Road Trip

Hey all, I'm trying to put together an informal drive up Mount Evans for all interested. I've never driven up this mountain before but it's known as The Highest Paved Road in North America. We'll be using a lot of power to get up but think of how much you will get back going down! Afterwards...

Hey everybody, I've got an opportunity to go to one of these events, it's only 15 minutes north. I've ordered a Model 3 and test driven, but my sister who has also ordered a Model 3 hasn't even been inside a Tesla yet. She's interested but we're not really sure what these road trip events...

This is with a Leaf. tl;dr taking his Leaf instead of his Prius doubled his trip time because of the charging stops. 1,000-mile Nissan Leaf electric-car road trip in the Northeast: are we there yet? Tier-1 problems: They all charge too slowly. 50kw is not even close enough. Battery size...

My wife, son and I took a day trip on Saturday to Waco, Texas to meet my best friend, who lives in Austin and who I haven’t seen in a while. Waco is about halfway between Dallas and Austin. On the wife’s request, we went to Magnolia Market to hang out, eat some food truck food, and let the kid...

I've attempted to write this once already, and this is my second attempt. I will try not to be too verbose or "poetic." I will try not to use metaphors and apologies in remark to this cars speed, or attempt to bring to life a collection of metal and plastic in a way that would treat this...

So who is going to Key West on July 22 ?

I'm planning to take my family on an American Southwest road trip this summer that will take us through famous Monument Valley, a place I've never been before. Presuming there is no rain, is it safe to (slowly) drive my Model S on the 17-mile scenic drive in Monument Valley? Looking at the...

Hi everybody. We are Silke, Rolf and Kye "wuff". We are on our trip across Canada from Victoria to St. John's Newfoundland with our Model X towing a camping trailer. We will be posting here about our experiences, or provide links to our videos and blog posts.

i just ordered a model S 60. I have one concern and that's the range. I am 95 percent a local driver where range will not be an issue. I'm concerned and think maybe I should modify to a 75 before my week runs out though. I live in DC. I recently drove my Taurus Sho to Louisville to visit my...

Nothing is planned in our state or even in a neighboring one. :( Anyone here planning to go afar for this? (I'm planning on Avon since I have a timeshare there.)

I have a road trip scheduled from Orange County, CA to SF (San Francisco). I am aware that many have taken this trip without an issue but I just want some questions answered as this will be my first Tesla road trip. This is my supercharger plan: Home to Buttonwillow, CA (165 miles) = 30...

I took a little mini road trip yesterday and a bit the day before (about 450 miles). We left home in the Sierra foothills east of Sacramento with 80% SOC in our 90D. It was just the two of us. Weather was warm but not hot so no real AC load. There were some good head and cross winds around...

So I'm taking my first road trip today. A weird thing came up today that I don't understand... I'm on my third of four scheduled stops. So I have about 90 miles till my next stop and about another 100 till the final destination yet the trip calculator in the Tesla asked me to charge at this...

I'm tentatively leaving Massachusetts (7/15) for a leisurely drive through some family/friends stops to be in Reno 7/27... Currently looking at stops in VA, then TN, and then no plans through NV. Anyone else going that way - or meet up along the way? :-)

Need some advice from some seasoned owners. I am picking up my MS 90D tomorrow... can't wait. I need to take a road trip next week, from Orange County up to Reno, NV, for my son's baseball tournament - 4 days in Reno. I can either drive my new Tesla, which I take delivery on tomorrow or my other...

I have been getting more into shooting some videos lately. Here is a time lapse of a 2 hour drive from St George to Primm. It was part of a longer road trip. I drove pretty fast so i ended up using more energy as originally estimated. As I find time I will be posting more videos on my YouTube...

Its road trip season. Let's see how many Model X owners have already done road trips (more than 100 miles from home) and how many of us are planning for some.

Yes - I'm seriously thinking about this so I thought I'd start a new thread. As with my previous two road trips I'll ask if anyone has any ideas/suggestions/etc (even if it's "Don't do it!") would you please submit them. They were invaluable last time. I'll post the plan as soon as I have a...

Hey guys, First roadtrip in the model S starting Monday morning (June 27th) with my girlfriend Mimi :) We're planning a bit more than 4000kms (+2500miles) starting from home, North of Montreal. We'll be stopping in a few superchargers along the way (obviously...) if any of you want to meet...

Making this a collection of various Model X road trip related threads and will request the mods to make it a sticky thread. First road trip in your MX Ten days and 1,800 miles with my 90D My 3600 Mile Model X Journey Model X Long-Range Report: Denver to Dallas (About 900 miles) in 1 Day EV...

I'll be driving a Model S on an 800-900-mile trip in the next few weeks and I will want to keep my travel time as short as possible. Obviously, I'm going to have to spend a significant amount of time at Superchargers. So here's the question: do I stop at every Supercharger along the way and top...

Hello, planning to tow my boat , about 3000lbs from SF Bay Area to Tahoe this summer in a Model X 90D. Anyone have any such experience?The only iffy part of the journey is from supercharger from Rocklin to Truckee supercharger where it's 80 miles apart. But I think it an up and down hill drive...

My wife and I took a road trip from Massachusetts down to Sterling, VA, for an overnight, then to Harrisonburg, VA where we stayed several days, then up to Ithaca, NY where we stayed several days before heading home. Earlier this year we took a trip up to Montreal and Quebec City coming home...

2016 85D. Now with 5,800 miles ODO. Last few weeks I traveled from Saint Petersburg Florida, to Franklin Tennessee, to Novi Michigan. My return trip took me through Canada to northern New Jersey, then back to Florida. Total electricity used- Just over one megawatt-hour. Trip total 3445.3...

