You'll be fine, just don't do what I did....
About 4 months ago I bought a 2014 MS 60 from a non-Tesla dealer who knew very little about the car other than basic driving. I picked up the car on a Saturday afternoon and got 1 key fob, that I wasn't shown how to use.
My wife and I had tickets to a concert about 85 miles from the house. My wife said we should probably take one of our ICE cars but I told her I wanted to start learning about the car and it's range, and better now than when I'm driving it for work, right? I had left my ICE car at the dealer and didn't feel like taking hers.
So we took the MS60 leaving the house with a SOC of 82%. Don't worry, I told her, I had installed Plugshare on my phone and saw that there were several destination chargers along the way, and there was a Tesla destination charger less than a mile from the location of the concert. We might have to stop and charge for say, 30 minutes before heading home I told her. Boy was that wishful thinking!
We had left early enough and got to the concert early, so we went to the Tesla destination charger at the harbor, it was about 7pm and dark. The harbor was on the other side of railroad tracks between it and the downtown area where the concert was.
It was a sketchy area at 7pm BEFORE the concert let alone at 11pm AFTER the concert. So I decided not to leave the car there charging, and likely get carjacked on day-1!!! We went to a parking garage but it didn't have chargers. No worries, we had a concert to go to, we'll figure it out after the concert!
After the concert we went to the car to head home. The doors didn't auto-present. Oh yeah, gotta push the handle. Nothing, the handles don't present. Uh oh, Houston, we have a problem! No worries, I'll just call Roadside Assistance!
I had installed the Tesla app but hadn't added the car yet as it failed to add. The dealer did the state title transfer and plates of course but didn't tell me I had to call Tesla to transfer ownership of the car! When I spoke to Roadside Assistance I told them my situation and that this was DAY ONE and I really didn't know what I was doing.
I told them I had the key fob but it wasn't being recognized (thinking I had what I now know is Passive Entry - I don't!). Would've been nice if they would have asked me if I had tried clicking the remote - I hadn't, and didn't know I could, the buttons aren't marked. They had me put the fob near sensors on the door column and windshield but that didn't do anything. They didn't have much other advise so I was thinking I would need to call an Uber. We hung up with them.
My wife was holding the fob and had managed to open the trunk! What luck! I crawled into the back and found the latch for the rear seat. I also found the J1772 adapter, very fortunate! I got in the driver's seat and unlocked the car, the wife got in, the car started, and we left the parking garage after fooling around for about 20-25 minutes just trying to get in. It was like an episode of Seinfeld. We were finally on our way home.
Then I noticed the charge level, 32%. We had used 50% of the estimated charge to get there, and were now more than 20% short to get home. Uh oh...... No worries, fire up Plugshare and find a destination charger! We drove about 15 miles and my battery percentage was down to about 12%. I didn't know much, but I knew I didn't want to go much below 10% so we found the closest charger. Did I mention my MS60 was not licensed for SuC?
We find the L2 destination charger. Good thing I found the J1772 adapter in the dark trunk. I plugged it on the charger cord and plugged in the car. We'll be on our way shortly I assured the wife. Then we sat and waited.... 5 minutes..... 10 minutes.... Charging at a snails pace 5-6 kWh rate, it had added a couple percentage points. Uh oh.... We're gonna be here a while. It was midnight. After about 30-35 minutes we were back up to about 23%. I stopped charging and he headed off again.
And about 15 miles later, we were back down to 10%! Where's the next destination charger. Another 30-35 mins to get back to 22-23%, another 15 miles, back to 10%.... We did that ALL NIGHT LONG! We limped towards home 13-15 miles at a time, with a 30 min charging stop each time. We stopped at the dealer at about 5am and the wife drove the ICE car and followed me.
At about 6am we rolled into a community center about 1.5 miles from home, they have Tesla destination chargers. I parked the car, plugged in, and we went home and slept till noon. We got up, had a quick lunch, then went back for the car. It had been charging for about 6.5 hours at that point and was then at about 85%. I drove the car home. We made it home without being carjacked or needing a tow or Uber. Hallelujah!
Helluva day 1! I wanted to start the "learning curve" and boy did I! I learned a heckuva lot that night!
I now have a home charger installed, and Tuesday I'm getting SuC enabled. I have a much better understanding of the cars range, and the god awful painfully slow charging rate of destination chargers.
Had I left the car at the harbor charging at the destination charger (and not gotten carjacked) I likely would have gotten enough charge in the 4 hours we were at the concert to make it home without any stops at destination chargers. Live and learn.
What a crazy night, one to remember! We've got a story to tell, albeit an embarrassing one! We can laugh about it now!
