I think it was Zack. He stared a thread on it, if I remember correctly.

Roadster: 245 miles ideal range in Range mode. Model S: 300 miles. How could you take out half or more of the stops?In an 85kWh Model S, you could, arguably, take out half or more of the stops...
So I'm planning my cross country Model S trip from Freemont to Trenton.
...
We'll be buying the 230Mile battery.
Thanks in advance for suggestions.
Daxz's stop spacing is highly conservative, even for the Roadster; I assumed that he was trying to avoid the need for using Range mode. We've heard, however, that the Model S doesn't have "Range mode", implying that full charging (at up to 20kW/h) is fine. So, instead of 180 mile range (normal) we're looking at 300.Roadster: 245 miles ideal range in Range mode. Model S: 300 miles. How could you take out half or more of the stops?
So I'm planning my cross country Model S trip from Freemont to Trenton. I'm planning for the falls (I'm P #2124). DAXZ's iteniary is helpful though I'm really hoping to get a bead on the much discussed super-charger network. I'm going to do the trip with my wife and baby so 6 hour lay-overs at RV Parks (while possible for overnight) doesn't sound appealing during the day. I'm hoping to get 6 hours of driving in a day.
The plan is to take a southern route in order to visit friends in Dallas and North Carolina. Would like to go to the Grand Canyon, Santa Fe as well.
if ("...designing and building our own mobile supercharger..." && Posts == 1) {We are currently planning on taking a Telsa S cross country and attempt to beat the current EV coast to coast record.. Instead of relying on current or lack of Tesla Superchargers, we will designing and building our own mobile supercharger.. Hopefully, with the blessings of Tesla.. Currently the hold up is the charging protocols to all communication between our level 3 DC generator/charger and Tesla S..
Stay tuned..
