Good Evening all!
I am flying out to pick up a 2018 M3P Saturday morning from a private seller just outside of NYC. It’s about 650 miles to my home back in Michigan. I am extremely excited and somewhat anxious. I want to make sure that I’m prepared for everything that comes my way. This will be my first EV and I’m trying to make sure this isn’t a terrible experience. I’ve mapped my route using the online route planner thru Tesla and ABRP so it looks like 4 stops. The seller promised a 100% charge (even though he has never charged over 80% in his time with the car).
My main concern is access to supercharging, we plan on transferring the car into my Tesla account when we complete the sale, I’ve heard this can be instant and I’ve also heard this can take some time. I’d really not be stuck 400 miles away from home waiting so I was looking for some input. Has anyone done this? Am I worrying for nothing? Any good alternatives to plan my route using another charging system? Will I need an adapter if I go that route?
Thank you so much in advance.
