Want to figure out what are the worst states or countries to do a road trip with a Tesla Model 3.
I live in SoCal so there are plenty of supercharging. But I don't use them very often since driving from OC (Lake Forest) to LA roundtrip won't require a supercharge when starting out full charge, and most my commutes are usually shorter. The only times I may have to supercharge for a day trip (roundtrip) are OC to Santa Barbara, or OC to San Diego.
I feel Las Vegas is one of the easiest road trip routes to supercharge. And there are free charging stations at hotels so if you drive around, you may have a chance to charge up at a free level 2. Feels like there are more options when doing road trips when going OC to Las Vegas.
But for Phoenix AZ, it was kinda a pain in the ass. There's like only 3 supercharging spots in the entire Phoenix area in outta the way areas. Just didn't feel supercharging was "on the way" and this is a state you really must plan your commute, and very likely you will have to go 10-20 min outta your way to supercharger. Arizona seems like a state that seems ICE dominated, gas is cheap there like $2.15 so I guess there is little incentive for people here to drive Teslas.
Just wondering which states are the worst to supercharge in when that is going to be your main option?
