Just curious... if not signal in this area, that's means that there is not tesla connectivity?Pretty much no cell service between SLO and Monterey.
Probably not. Be sure to download some music/podcasts before you get into the Big Sur section, or just enjoy the peaceful sounds one of the most beautiful drives anywhere.Just curious... if not signal in this area, that's means that there is not tesla connectivity?
I experienced having no cell connectivity when visiting the Yellowstone National Park.Just curious... if not signal in this area, that's means that there is not tesla connectivity?
I assume the car caches the map to some degree, but haven’t really driven any extended stretch without service to find out. But if you’ve set the route and it’s factored in a charging station in an area without cell service, it would still be able to get you there as long as you don’t reset your navigation, right?I experienced having no cell connectivity when visiting the Yellowstone National Park.
In this case you cannot set a destination for the Navigation, so you need to estimate
your charging range in advance, but you still have the map and the GPS location of the car on the map,
Coincidentally SF Bay Area to Santa Barbara is a route will likely be driving often in our Y once we take delivery. Sounds like supercharger availability (number of superchargers and open spots) is not an issue on this route, which is great to hear.I've done repeated round trips from the SF Peninsula to Santa Barbara and back in the past 2 months, including one that was the full roundtrip in one day, and it's pretty painless on 101 aside from the actual driving. There is construction on 101 in King City that can create a serious backup, depends on time of day and traffic when you hit that area. But plenty of supercharger locations, I've never had a problem with finding a spot at one, etc.

Correct. The only thing you can’t do is to search for a new destination (the routing logic resides on the server). Navigation still works to-any previous destinations.I assume the car caches the map to some degree, but haven’t really driven any extended stretch without service to find out.

Being from the middle of the country it always makes me laugh to see people express concern about road tripping the coasts in a Tesla. There are more Supercharger locations in California than the next four states combined.
Even crossing the middle of the country we're to the point now that we can all just put the destination address into the car's navigation and start driving. If you don't want to, you don't have to do any more planning than that and the drive will be great. It will lead you to each charging stop and tell you when it's OK to unplug and continue driving. It's really remarkable.
Now if they'd just incorporate multi-point navigation like we were promised months ago ...
Wow. I washed dishes there when I was in college. It was the biggest restaurant in town then. Don’t know if it still is since I haven’t been back for many years.There's also probably 10 times as many Teslas in CA as in the next most common state.
This is what supercharger stations on OP's route can look like during the holidays:
They've build some more chargers in the area since that video but the charging infrastructure getting overwhelmed here is still very much a road trip concern.
