for someone to attempt without...

Ons volgende roadtrip avontuur staat weer op de rails... De route staat op papier en de hotels en de boten zijn gereserveerd en een logo is gecreëerd... België - Engeland -Wales - Engeland - schotland - Engeland- België 8 dagen en in totaal ongeveer 2800 km of 1740 Miles van 16 july 2017 tot 24...

Misschien herinneren jullie je nog het initiatief, gelanceerd door John Timmer, om in aanvulling op de eerdere roadtrips een meerdaagse trip te organiseren voor gezinnen met kinderen. Vandaag is e.e.a. rond gekomen. We hebben voor de inmiddels ingeschreven (vier) deelnemende gezinnen een...

We have a road trip coming up in a few weeks (Chicago to Oklahoma). Even though there are enough Superchargers along the way, I was wondering if I should still get an account with the public charging networks, just in case we miscalculated our remaining charge during the trip. If you think it's...

I'm planning a 3 days tour trip to SF from Orange county via the stunning PCH, did anyone has experience on which hotel to stay, or which SC to stop by? It seems that besides the coast view, there are some places that worth visiting, like the hearst castle. Traveling with children so want to...

In my month-old 75D Model X, I finally took the family on a roadtrip, using many of California's superchargers in the process, playing with the current features of Autopilot and Autosteer in the process. Here is a summary of my observations: 1. Supercharger anxiety. This is different from range...

Hello all: I'm a few minutes away from leaving for my longest Japanese road trip yet. Follow along at: Tesla in Japan

I have a ski trip planned up to Whistler in March and I just have a few questions about crossing the border with a Tesla. 1. Will the ATT service in the car still work? I searched a bit on the forums about this. The few old threads I found seemed to say that for a while the service did not...

Hi all. I'm planning a road trip. One that will save me potentially £1400-£1800 in flight costs at half term. The trip is London to Megève France. There are some nicely placed superchargers along the route, but when I plan it on ev tripplanner, there is about 4 hours total charging time for the...

Looking at planning a family road trip from just north of Toronto to Key West, primarily planning to go down 75 via the 401 to Detroit and return up 95 etc to come back through either Watertown or Buffalo. First question, can anyone share their experience(s)? While I've certainly met lots of...

Picked up my Model S in Denver as the last car of the day on December 20, and drove it home the next morning -- 350 miles to Southwest Colorado, over the Rockies. Spent the next week packing up, and 2 days after Christmas hit the road ...to Seattle, Portland, the SF Bay Area (with a side trip...

Hi everyone, I am driving from LA-Yosemite on Saturday. I heard there are snow chains restrictions and by law I have to have chains in my possession. I don't want to spread $500 on chains from Tesla if I am only going to use them once. What do you guys recommend I do? Should I just buy cheap...

The dream has happened. After quite a journey, I now own a beautiful Model S. I had been watching the market relentlessly, with HUGE help of EV-CPO of course. After nearly a year of considering, budgeting, and debating we called Alliant and were approved for financing. We gave the $1000 deposit...

I just picked up my x90 before Christmas and having been thoroughly enjoying it around southern Mn. So far I've done short trips of about 100 miles round trip. My son has a college visit scheduled in northern wi and the weather is supposed to be about 0 f for the daytime high. The college is...

We just completed our first roadtrip in our 60D we picked up December 16th. I wanted to provide some helpful tips and feedback to other users who are thinking of doing roadtrips during the cold months in the Midwest with limited charging options. Our trip total length each way was 286 miles...

Took our first road trip last week in our MS60. Hit up the Superchargers in Woodburn and Centralia both going to Tacoma and coming back home. Superchargers worked great and was much faster then my wife and I were expecting. One thing that was a little bit of an issue was the .40/minute idle...

Rather than write my review up in more than one place, I've written it on my blog. I'm sure the veterans know all what I've written, but if you're interested, have a look: Tesla Model S P85+: Two-Year Review

Dear friends I need some advice. I am a relatively new owner of a Model S. Its the most fabulous vehicle I've ever owned but I have to be honest, as I am planning a road trip from Michigan to Toronto, it is giving me a bit of anxiety. Rather lots of it. I have researched this topic extensively...

I am picking up my Model X 90D Tuesday and thinking about immediately heading out to Maine from Montana. I have a few concerns. One, is it smart to commit to such a long trip on a brand new Tesla before I've had a chance to really find out if everything is going to work? Two, obviously it...
