First off id like to thank Elon and team for this amazing piece of machine!
A special thanks goes to hilton hotels for providing the space for the Redondo Beach CA supercharger! The best place to stop and charge, cleanest restroom I've seen on the road!
Seriously that place was awesome! But I digress
Ok so even tho I've learned a lot about range, consumption, variables, I was still very cautious as this was my first trip. I took advantage of tools like evtripplanner and teslas nav which is absolutely horrible!
Trip began in Sacramento with a 258 mile charge, originally I was thinking of going straight to Harris ranch sc I changed my mind around Stockton and decided to stop off in Manteca for 10-15 minutes. After that the trip was a breeze!
I did notice one thing, the wait for your car to charge does not exist! By the time I was done using the restroom getting my snacks and having a slow romantic walk back to the car it was ready to go! Not once did I have to sit and wait for my range to hit the magic number.
Ive done this trip many times, this was the most enjoyable, the stops really make it a road trip rather than a grind.
The bad: what in the world is up with the nav? It tells me I have enough range, I charge further for a larger buffer and once I hit the road it tells me to turn around and go back for a charge! Whyyyy?
It did that twice, once leaving Manteca, and then after I left Harris ranch.
