Looking at planning a family road trip from just north of Toronto to Key West, primarily planning to go down 75 via the 401 to Detroit and return up 95 etc to come back through either Watertown or Buffalo.
First question, can anyone share their experience(s)? While I've certainly met lots of other owners in the GTA that have gone back and forth to Chicago, Boston I haven't crossed paths with anyone mentioning a longer range trip.
Although we're pushing 85k in our two year old 85d our longest trips so far have been a few times to North Bay, and Kingston.
My main concern with the route, is what is the average experience people have had with trusting the TripPlanner taking you from one charger to the next, or when relying on the PlugShare App to find alternates. Would we primarily be needing to use ChaDEMO with alternates, so I need to make sure we've bought the cable adapter? Has anyone found themselves sitting outside Knoxville at 8% remaining and wondering where they can top up to get that next 50 miles, while the family gazes accusingly at you the driver and you try and pass it off as an AutoPilot mistake? ha ha.
While no trip goes 100% according to plan, I'm looking to take my family that hasn't done a long road trip before on the trips i did many times as a kid and show them all the interesting things they've just been flying over before. Naturally though I'd prefer to not be Clark Griswold standing on the side of the road holding a charging cable on an empty stretch of interstate.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
