Hello Model S Drivers,
I am looking for any advice on driving from Detroit to San Diego and back again in December/January. Any advice is welcome!
I understand my navigation feature directing me to Supercharge stations across the country. That tells me it's 2,502 miles and will take around 49 hours. Does that time include the time estimated for charging? Google maps says it's 2,347 miles and a 34 hour drive, obviously disregarding the need to power a vehicle. I have not compared the exact routes between the two navigations. It looks roughly the same, but with a difference of 155 miles I assume the Supercharging stations take us a little out of the way.
I have found the need for snow tires in the winter. Otherwise, I haven't felt confident on slippery roads. However, I understand that I cannot drive my snow tires in warm weather. So, driving through the North and mountains I can count on wintery road conditions. I honestly cannot see lugging along an extra set of tires to change in Arizona! Thoughts?
If anyone has made this trip and has tips to share, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks,
Kathy
