I bought a used '21 M3LR back in December and have been loving it. I have experience with EVs, as I owned two (now one) Nissan Leafs. Anyways, I've done road trips before when I owned ICE vehicles, and I've got the standard stuff - emergency blanket, extra clothes, cat litter, washer fluid, the charger that came with the car, and a AAA membership in case I need a tow. I'll pack some water when it's time to go. I recently did a weekend trip up to Scottsbluff for NYE (and ran into the wonderful heat pump problem...grr..), so I've even taken it for an overnighter and used a couple of SCs. Now I'm planning to go from Denver to Dallas mid-February for a week, and I'm very excited about it. Now that we've got context out of the way:
Is there anything else I should have? I've not done an EV road trip in winter, as the Leafs just didn't have the range and the charging network. There's a good chance the roads will be just fine, and I'll reschedule it if bad weather comes up, but if it's just cold that won't stop me. I've purchased the Tesla pucks in case it ends up in a shop that doesn't know what they're doing (in case a tire goes bad), and I've got snow tires on it as well. I've used ABRP to plan the trip, and know how long it should take me. I've driven down to Amarillo several times, so I'm very familiar with that part of the trip.
