I took my Model S 75 on its first longer trip this weekend, driving from SF to LA and back along 101.
It's such a pleasure driving with autopilot. It only tried to kill me once by steering directly into the side of a semi truck cab I was passing. (It's done this before too -- I think it's magnetically attracted to semi's.)
Charging was easy. Stopped in Salinas and Arastradero on the way down, and Buellton, Arastradero, and Gilroy on the way back (couldn't quite make it from Buellton to Salinas -- that was the plan but I started getting warning messages so made a pit stop).
Had a couple of defective superchargers where they decreased to 60kW pretty quickly (Gilroy), or stopped charging after 10 minutes (Arastradero), but changing stalls fixed this.
Overall, it was a great trip. I was happy to have HEPA installed when LA got really smoky yesterday. The only time I smelled anything inside the cabin was a faint whiff of garlic in Gilroy... then got out of the vehicle and WHAM..onion overload.
Noticed there are a *lot* of Model S's on the road in LA.
