So after reading pretty much all I can find, cross referencing options and a healthy dose of reality from Ari
ROAD TRIP: From Florida to Ohio in a 2010 Tesla Roadster Sport 3.0
I decided I'll be driving my car back. With the support of the Toucan's, the MC240 and a wealth of advice again from Ari I believe I have charging covered.
Of course a local car would have been ideal but that never happens in my world so I found one as far away as possible, crossing land with the least places to charge and all in a car I know next to nothing about. So from Anacortes to Toronto I will either be grinning ear to ear enjoying the relaxed drive, or looking miserable in a u-haul truck towing a trailer. Either way I have 2600 miles to cover. My route I would upload but its in excel format. But its pretty much finalized with 2 stops at campgrounds to recharge both myself and the car for a night. No doubt I will learn a lot on the way and will be keeping efficiency at the forefront until I am comfortable with range projection. I have a few uncomfortable long stretches of 167-177 miles which thankfully are between 80 amp chargers so I can get moving again fairly quickly, I also have contingency camp ground chargers planned just in case. I have projected my travel times driving around 55-60 mph and listening to a lot of audio books. I-90 to I-94 will be the preferred route and once across the boarder I will be able to breathe a huge sigh of relief.
I have had to spend countless hours sorting routes. rest stops and reading the endless internet misinformation regarding moving/importing/transporting vehicles from Provence to State to Country and thankfully I now have a good understanding of how it works finally and I can faithfully say 99% of the internet opinions are not only wrong but thoroughly misleading.
If anyone is interested I will post my planned route and will welcome any further advice for anyone who knows any of the I-90 as on the map is looks quite daunting.
I will obviously be documenting my trip and updating my progress and figured I would start here with 8 weeks to go. Impatiently waiting for funds to clear so I can get this chapter started.
