What do you usually do when your Tesla is charging?

[guipingfang]

Today I am preparing to charge for my MS.
There is so hot and boring.

Sleep.

The Tesla is set to charge at 2 AM from the dedicated TOU EV electric meter.

Sleep.. actually... good night.

If I'm at home I just leave it in the garage charging and forget about it.
If I'm at a supercharger I usually try to go get a coffee or something. I don't like sitting in the car waiting.

Wow that is a good idea but today I have run too much miles so no choice but to charge at noon.

Wow wow, what a beautiful rainbow. Is it drew by your kids? I noticed you are from China me too, nice to meet you here........

put one more in the sleep column.
however when on a long drive when I need to use a SpC, I generally walk around the area where the SpC is located or grab a snack, I try to do my long SpC charges around mealtimes.

I like to draw while charging, too. Sometimes I get out and stretch, find a restroom (I drink A LOT of water), sometimes I eat or nap. I'm not usually a good napper because I only have "On" and "Off" modes apparently, but on my last road trip I experienced the best nap of my life at the Savannah SC, and it was only about 10 minutes!

I usually go for a run. My pace is not great so in the 30min or so I supercharge at my local SpC I can do my 5k and stretch.
Far from being fit, this is at least my motivation to kill two birds with one stone.
And yes, I do play pokemon go while running too. (not ashamed).

@guipingfang

When supercharging on road trips I usually take a 15 minute break to walk to a restroom and back, or a 60 minute break to walk to a restaurant and eat. This usually provides all of the time needed for supercharging. Sometimes I pick up items I need at the nearby Meijer store (many superchargers in my area are located in a Meijer parking lot).

On long trips you are spending too much time sitting in the car driving (or supervising autopilot). Sitting in the car while supercharging is a very bad idea for your health and happiness, in my opinion. Go take a short walk and you will feel much better when you reach your destination. You also will be a more alert and safer driver.

Happy travels!

I recently put a handheld Dyson vacuum in my car along with detailing towels and spray. The carpet and door sills have never been so clean!

Sleep. I don't get time-of-day electric rates, but I still set mine to charge at 1:00 a.m. so I don't contribute to peak demands. I've never charged anywhere but at home because I never drive the Tesla beyond half its range.

 

[mrElbe]

I drove 24 hours from Berlin Germany to Toulouse France in one go last fall. At each supercharger had a nap for 40 minutes and was fresh to go to the next one.

 

[boonedocks]

+6 for the sleeps. 3:30am start time and ready to by 7:15 no matter what my day before driving was like. Gotta love that 72Amp charger

 

[Uncle Paul]

Catch up on email or make some phone calls.

 

[Hash Browns]

Mostly sleep. I charge 99% of the time at home, overnight.

When Supercharging on road trips, I always visit the property host and make a small purchase (food, or whatever). For example, if the Supercharger is located in the parking lot of a restaurant, I will always eat at that restaurant and let management know that I am there because of their commitment to Tesla and charging infrastructure.

Walk over to McD and get a coffee. Then listen to music. I would love to surf the internet, but it is just so unbelievably slow.

 

[RogerHScott]

the best nap of my life at the Savannah SC,

I was gonna say, why do people talk as if sleeping and super-charging were mutually exclusive?
