Tesla MYLR owner here. Love tesla roadtrips. Drove from Toronto to San Fran ) then north to Port Angeles- took ferry to Victoria, spent 5 nites in Tofino - before driving back east along the trans Canada highway to Toronto. Total distance 11500km. Best trip ever. No charging worries/issues whatsoever. Keep tripping!

[@EverydayChris]

Yeah! Awesome!

How much do you assume you paid for the whole trip in terms of charging?

Been driving my 2015 model S85 D from LA to vegas. Never had any range anxiety. You can stop at Barstow, Yermo, Baker, Primm and several areas in Vegas. Autopilot is the biggest advantage for the long drive. Much less fatigue than driving a regular car.

[@EverydayChris]

I agree

[@captaingish]

I’m planning a trip from Irvine to Vegas in a ‘18 S 75D, please advise on the best way to supercharge. I’m a little nervous about the 250 ish range. We would like to stop at Eddy’s world which would be the Yermo super charger. Would I make it if I start at 100% charge from Irvine. And also which is the best way on the way back? Thanks!

[@10melvis]

@@captaingish just put in your destination and the car will let you know when to charge. I usually stop at eddy's world then at primm so I will have a full charge in vegas. With a Tesla no real worries because you have so many supercharging options. Just enjoy your trip.

Thanks 10melvis, I will do that!

I think the light on top of those masts are actually collectors of sun rays bounced up from the mirrors on the ground to the top of the mast where the collector is. I've not seen those live but read about them so I may be totally wrong here but that's what it looks like. Cheers and drive safely and enjoy Zion.

The reflective light, hits a concentration point at the top (why its glowing), that gets to 3000 degrees and then creats steam which turns gears below which makes electricity, kinda like hydroelectric power works.
