I am due to take up a job on the East coast and am planning to drive there from LA. I have driven long distance in my ICE car plenty of times though nothing on this scale (15 hour drives etc.) Since my M3 is in the shop with an unknown fairly catastrophic failure that they are hopefully going to fix in time, I wonder what if any preparation I should do to ensure a successful journey as I'll probably be driving alone.
I expect autopilot will help greatly and of course I'll be taking the supercharger route and expect to take a week to do the journey, no great rush. I was slightly concerned it took almost 2 hours to get help from Tesla (30-40 minutes on hold and an hour for tow truck) fortunately the car was at home. Had this been out in the desert with no AC or worse still with no reception.. I hate to think how things would be.
Of course practically speaking there isn't really anything one can do other than check the tires and not to forget the charge cable.
Also anyone East coast owners have advice for a Californian moving there for winter season? Most likely it is, park the car and take the train! Get new winter tyres? I have driven in snow in the mountains here with snow chains but I assume people don't drive around with chains over there on a daily basis. I don't have dual motor.
