Hi Guys,
I'm from UK and I'm thinking of solo travel in USA for a period of 6 months and then another 6 months in Canada......thanks to option for working remotely - this approach seems feasible.
I'm picking up my Model Y next week and going to spend few weeks familiarising/hoping on EuroTunnel to do a weekend drive to France and back etc.
My plan is then to RoRo my Model Y to East Coast-USA - Baltimore. I will fly over and pick up my car from Baltimore (seems to be a lot cheaper to ship it over here rather than New York port) and set off on my 6 months road-trip/van-life equivalent across USA.
Thanks to camp mode and supercharging network, I think I will be okay sleeping and working out of the car and use the rest of the time visiting spots of interest in the great land. I will be working UK timings, so will have plenty of day-light in USA time left over to do the fun bits I hope !!!
Help needed:
1. Has anyone done this - i.e. ship your UK-Tesla over to USA ? - if you did please share details on what modifications you had to do to your car to make it compliant in USA (across all states)
2. Any potential issues UK-Tesla's could face in USA and how can I mitigate those risks ? (I'm thinking I need to get a whole bunch of power adapters : Type2+CCS -> USA_TeslaPlug, handful of Nema-adapters(need to learn what they are...)
3. What adapters/equipment do I need to be able to charge in camp-grounds where electrics are available
4. Ideal mobile-data-broadband setup to get (I work in Software industry), I'm thinking if I just sign-up for a good network that has best coverage across USA and use my mobile as hotspot that will do ??
5. Any adjustments I need to do to headlights of Tesla to make it work proper/legally compliant in USA - is this doable (switching over from RHS to LHS driving from UK to USA)
6. Any other technical issues I might face bringing over an UK-Tesla into USA ?
