I'm a Tesla Owner from the Netherlands, and my wife and I will be visiting California in september. I just received a confirmation that we get a factory tour on either September 21st or 22nd.
My question is around other things to do or see in the area. Our current plans are that we'll be driving up from the Pacific Highway 1 and currently we're thinking about Monterey or Carmel as a place to spend the night.
The next day the drive to Fremont isn't too long (or so it seems).
Some of the question that come up:-
I've gone through a million Tripadvisor posts, but am still unsure what the best approach is and would appreciate some local insights
And advice and or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
René

Some of the question that come up:-
- Monterey/Carmel a good idea for a stop over? Other suggestions
- There are a number of different ways to get from Monterey/Carmel to Fremont.
- From a tourist/site-seeing perspective, should be take the 101 (straight) or is the route 1 and 17 worth the detour?
- The tour lasts an hour. Our next stop it to spend 4/5 days in San Fransisco before flying back to the Netherlands. We could drive there straight away, or should be make one or more stops on the way?
- To get to San Fransisco; what do you recommend: Take the 101, or drive past Oakland? Any suggestions for interesting stops on the way?
