    Getting the car tomorrow. So forgive the dumb question. Can I rout my calendar for the day on pc and have it show me where I need to stop and charge? Then transfer it to the car?

    Not sure I fully understand but here goes it. The calendar will route a destination on the nav screen if you have an event that has a location. If that distance away from your current location requires charging, your X will route you to a charger before arriving. There is no way currently to have waypoints in the nav. Oh, and if the calendar has a time on the event, the nav will auto route when the time of your event is to start. This would always freak me out when there was a route selected and I didn't do it. You can however have several events with different destinations and select the next location after arrival to the first. Also keep in mind that you can use google to find location, then share that location to the tesla app. This will auto route your nav. You can also use the WEB, go to abetterrouteplanner.com and use this as a nav screen if you are trying multiple locations.
    Hope this helps. Best of luck with your delivery.

    Well, I have busy days that I have to map out. With gas, I don't need to adjust my appointment times. I can fill up in a few minutes anywhere. I have read it can take 45 minutes to fill up Tesla. So I need some way to map out my day and know how long I will need to get to the next appointment. I will travel 500+ miles 2 days a week with multiple stops. Hope that is more clear.

    Some what. From my experience when I do Uber/Lyft, I can be anywhere at any given time. When I take a break for lunch, I'm usually not far from an S/C and charge the car when getting a sandwich and using the restroom. in your example, you will need to look to determine what S/C are in around your commute and just plan a break somewhere there. There is the ole saying, know the ABC's of electric car ownership. Always Be Charging.

    Try mapping out your day on A Better Routeplanner and see if that helps.
