any other options? to do this long commute
If 'not too distant future' means 10+ years. Just spend a few minutes reading through here: AI, Autopilot, & Autonomous/FSDFSD sounds like it is getting really close, to the point your commute might genuinely be 6 hours a day doing meetings and building PowerPoints in the car in the not-too-distant future.

Im trying to keep the poor guy at least a little optimistic……If 'not too distant future' means 10+ years. Just spend a few minutes reading through here: AI, Autopilot, & Autonomous/FSD
Lucid Air - 516 mile range, but $138,000. Should be an enjoyable commute, at least once. After 2-3 times this becomes a “what was I thinking?” exercise, at least for me.any other options? to do this long commute
Plenty of superchargers on that route.Yes. If your Model 3 LR is rated at 358 miles, you can do 200 miles driving conservatively in summer, but you might barely make it for sub-zero winter.
My rule of thumb is to get 100 more miles on the battery.
That means when I need to drive 200 miles, I won't leave until the battery gauge is 300.
In your case, you need a charger at work to fill it up to at least 300 miles for the 200-mile trip home.
Sounds good to me.
I would say Autopilot is good enough for highways.
FSD adds Navigation on Autopilot so it can change lanes on its own but I don't use it because it can make irrational lane changes. More work for me to monitor and correct its mistakes.

Some doctors drive from Los Angeles and Orange County to work in my small town (200 miles away.) Not daily, but maybe twice a week or just weekly on ICE.
Obviously better, and 3 nights in a hotel every week is fine for a season. It's very difficult for longer - I did it for an 18 month stretch very early in my career before I was married (actually while we were planning the wedding) but I don't think this is sustainable for much longer than that. It caused a lot of problems in my relationship with my very-understanding wife. It will drive you to develop two separate worlds - one at home and one during the days and evenings you're away. After awhile you'll develop some friendships away because nights in a hotel room alone are very lonely. For even the most communicative person, It's hard to describe the daily happenings with those unknown relationships to your wife. Knowing what I do now, if I had it to do over again, I would not do it. I still see this as a bad mid-to-long-term plan.Thank you for all the replies. I just talked to the hiring manager, he agrees that I can drive to Binghamton on Monday (arrive around noon), and rent a room in Binghamton, stay till Thursday noon, and drive back to canada to do the remote work on Friday. So basically,
Monday morning: Drive from Kingston to Binghamton 200 miles.
Tuesday: stay in Binghamton
Wednesday: Stay in Binghamton,
Thursday afternoon: drive back to canada
Friday: remote work in Canada
Saturday: in candada
Sunday: in canada
So, basically, two drives each week. 4 days in Binghamton, 3 days in Canada.
Is this sustainable? any comments?
"I used to do 375 miles on Monday, back on Thursday for a year. " How did you feel in that one year? Too much drive? tired? or it's ok? do you think it's sustainable for 20 more years? I may end up at the new job till retirement,It is sustainable, but you know it will suck in winter. AP is good enough, did thousands of miles on AP. I rented FSD and almost no benefit for me.
Tesla makes it an easier commute but I'd probably just buy a Prius Prime for that commute. AWD as well and better in the winter for efficiency.
I used to do 375 miles on Monday, back on Thursday for a year. Then I moved and drove 1100 miles every weekend (one way) while moving and did that for 6 months in a Ram truck while towing a trailer.
