long distance

I'm curious about how those that've had a model 3 for a long time and driven it a long way have been fairing. Like how the battery holds up in the multi-thousand mile range. So far my 2018 model 3 is at 75,000 miles, and still going strong, but I'd love to hear other's experiences! Back when the...

When we finally got our Model Y long range in March, first thoughts were for a first holiday to the alps in the EV. Why not? Then I googled it, and only found horror stories. Folks taking 16 hours or longer to get down, huge queues at super chargers, and cars limping along at 50 mph to make the...

I recently bought a tesla model3 LR and this is my first long-distance trip(TN to NJ). Is it fine to follow tesla's default navigation for charging? Any apps or trip planners available? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Hi all, Taking the model 3 out for a long weekend tomorrow but I could really do with advice. We are going from the Northwest to London with a slight detour stop. I have planned the trip on both the car and also the Tesla Go Anywhere thingy on their website, both are telling me to stop at the...

I started yesterday, no real concrete plan, other than the destination. It's about 3300 km each way. I have been using both a better route planner, and the onboard navigation, and I have to say I find both very good. At the moment, I'm crossing a great lake on a ferry from Muskegon, Michigan...

A month and a half ago I bought a used Model S. Over the holidays I flew to visit my sister. While I was there I got a bit frustrated with my ICE rental car and thought, "Why didn't I just drive instead of fly?" So now I'm thinking about what road trips I want to take with my Tesla. My normal...

Just got back to Massachusetts from an epic cross-country journey with my wife and daughter. Interstate Highways & Route: Massachusetts to Milwaukee (I-91, -84, -81, -80, -71, -94, -43), Des Moines (I-94, -80, -35, -29), Kansas City, Topeka (I-70), Denver (I-70), Moab (I-70), Las Vegas (I-70...

Has anyone done or could help with this analysis? What is the fastest speed we should use on m3 to get somewhere far (1000+ miles) while using only superchargers to charge up in order to get somewhere in the shortest amount of time? I.e. driving 90 mph in m3, battery loses about 30% so it...

Hear me out now. Apart from being cheaper to produce (/kWh) the new 2170 cells will allow for more capaciy in a given pack size. 40% more than the 2012 85kWh pack, according to JB Straubel. And that may well be without the extra utilization of 5mm head space through the longer cells. So, close...

I have looked a bit to find information about taking a Bolt on the road and not been successful at finding it. I have looked at comparisons between the Model 3 and the Bolt. I even called the dealer. I wanted to know: How do I drive a Bolt to Colorado, 500 miles away? So I called and asked...

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...

My son and I leave tomorrow for our first real East Coast Road Trip. While I have covered well-over 6,000 miles in 14 weeks, we will cover over 1,000 miles in the next six days. We have some goals, and I guess we can state them now and see where it all lands. To use our first Supercharger...

Going to take the Model S to Portland this weekend. Leaving from the Kirkland area and will do a straight shot down to Portland on Saturday via I-5. I'll do my best to monitor power usage and charging stops. I know the trip will be much different once Tesla gets a Supercharger on the I-5...
