About to pick up my 85D next week and immediately go on a three hundred+ mile road trip. I'll hit two super chargers but will also need to top up in the wild to make it home, probably looking for 50 miles worth of charge from a blink station. What ten essentials (yes I am a boy scout leader) would you always take on a road trip?
1. UMC 2. J1772 adapter 3. license and registration 4. water 5. 30F compatible jacket 6. sunglasses and/or hat 7. credit card and at least $50 cash 8. mobile phone (if you have one already) 9. change of clothes
11. Blink and Chargepoint cards 12. Preprinted note(s) to leave on car when charging, so others can contact you if charging is done & they need the spot. 13. Reservations at hotels with destination charging.
All of the above and: CAMCO 30FT extension cord for your UMC. Comes in very handy blanket First aid kit Windex and paper towels Tesla-specific tire repair kit. Just to be clear Tire tread puncture repair kit with plugs Reflective triangles for the road or flashers, etc I keep it all in my frunk. Oh and...Vodka and glasses appropriate for a Tesla, of course!
