Tesla Model Y Road Trip AND We Drove It Like a Regular Car (Part 3)

**This is Part 3 (and Conclusion) of our Family Road Trip in a Tesla Model Y**
Can you take a Tesla Model Y on a road trip like a regular car? No complex planning, just pick the destinations and go. Using "A Better Route Planner" as the only tool, our family embarked on a 10-day road trip, traveled across eight states and covered more than 2,300 miles to prove this is indeed possible. We picked all the attractions, destinations and hotels without considering proximity to a Tesla or EV charger. Please join us on this trip, visit all the attractions we went to and witness first hand what's it like to road trip in a Tesla Model Y. The trip wasn't problem free, but it's much easier than we thought.
For anyone new to the Tesla world, here are a few things you'll need to know:
1. SoC = State of Charge = Battery Level.
2. ABRP = A Better Route Planner. This is a very popular 3rd party Tesla/EV route planner where you can enter waypoints when Tesla's navigation can't.
3. Charging Speed will decrease as your the SoC becomes higher. Sometimes it's faster make two stops charging to a lower SoC than a single stop to a higher SoC.
4. Most of our stops were based on what ABRP and/or Tesla navigation suggested.
5. We drove "normally" with highway speeds between 70 and 80 MPH. Feel free to ask any questions and I will either answer them in the comments or at the end of Part 3.