I've been a fan of mochouinard's Tesla Headwind Estimator for a long time. However, a problem is that the app relies on another web site to obtain the wind data, and that web site (and all others like it) will charge you if you obtain weather information from them too often. mochouinard ran...

Morgen vertrekken we met vier auto's, Model S, voor een trip die via Oostenrijk, de Italiaanse meren en Zwitserland, ons via wederom Oostenrijk maandag terug naar Nederland brengt. Vanwege logistieke redenen, niet iedereen kan vroeg in de ochtend, vertrekken we met twee equipes, de eerste rond...

Hello Midwest Tesla owners/enthusiasts. And a special shout-out to Wisconsinites! Our Chicago Tesla owners club is planning a visit to the Harley Davidson museum in Milwaukee on Saturday, June 18th with several opportunities to join the daily activities. As always we welcome the opportunity to...

Was using 450+ Wh/mi driving at 80-85 mph on I-5 in CA over the weekend. Wonder what's the most optimum speed vs. time (energy) combination?

Anyone ever done a Route 66 Road Trip using Superchargers? Or does anyone have an idea on the best way to get a list of closest Superchargers along the way? -J

i just picked up my new (refreshed) model s 70d today and am beyond thrilled. i wanted to ask you experienced tesla road-trippers if there's anything specific i should know about taking this beauty beyond the border? my family and i plan on driving from chicago to toronto and then eventually...

For Canadians and non-Imperial-system, multiply your km by .62

HI - Just want to share with everyone our blog as we travel in our MX from Arizona into the Pacific NW. Tesla Model X Blog Looking forward to being here in the TMC!

So I finally took the plunge and am picking up a privately sold 2015 85D. Super excited to officially be able to join the Tesla club (not just be a sidelines member). I'm a big fan of road trips and because I have to be in the state that the car is (actually I'll be about 40 miles away for...

Helaas is bij mij het Road Trip virus vastgesteld. Voor nu zit er niets anders op dan veel rijden... Nieuwe Road Trip in een notendop: in het weekend van 9 en 10 juli een ritje door de Ardennen, verblijf in Luxembourg en vervolgens via de Eifel weer terug. Ik heb een group deal gemaakt bij het...

The discussion about what is better comes up a lot here. On road trips, is it faster to charge more and skip a Supercharger, or stop at each Supercharger and just charge as much as you need? The simple answer is: It's almost always faster overall to use every Supercharger than trying to skip...

I couldn't find a specific thread to this and thought it would be cool to share some of the road trips we have done in our MS. This can also be helpful to all those wanting to road trip to the national parks getting ideas and or pointers of what others have experienced. Heres one we did to Bryce...

So my wife and I have decided to take a drive to Universal this summer from NJ. Sort of a silly thought came into my head...how will I keep my car clean while on the road? I'm picturing bugs splattered all over my nosecone. Does anyone know of any products that would help me keep it clean...

Hi guys, The wife and I are planning a road trip to Maine with our dog. We are planning on leaving from the NYC area and traveling as far north as Bar harbor (Planning to stop at the Augusta SC). Has anyone made this drive? and if so any suggestions? on stops along the way? Thanks in...

Beste allemaal, Mede door het Tesla virus ben ik ook gegrepen door road trips. Een mooi excuus om extra kilometers op de teller te zetten. Zoals de 1-daagse trip naar Eifel. Maar ook de anderhalve week naar Noorwegen in september 2015 heb ik echt als episch ervaren. Ik denk nog regelmatig aan...

Beginning this Friday can you (or someone you know) free yourself up for 9 days and put your Model S to the ultimate driving dynamics test by competing in the 33rd Brock Yates' One Lap of America? I'm in a bind to say the least. I have an entry in this years' One Lap of America for a Model S...

Has anyone else considered what might be the first serious road trip they'll take in their MX (assuming that's something that's interesting to you)? For some reason, the longer the X takes to reach me, the longer my trip seems to stretch. It'll be work convincing the family of this duration...

Op 19 december deden we het al eens: een rondje Eifel in Duitsland. Inmiddels heb ik een andere Tesla dus die moet echt even ontgroend worden met een roadtrip. Doel is wederom de Duitse Eifel. Niet zo zeer voor de Autobahn (ja, die is ook leuk), maar juist ook voor de bochtjes en de mooie...

I am hoping to get my Model X within the next 10 weeks or so. I am hoping to take some road trips with it. EV planner is awesome for this but I am never sure what model to put in. A model X 90D can do less mileage than a 90D but would it be closer to a 85D or a 75D and what wheels should I...

The next RT plan is shaping up - couple of probs - main one is - I will be passing through Adelaide on one day but will not have enough charge to make my destination - can anyone advise of the fastest/best/most reliable way to top up charge in Adelaide?

TL;DR: I took the plunge and with planning, preparation, and a lot of learning from reading these forums, I was able to get through my first road trip without any real range anxiety. Thanks TMC! I took delivery of my 2015 S85 on April 1st, and I've already added over 1000 miles on the odometer...

I have entered a MS in the Brock Yates’ One Lap of America (f.k.a. The Cannonball Run) which will be held this year from April 30th thru May 7th. My co-driver and I have competed in this event for many years since 2000. Now that there are more than 250 SC stations across the U.S., the time is...

Hello all! We're planning a very long road trip, Chicago to Orlando. I'm very nervous. We've never taken a long road trip like this to begin with, let alone with the X. What are some tips? Has anyone ever run out of charge? Do you follow all the stops for charging on the map? What are ways to...
