1. Cross-Country USA in a Model 3 – “26 States in 30 Days”

A couple from Florida decided to take their Tesla Model 3 Long Range on a 30-day adventure across 26 U.S. states. They relied entirely on Tesla’s Supercharger network and documented their journey on YouTube.

• Distance Covered: ~10,000 miles

• Highlights:

  • Autopilot made highway driving less exhausting.

  • Saved money by using free Supercharging promotions at some locations.

  • Explored national parks, using campgrounds with Tesla-friendly outlets for overnight charging.

2. Tesla Model S 100D – “From Netherlands to South Africa”

A Dutch couple embarked on an 18-month journey from the Netherlands to Cape Town, South Africa, in their Tesla Model S.

• Distance Covered: ~25,000 miles

• Challenges & Triumphs:

  • Few Superchargers in Africa, so they relied on slower chargers and even solar power in remote areas.

  • Had to modify their route due to political instability in some regions.

  • Proved that long-distance EV travel is possible even in developing countries with limited infrastructure.

3. Model X Family Road Trip – “Canada to Mexico with Three Kids”

A family of five took their Tesla Model X from Vancouver, Canada, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

• Distance Covered: ~3,500 miles round-trip

• Key Takeaways:

  • Falcon-wing doors were a lifesaver when loading kids in tight parking spots.

  • Used campgrounds with RV plugs for overnight charging.

  • Autopilot helped reduce driver fatigue during long stretches.

4. Tesla Model Y – “48 States in 48 Days”

A solo traveler set out to visit all 48 contiguous U.S. states in 48 days in a Tesla Model Y.

• Distance Covered: ~14,000 miles

• Observations:

  • Superchargers were abundant along interstates but required some planning in rural areas.

  • Slept in the car using “Camp Mode,” which kept climate control on overnight.

  • The trip cost less than a gas-powered road trip due to lower charging costs.

5. Around the World in a Tesla Model 3 – “Global EV Adventure”

While not yet completed, a team is attempting to circumnavigate the globe in a Tesla Model 3, relying on a mix of Superchargers, destination chargers, and portable charging solutions.

Common Lessons from Tesla Road Trips:

✅ Autopilot is a game-changer – Reduces fatigue on long drives.
✅ Superchargers make it easy – Fast charging means less downtime than expected.
✅ Overnight charging at hotels/campgrounds – Lets you wake up with a “full tank.”
✅ Planning is key – Apps like PlugShare and A Better Routeplanner help in areas with fewer chargers.
