Road Trip

Ik heb contact met 2 toekomstige Model X signature eigenaren die niet zo actief zijn op dit forum. Daarbij het idee geopperd om in September (= veilige aanname dat ze er dan al zijn?) een kleine roadtrip richting Alpen / Monaco of evt. Noorwegen (en dan aan te sluiten op n grotere groep) te...

First major road trip in years. It's amazing how this car affects your enthusiasm to drive. Take off Monday 28/3 Leg 1 Melb - Gundagai - stay night Leg 2 Gundagai - Sydney - stay 2 nights (catch up son & friends) Leg 3 Sydney - Port Macquarie (destin. charger) - stay night (trip planned before...

Buyers who place a Gen II Lighted Rear Applique order before May 13, 2016 will qualify for a drawing for a refund prize to be made at the Williamsburg, Virginia Tesla Road Trip on Saturday, May 14. Names of buyers will be randomly drawn at a special dinner event that evening. If we sell the...

My first roadtrip in the X starts this weekend -- Philly to Florida -- with four kids in tow. For various reasons, I'm leaving basically during Friday afternoon rush hour and my main north/south route will be down I-81. My question is whether I can get to Hagerstown heading west on I-76...

It seems very likely now that we'll be picking up our 90D either the last Saturday in March or the first in April. Driving it straight from Fremont to our house in SF seems like a lost opportunity. Any recommendations for a half-day short road trip where we can enjoy the car - maybe to Santa...

Three days after picking up our new X in Seattle, my wife and I headed down along Hood Canal on 101, supercharged for the very first time in Centralia (our first Tesla) and managed to arrive in the 90 degree heat of Phoenix via a detour to Santa Barbara in four days. There we hooked up with...

Took a road trip with some buddies from SF Bay Area to Phoenix and back. Did a marathon drive back last night. The X was very much on my mind as I held in hard left rudder due to 28mph winds from the left hitting the very tall sprinter van broad-side and then later dealing with high winds...

Hey guys! I'm planning a summer road trip from NY to LA and back. Planning for a total of 25ish days. Any tips or advice I need to look out for or see? Going to be in a new model s 90D. :D

Hey guys. So I took my first road trip after about 300 miles of ownership. New York to DC. just a few thoughts to share. The drive itself was so good. Very smooth on the road with a quiet ride all the way. The car handled great. It even snowed and the car (rwd model) had no problem. Gps was...

I'm driving from L.A. up to Sedona, AZ on Thursday and it'll be my first lengthy drive with multiple SC's. I personally feel like I'll enjoy spacing out the trip with super chargers. Seems like it would break up a trip nicely. Obviously we're all completely biased and smitten with our cars...

We went from the Bay Area to Sedona and back for our first long road trip in our 2 yr old classic S. Each leg we drove straight through 17 hours including charging. Here are my observations: 1. The S is a CRUISING machine even without AP. I've had several SUVs and none of them ride like the...

in a few days I'll be embarking on my road trip from FLA to CO. I will be traveling on the SC network via I-10, I-45, I-35 and I-70. I am looking for info on the supercharger locations along the way, any tips on the SCs, close by restaurants and hotels would be greatly appreciated thanks in...

I'm considering a long run along the SC corridor, but will need to break north around Missoula, MT and head to Calgary. I searched for threads here, but as charger availability seems to change frequently, I thought I'd ask anyway. PlugShare says there are some chargers along the route, but most...

Hello all, Just completed a trip from Maryland to Hamilton, Ontario over the holidays in my 70D. Bottom line - We need a supercharger in Erie, PA. This trip took us through Hagerstown, MD, Somerset, PA, Cranberry Township, PA, and Buffalo, NY superchargers. All the superchargers are within a...

Need comments from the experts. Situation: Wife has a wedding to go to at the end of January and we'd like for her to take the P85D leaving me with the twins and the minivan. This is a drive from Nashville to Greenville, SC. Luckily there are a number of superchargers on the way. Here's the...

Hello, all! I'm three weeks into ownership and juuuust short of 3,000 miles. Also we've survived our first accident (rear-ended, no damage). Whew! Love the car. I'm done a couple of extended runs already, refueling at Superchargers, but I'm now planning longer trips which will require...

