Having logged over 60,000 miles in the past two years with my Model S, I figured my upcoming journey from Boston to Tampa Bay, Florida would be a pretty routine run-of-the-mill Tesla road trip, but soon found out that I still had plenty more lessons to learn when it came to long distance travel. Update/Note: I realized after I saw a number of comments to this post that I neglected to mention that I didn't use Autopilot for any of this trip. ![]() I M Publishing here Mobile secret Codes,Most of them will work and are updates according to best of my knowledge.Enjoy the extensive collec. My Model S, an April 2014 build, sadly doesn't have the hardware or capability. The trip would have taken the same time with Autopilot but would likely have had some other kinds of experiences to share (good and bad i'm sure). Trip Routing Before embarking on my road trip, I mapped out my entire drive using which indicated that the drive from Boston, MA to Tampa, FL would take approximately 20 hours. Google factors in traffic and speed of travel, but doesn't add any time to refuel, eat, etc. If you're adventurous you can simply hop in your Tesla, input your destination address into the onboard Nav without much planning and begin driving. The Tesla navigation system will guide you to your destination while making use of Superchargers along the way. If you get tired you can always find a hotel, take a pit stop and then carry on the next day. For many of us, this casual and unplanned approach to a lengthy trip isn't always ideal. We want to know where we'll be staying the night and know we'll have a bed in a nice hotel that offers food at the time we'll be arriving at. Doing the preparation while sitting in front of your Tesla navigation screen could be frustrating. And if you want to add a stop somewhere along the way, forget it, Tesla doesn't support that. Also, beware the onboard Tesla trip planner can be steadfast in its ways. For instance it flat out refused to route us through a convenient charger in Paramus, NJ because of a temporarily “Closed” Supercharger. This had us quite concerned as we were already pretty committed to going in that direction. A quick call to the Tesla store at that charger site revealed that theres nothing wrong with the charger. Evidently the charging speeds are slow after 10pm due to some ongoing battle between Tesla and the local power company. As a result power at the Supercharger station is limited at night. But as long as we were visiting before 10pm we were clear to use the charger. This type of information needs to be conveyed to drivers. Fortunately there's a site that helps with some of the planning called. ![]() This site will help perform similar calculations on what charging stops are needed along the way and also allows you to add waypoints if you want to stop at specific locations outside of Tesla Superchargers.

Calculating Driving Time First Model X seen in the wild at Lumberton, NC Supercharger At the time I planned the trip, EVTripPlanner did not have the ability to track charging times. Though I knew that had to factor in the amount of time spent at each charger before computing my total drive time, I severely underestimated the amount of time needed for charging. EVTripPlanner has since added the feature to take into account charging times. If you take a look at the app now for the same route, EVTripPlanner will tell you that charging will add and additional 8 hours and 48 minutes of charging through a combined 11 Supercharger stops along the way. Your 21 hour drive turns into a 30 hour drive. This backs into an increase of time spent by 43%. When I did the math myself I used an average of 30 minutes per stop. The problem with that approach is somewhere along the way I did the math wrong and things didn't add up right.
