How I Plan my Family EV Roadtrips using PlugShare Trips!!!

[@DanBowler]

So after watching almost all your videos, I finally bought an Id.4, super super happy with it! Got the Awd pro s plus! 🎉 Your videos made me comfortable with charging and range anxiety (don't have more anxiety) and now Im getting ready to visit my grandkids 400 miles away and I planned it out easily after watching your videos. Thanks for making the transition to an EV easy to understand!

It would be interesting to see the ID.4 Nav planner vs. Plugshare vs. A better route planner side by side in a video.

Having owned two Tesla's since 2020 and being 72 years old we just enter a destination in the Nav and Tesla gets us there. Never had an issue. But I can see how folks want or need to micro-manage their trips.

We just did an id4 trip to Ok. ABRP listed the charging locations and amounts to charge. All EA found. Really surprises.

[@patrick7228]

I think ABRP now that Rivian is including their charger reliability scores is superior for this. What's up with your 2024 id 4? Got mine a few months ago and love it. AWD Pro S. Will be eventually traded for the R2 of course 🙂

Just waiting for some financial stars to align, the major depreciation hit is holding us back currently...

Does this show in the main display or do you to need to use a Phone?

What's planning in a Tesla? I can just go with 50% or 20% and just leave it doesn't require any plans.

[@theaverageev]

Tesla planning is great. It is not as accurate as it used to be with recent updates. I experienced that in the Model 3 LR refresh. The premise of this video is picking charging stops that are good for a family vacation, so knowing where they are in advance and choosing family friendly locations is important (at least to my family). The backside of a hotel with nothing around is not ideal... Side note, Tesla will route you to Version 2 chargers even when you might benefit more from a Version 3 charger.

@@theaverageev So you can avoid Superchargers in dangerous locations by using this Plugshare App?