With luck, I will be picking up my Tesla on the 30th and have plans to travel on the 31st on a road trip that would be about 150 miles long. I won't have time to get it wrapped or paint protected beforehand. Is this a bad idea? I'm sure there will be gravel on the roads due to the climate we...

From year to year we spot a steadily growing interest for Tesla cars in Russia. However, there still is indefinite number of rumors about the lack of necessary charging infrastructure beyond capital cities - like Moscow or Saint-Petersburg. Though it might have some sense in terms of lengthy...

I haven't been posting much. But my 85D has about 26,000 miles on it and tomorrow we start out on a road trip from North Bend, WA to Topeka, KS. Which is 1,876 miles and 16-18 super charger stops (there are 2 that are optional in there but look like we can skip them) each way. Bought a GoPro...

From February 27 till the 6 March I’ll be in California. I’ll get a Model S from Tesla to do a small road trip. Can you give me some tips on where to go and what to see those days? I love wine so I want to go to Napa valley but don't have exact plans over there. Would love to have tips about...

Here's my Tesla Road Trip video. Thanks to Tesla for the free SuperChargers that enabled this trip - I hit 200 of them. I also met and interviewed some amazing people along the way, along with Tesla owners I met at the SuperChargers. You may also see a few recognizable "Tesla People" in the...

Hey all! After an entertaining discussion on whether I should fly or drive for this trip (To fly or not to fly. Another SF-LA trip thread. Now with Autopilot!), I ended up deciding to drive. The cost is the same to my employer (I charge mileage) as if I were flying and renting a car, I have the...

Our S85D is my wife's daily driver and I rarely get to drive it. She has put 12k miles on it in roughly five months. Our Thanksgiving road trip was from Cincinnati to Atlanta, which is roughly 460 miles. I spent hours researching every detail I can think of to minimize stress and avoid...

So I just went on my second roadtrip in my fairly new Model S and it went very well up until I hit a pothole and lost two tires. I really enjoy driving my MS, especially with AutoPilot on a long trip, but being stranded for 3 hours with my young children make me wonder if, at least in my...

Didn't see this posted here yet. Then the drive back, presumably the a similar 16 superchargers visited the other way? It's two hours+ video so I haven't watched it all. about 47 mins in first video he gets to grants pass, OR with 1 mile remaining when he plugs into the supercharger...

The Model S and X are the only EVs that can do long distance traveling in a reasonable amount of time. Compared to an ICE car it takes about 20-25% longer for charging on the way. The shorter the trip, the less charging makes a difference. For example on a 300-400 mile trip, you start with a...

I'm looking forward to my first LA to SF Bay Area (Mountain View) Tesla road trip over Thanksgiving weekend, but I'm a little worried that the Superchargers will be backed up with other Tesla drivers over the holiday weekend. Specifically, I plan to drive from Santa Monica to Mountain View on...

Hey forum, We're planning on taking a road trip in December down to Phoenix, Arizona. I ordered the whispbar roof rack system and have this cargo carrier. I have the 70D (as of about a month ago). We'll be carrying two adults and five kids between the ages of 3 and 11. All said, I just want to...

We recently took autopilot for a test drive from Seattle to Portland. For the most part, the system performed flawlessly, doing 95% of the driving by itself. It occasionally was distracted by the exit ramps, as we all know. And if you use it as Tesla prescribes, a tool for highway driving, it's...

Some very interesting facts and figures about frequency of road-trip style holidays in this article. Australian holidays: Locals love taking their car on a road trip | The Mercury I thought it may be of relevance to this forum since Superchargers specifically target long distance driving...

Headed out for a Saturday road trip in the MS. After reading some posts I decided to put my 2 daughters in car seats in the second row as opposed to the rear facing seats. We were headed to Julian from San Diego. There are a lot of winding roads and we made it within 10 mins of our destination...

Hey all, Going to do the first of many trips into the mountains in Kern County, CA for the fall. Its great biking and hiking, and the cabin we stay at is superb. Friends suggest we try the Model S this time. I'm stoked! However, on the final stretch (the private road up to the cabin) of the...

