I just finished my first road trip and I know there are a bunch of these types of threads, but I seem to learn something new from each one, so I'll share my experiences, both good and bad. Charging I picked up my 2023 MYLR in October and this was my first long drive with supercharging...

We are driving from Dallas to Baltimore this weekend and trying to figure out what to plan ahead since this is our first long road trip on Tesla model 3. I already used the navigation feature to track down my supercharge stations en-route. It’s supposed to be a 27 hour long trip including...

I drove 2,610 miles round trip from my home in Dallas, TX to the San Juan National Forest earlier this month. I spent roughly a week using Camp Mode at Cayton Campground along the San Juan Skyway loop. Of all the many outdoor activities you can do, one thing must be at the top of your list --...

Happy road tripping and thanks to anyone who shares their trips, experiences, and observations. I was meandering around TMC looking for info on the CCS1 charge adapter after an interestingly inefficient charge situation in Pueblo, CO, and the forum kept suggesting all these road trip threads...

First, I love my Y. I am sure Tesla fans will give me grief about this post, but here it goes. I am writing this as I am in the midst of a long "ski bum" road trip that started in Orlando, FL and will hit Breckenridge, Vail, Jackson Hole, Park City, Wolf Creek, and Crested Butte before heading...

On Tuesday, Marilyn announced that she wanted to get out of the house. I checked her temperature and pulse--she seemed to be okay, but this was a radical change. She has not gone down the hill for anything but doctor's appointments since early March. She had had enough. "What about driving the...

Just a thought, has anyone taken their Tesla on the Auto train to FL? My mother lives close to Sanford FL and we have done the trip twice with the kids, not as cheap compared to flying but total cost of trip a little less since no rental car. Is there a big phantom drain when the car is unused...

My family of 5 went on an epic road trip in our Tesla over the Christmas break and I got a lot of questions from friends and family about it because there are some elements that are a significant paradigm shift from driving a gasoline vehicle. The #1 question I get asked is “How long does it...

I am in Winnipeg, Canada. It is very clod here (average winter temp is -25C i.e. -13 F) and I am definitely getting winter tires, when Car is coming next week. My question is: We are planning a long toad trip from Winnipeg to Florida - 2,200 miles (3,600 KMs) one way. I start from Winnipeg...

My family went on a ski trip this week to Utah. This trip had been planned for months and I seriously considered renting an ICE car for it. Then I reconsidered. After all, Tesla's supercharging network means that I can take long road trips. I studied the superchargers map on Tesla's website and...

This was actually our second trip in one of the cars, but the first time we really planned it out and thought it out carefully, with one objective being To avoid the New Jersey and Washington corridors by jogging slightly West of 95. The trip down in January for my wife in our midnight silver...
