Hollowed-out Bible.A bong and a bible.
150,000 miles of road trips and I've never taken anything. Relax and enjoy. (Though I did stay in the car on first road trip. Why? Because I could).I will be taking my MYLR on a 1,500 mile (each way) road trip come the beginning of May.
For those that have done long road trips, I'm wondering what items you would pack that you found to be necessary, or just ones that made the trip a lot nicer.
I'm hoping that this thread will be useful to not only myself but to anyone planing a long trip. Thank you in advance for your help.

Really depends where you're driving. You don't always get cell signal in WV and I'd much prefer getting back on the road ASAP.I did forget to mention the J1772 adapter in my two card list of necessities above, I do also have a small towel and glass cleaning towelettes, a flashlight, a jacket and a CHAdeMO adapter in the car at all times, so I should have mentioned them.
Oh, I have a large straw in the glovebox for when I buy a milkshake and it's too thick to drink thru their tiny straws, but all this talk of bringing tire patch kits and squeegees and trash bags? Road flares and first aid kits? And really? An AUDIOBOOK? The car has tons of entertainment and connectivity, and no one mentioned a phone! I assume some things are given, so like a few of us have said, just get in your car and drive (with AAA) and enjoy. Don't waste your time with such nonsense.
oh, and don't bring the wife, meet her at the destination.
I have waited hours for a tow truck, (only have had two flats in almost 60 years) but I am not gonna patch a leak on the side of the highway. I pay AAA good money to keep me safe. And every gas station in America has a squeegee raring to go, just cause I drive electric don't mean I don't use the facilities provided.
I have one for my MY. They are not compact. I don't keep it in the car. I have it soley for trips due to its size. I is a bit narrower, but the same diameter. To stand it up behind the rear seat without rubbing the roof lining I have to take the floor piece out.The other way to handle that I suppose would be to get a compact spare tire kit.

Genuinely sorry about that.I have waited hours for a tow truck
To my knowledge, AAA will only change a flat tire or tow you somewhere…they don’t patch a tire onsite. This makes either having a spare tire more important to use their services, or end up buying a new tire at whatever dealer/gas station you get towed to with however long that takes. For me, I’ll use AAA for local help but on the road without a spare, I’m far more comfortable minimizing time loss and doing a plug.I am not gonna patch a leak on the side of the highway.

Anything wrong with charging my new MYP to 100% a few hours before my 400 mile trip to AZ from OC Cal ?a gas powered generator to charge the car lol
i'm sure you will be fine. just plan out your stops. its best to estimate a rage around 175 - 200 from one stop to the next when doing 80% charge. Also better to charge at lower states 10% - 80% rather than 50 - 90% (will save you some time).
variables are wind, temperatures so keep that in mind and adjust SOC based on this and what the display says.
