Drove LA --> SLC (Park City) in a Model 3LR this summer. Needed to have our mountain bikes there. And, wanted to have a fun car to explore the beautiful countryside. So, decided to drive, not fly, the 700 miles. Ugh.
Much dread. Neither of us like long drives on desert interstates.
Dread unwarranted. Decided to stop every 125-200 miles rather than maxing range between charges. Made 4 stops, rather than the 2 or 3 we'd planned. Quick lunch in Primm. Quick coffee in St. George. Ice cream cone in Beaver. Subway in Nephi.
Each time, the car was ready before we were. Total charging time: Less than two hours. Door-to-door trip time: 12 hours. Pretty much the same as we would have taken in an ICE.
Difference was ... it was downright pleasant. Arrived energetic and chipper.
And, the next morning, my wife woke up, looked at the mountains outside, and asked brightly, "Shall we go for a drive?"
Model S is an amazing road trip car. And, if one can deal with slightly less cavernous luggage capacity, Model 3's faster Supercharging (in terms of range added per minute ... tops out around 8 mpm) makes it even better.
