I'm writing this mainly for those interested in a Tesla or those who own one, but suffer from range anxiety. If you're pondering an adventure in your car, PLEASE do it!
We just returned from our first road trip along California's central coast. We've had our Y a little over 3 weeks and I had no experience with superchargers. We traveled with 4 adults and with luggage for 3 nights. Overall, we were very pleased. I couldn't be happier with the supercharger locations and operation. We never waited at any of the locations (Thousand Oaks, Goleta, San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles). The wives loved shopping while the husbands played games or watched shows using the infotainment system.
We traveled a total of 945 miles, used 285 kWh, at a rate of 302 Wh/mi. Probably 80% highway miles at 65-75mph. San Diego to Cambria/Paso Robles has some minor elevation changes, but nothing crazy.
We had four "phantom brake" events while in cruise control. All of them happened on major highways, during broad daylight, little or no traffic, with no obstructions in the road. The first one was fairly violent and scared my wife pretty good. I'm running 2020.40.3 and I think people have been complaining about this for quite a while.
Other than the phantom brakes, I have absolutely no complaints. We loved the trip!
