EV road-trip in a Tesla model Y from Cape Cod to South of Tucson AZ ~ Sat. Oct 9th ~ Sun Oct 17th
Started at 8,900 miles on odometer, ended with 12,335. 3,435 miles total.
28 Superchargers used during trip.
First two days were headed to old friend of 45 years, John. He and his wife live in Ocean Isle Beach NC.
Left John’s place Wed morning and the trip went without a hitch except for two “incidents.”
Coming out of San Antonio on Friday we were hit with a massive rainstorm. Weather had been fine till then, and the rain/lightning came at a really bad place, where multiple roads connected coming out of San Antonio. Had to drive through a “river” at one point which, based on how high the water was coming up to on other cars going through the water it had to reach mid wheel height. Not fun. Weather was great once out of that mess!
The second event was on day four. We left Boerne TX and our first stop was at Junction TX, a Supercharger site. There were eight charging stations (eight plugs) but only two stations worked! And those at pretty low power. I called Tesla and was told they’d send out a repair crew.
We've done an AZ to Cape ride in this Tesla MY back in April, so this was the return. Car ran like a top.
Otherwise all went well. If you guys have any specific questions feel free to ask.
