Aloha All,
Reporting on our 1st week of 8 week road trip covering 22 States and 8k+ miles.
Using Superchargers or Destination chargers whenever possible.
Feel free to ask any questions.
We are in our 2019 Model S with 100k miles. Supercharging free for the life of the Model S.
My driving habits.
Heavy on the pedal and like to pass slow vehicles to maintain time to cover distance in travelling.
but can add range if needed and will cruise 55mph to the next charger.
Day 1 started with 92% charge.
San Diego 7pm to El Centro 9pm added 15% charge (ate at Olive Garden nearby at closing)
El Centro Supercharger 1015pm to Quartzsite Supercharger 1am. 1hr charge time. (nearby is Terrible's good bathrooms and snacks/souveniers)
Quartzsite 2am to Prescott 4am (I don't recommend the drive at night. lots of dips with blind shadows and the mountain switchbacks).
stayed at Hilton Garden Inn and used the Springhill Suites Tesla charger 2 separate times. parked and plugged in free.
Day 3 started with 98% charge.
Prescott 11am to Costco to Jerome Az 4pm (Lunch) to Sedona 7pm charged to 90% (incredible sun set light display) then to Page, AZ 1130pm
Day 5 used Page Supercharger to 92%
9am Page to Kanab (lunch) to Zion 2pm stayed at Cliffrose Curio for 3 nights with 2 Tesla Chargers (ice vehicles will park at Tesla spaces. recommend asking front desk to set cones to reserve your charging. Cords are long enough for other side parking).
Day 8 started with 99% charge
Cliffrose Curio 545am to Orderville (best coffee pastry in the southern Utah) to Bryce Canyon including up to Rainbow Point at 9k+ elevation. to Richfield Supercharger (app said arrive at 2% casually cruised down the mountain without hitting the brakes and cruised 60mph for the 1st 40 miles. Then resumed normal Heavy foot driving. Arrived at Richfield with 9%. Charged to 75% then to Lehi, Utah by Salt lake with 24%
Today will head to Jackson Wy and Yellowstone for a week.
Mahalo to all
