I'm eagerly awaiting the delivery of my Model S. To pass the time, I've been making preliminary plans for a road trip with it this summer to visit friends and family in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, starting from the SF Bay Area.
One thing I've been contemplating is bringing my dog along with me on the trip, but since I'll be dwelling at Superchargers a bit longer than I would at gas stations with an ICE car it got me to thinking—what to do with my pet while I run inside to say, Harris Ranch Restaurant, and grab a sit-down bite to eat?
Something I've read about but obviously haven't experienced yet is the ability to remotely run the climate control from the iPhone application. Since I expect it to be hot outside (it's summer in the Central Valley, after all) would it be possible to keep the air conditioning going during a Supercharge and while I'm inside of a place where pets aren't allowed? Do other Model S owners do this sort of thing and "get it" when they see a pet inside of a charging Model S? I'd like to avoid the humane society being called...
Anyone with real world experience taking their pets on road trips in an EV that can give some advice? Thanks!
EDIT: If you're new to the thread, I later clarified that I want tips on what to do with a pet while I order takeaway FROM the sit-down restaurant. Not that I want to sit down in the restaurant. I obviously should have chosen my words better.