In a few weeks, my wife and I are undertaking a road trip from Oregon to Utah to visit family. Most of the drive we will have no issues with range as there are plenty of superchargers and RV park camping along the route. However, there is one small hurdle. We live in Bend, Oregon, which is...

This past August (2015) my wife and I embarked on the vacation of a lifetime. A 7,200 mile, 33 day roadtrip vacation in a Model S (18 driving days & 15 non-driving days). We began the trip by driving our daughter (1,000 miles) to her new college and getting her settled in. We visited (56)...

Folks, I live in Melbourne/Victoria, and soon hopefully middle of October I will have gotten my P85D, unfortunately L mode is not here yet, so will get that shortly after, BUT... I am taking a week of to celebrate :) With that I absolutely love Tasmania and one of the thoughts I had was to...

Een kort verslag van de road trip die ik enkele weken geleden heb gemaakt naar Zwitserland, inclusief een tochtje over 3 bergpassen. Mijn moeder woont in Berner Oberland en heeft een volledig energieneutraal huis laten bouwen. De helft van het dak bestaat volledig uit zonnepanelen. Ze vertelde...

Well, my family has still not nailed down things so I can get a plane ticket to Chicago in early October, so I'm starting to look at planning for driving the Model S there. The added benefit is I would have my own car there versus taking cabs, but then I also have to think about parking. A...

A while ago some Dutch and Belgium Tesla owners started talking about taking an extended roadtrip with our cars. We met online here on this forum first, discussed details and next week the whole thing will finally happen. We will be driving for a week, covering a distance of over 2500 miles...

I have a business trip from Toronto to Boston and will stop for hiking in the White Mountains on my return through New Hampshire over the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend. Most apps (especially Tesla's in car navigation) route me through Montreal. I am concerned about stopping when there are...

I searched the forums and have seen several posts related to specific road trips, which I enjoy reading, but I don't see one dedicated to tips and advice for planning road trips specifically in a Tesla. What are some of the most important things you think someone else should know before...

When you take a road trip, with a supercharger stop(s), what's the usual buffer you leave yourself (from the trip tab) to arrive at the next supercharger/destination.

Since I got my P85 a month and a half ago I have been wringing my hands about the scariness of driving to visit my mom in N. Houston. It's usually a 2:15 trip, but with my average of 378 Wh/mi and no easily accessible superchargers along the way, it turns into a 3:40 trip by going through...

Here's a guy on a journey to visit forty-eight states in a Nissan Leaf! And he's planting a tree every 250 miles to offset his carbon impact. He's having a tough time so far - some of the Chademo stations he planned to visit have been closed or offline...

OK, after 2 months of ownership and close to 1500 miles I finally took my MS on a short road trip from Atlanta to Chatanooga. Here are a few thoughts, questions, etc. It was a last-minute trip so I had done very little planning or research. I had also already been out driving that day and hadn't...

The family and I are planning to take our first road trip in our 70D around Thanksgiving. It's Orlando to Waynesville, NC, stopping at the superchargers in St. Augustine, Savannah, Santee SC and Charlotte. Waynesville doesn't have an ideal charging situation, but we'll be mostly staying with my...

I keep checking it, and am confused and disappointed (while also relieved) by the lack of activity. :wink: "Bonnie driving White X sightings" sounds like a good thread to me. I think Bonnie's guessing October for delivery. My WAG is Oct 14. Let the betting begin. :D

TESLA model S travels 8632 miles with NO GAS In our TESLA Model S (85) we traveled 8,632 miles circling the U.S. using only TESLA Superchargers, except for one spot in Wyoming where we stayed overnight in an RV park to charge (as the Supercharger there was...

Another trip to SoCal from NorCal... Drove to San Diego 3 weeks ago, loved it! This time the destination was a bit closer, Los Angeles! I know there are plenty of stats floating around, but I figured a few more couldn't hurt, something for new owners to look at as they get accustomed to their...

Hi Everyone Wanted to share this with everyone. This is my first road trip and I wanted to travel to St. Louis and posted a thread but after careful analysis decided to take the safest route and planned a road trip to Jacksonville, Florida from East Texas. I planned using EV trip planner...
