Tesla Motors Club

Hi All,

Have always loved these cars...Never been in one but that is nothing new to me. I have a car habit which has grown along side of my company. As we have grown over the years I have been able to purchase many different "fun" cars along the way.

I have always enjoyed searching for my favorite / best model that I could afford. I have made many long distance trips for them...Sometimes 1500 miles.

That said I have found what seems to be the perfect Tesla for me / my needs. A 2013 P85 Performance with a bit over 19K miles on it. It is not very far from me...About 500 miles. Typically I would drive (in this case I am trading my wife's car for it) up and turn around straight back home...Making for a long day if less than 1000 miles. If longer than that I stay overnight.

This car is about 500 miles away in South Carolina. I am in the Orlando area. Since I will have to charge it on the way home I am a bit nervous about "running out" of charge, etc. I have downloaded the Tesla app and have found various stations along the way. I would be

Anything I need to worry about? Crazy planning involved? The last thing I want is to be stranded, find out I do not have a special part or piece, subscription, etc. needed to charge at a Tesla Super Charging Station, etc.

I am OK with taking my time (adding time for charging on the road)...But do not want the trip to be too stressful. Maybe I am worrying too much?!? LOL!

Thanks in advance!!!
