Bay Area -> SB Road Trip

[jcbada]

Hi folks,

Taking a staycation road trip this week with the family. I was wondering if anyone has any good routes and/or recommendations on how to get down there.

- Dec 2018 75D Model X
- will be traveling with wife + two kids under 5 so 1-2 breaks should be fine, if not better for the kids to stretch their legs
- will have our dog with us as well

Will be departing from Union City/Hayward area.

Thanks in advance!

Plenty of Supercharger sites along US 101 between the Bay Area and Santa Barbara. You'll have no problems. Have fun!

tons of chargers on 101. use abetterouteplanner.com to plan. learn to use the trip graph, it is very accurate. I am comfortable arriving with 15% charge, and maybe eventually get comfortable enough to get to 10%.

i just did the trip, albeit with a 100. extra charge in goleta was just so I had range to drive around.

once you're in sb flor de maiz and cadario are great.

If you're taking the 5, try to skip Harris Ranch in favor of Kettleman City (250w).
