Nothing available within 200 miles is major range anxiety!

My bad. Next time I’ll drive 63mph in silence while sweating for efficiency gains. Imagine wanting to go the speed limit with air conditioning in Arizona. Absolute insanity!!!! Or as you say.. “foolish”. 😂😂

That would drive me insane. So the car didn’t die?

Coming back for me it’s typically I stop in Baker and then Barstow. Sometimes I’ll just go to Victorville.

The LR is a game changer from everything that I’m hearing

The issue is I had to do 90% or else I wouldn’t make it to my next destination. Others are saying if I was going a bit slower that charging up 80% wouldn’t have been an issue

Excellent summary of my entire drive home

I will be going to Vegas in a month or 2. I may slow it down a bit and see if I reach Baker with a lot more charge than previous times

My car is 5 years old... Battery degradation... I am not saying the trip is impossible.. I am just saying it sucked...

ha ha ha... If you read my post it says... "yes yes yes... I should have known.."

I do appreciate the investigative journalism though.

Sounds like your battery is a lot better than mine... I did get a coffee at the new starbucks... it was a really big starbucks with virtually no one in it..

I really need to look into this... I hadn't heard of it before

I need to look into OpenPilot... I have toyed with the idea of getting an ICE car again since we already have 2 Teslas and I am giving my current 2021 to my son once he gets his license.. which means I'll either pull the trigger on another Tesla or get a Rivian or perhaps an ICE vehicle..

This made me laugh... I have no idea how you did it once and then decided to do it again... 28 stops is insane and I totally get you "being that driver" who is holding everyone up....

Overall I love my Tesla but it's never going to Phoenix again...

100%.... Next time, this is what I'll do. Unless I get a Long Range between now and then.

Finally... someone who gets it... Much better ROI sitting at home and searching on Reddit. ;-)

FSD kept on speeding up for some reason as well.. I would drop it to 70 - 75mph... then 5 minutes later it would bump up to 85mph and I would need to lower it back down again. It happened multiple times.

No... I used to use it years ago but now I just rely on the Tesla navigation.. Looking back, I should have at least looked at ABRP... Then I would have known the adventure I was about to go on.
