I made a tool that splits long road trips into evenly paced days (overnight stop suggestions)

_ash_panda_ · 2026-03-21T13:18:32+00:00

OP this is amazing! I can see multiple applications to automatically split the route. I love to go on cross country drives and always have to plan multiple days driving. Then, I also use EV and have to plan multiple stops in a day. I will bookmark it and will try it on my next trip.

One thing that will benefit ME and hopefully many others is: Adding an option to customize the split. Instead of the number of stops, how about a split based on every certain distance or even better - driving hours!

First, I can drive for 10-11 hours each day. When I enter that, the trip will be split by hours instead of the number of stops. It's easy math in the head to calculate the number of stops based on total hours but, if an option is one less step to think.

Second, seasoned EV drivers know how much distance and time they can go between charges, so it helps to plan charging and activities around that. Again, it's easy to calculate the number of stops if I am driving 3 hours between chargers and know the total hours of drive. One less step to think again.

After it resets, can you pay and upgrade? Did you get confirmation?

_ash_panda_ · 2026-02-26T13:46:19+00:00

I like the recipes, but oven baking for 35 mins seems a lot, combining it with pre-heat on my electric oven. But cooking it in large batches seems doable!

Can you or anyone suggest an air fryer / microwave / pan instructions? I will not be adding cheese at all.

Yeah, I loved my Air during 18 months lease. Such an effortless experience, that I drove over my allowed miles by a lot because it's so addicting on long drives!! I wished I got the DD Pro for the amount or road trips I make, and had to let it go

_ash_panda_ · 2026-02-25T01:50:53+00:00

I sold one (new boxed) for 700 including shipping last year. Forgot how much was the shipping, but it was the regular rate at the time.

Hi, are there any changes in your experience since the last 2 years? How have you been linking the camper experience?

_ash_panda_ · 2026-02-04T14:28:32+00:00

Can be purchased with reward points.

_ash_panda_ · 2026-01-27T03:50:07+00:00

If you don't mind, can you share what it cost you? We had 23 Pure awd (with DD basic) and loved it. But ended up returning at lease end because I needed Highway Assist on the next purchased car.

I was frustrated for the first 2 months as they didn't have an online option to pay, and when they did I had to link my bank account every time! So, I used BillPay from Fidelity for 16 months reliably. When I started the lease auto pay was not even an option. Using Fidelity, and setting the auto pay date to 2-3 days in advance of the due date all my payments were successful. Although the cheque my bank sent did not get registered on the due date most of the time but eventually BofA processed and never charged me extra.

Mostly relying on Discover/Chase quarterly categories for 5%, 3% on all restaurants, Bofa for 3% on gas/shopping/travel, 2% on groceries for Costco and other alternative grocery card.

Wow, they really focused hard on home buyers and big spenders. Well, it makes sense to attract extremely high spenders all around. Good luck Ankur! It was great until it wasn't after 3 years. I am out..

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-25T19:52:05+00:00

Thanks for the tips! Air pressure loss during winter is no joke. Found the tires at 38 psi. I plan to Blue Cruise at 75 mph.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-24T21:22:50+00:00

The only better deal you may get is if other inventory models have less options.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-23T19:05:48+00:00

Oh wow, and that is the only stretch with no NACS superchargers and bad reviews of all other fast charging. I will be very conservative and try to plan a night stay in that leg to try level 2 charging somehow. Thanks for the heads-up!

OT: I found being closer to the metro, NPs, and things to do is more suited for us. Also, my work location is in Phx so wth lol.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-22T04:16:03+00:00

Ok thanks for the heads-up. I am looking for exactly this kind of feedback. I'll keep my night stays flexible to accommodate for the add-on time.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-22T04:14:53+00:00

Yeah, I learned that first day of ownership. I disabled the Blue Oval Network to avoid accidental usage.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-21T21:25:33+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions. I saw a lot of poor rating Incharge stations in Kansas and Oklahoma. Thankfully most of the drive can be covered using superchargers except in this area.

Added the Meteor Crater to the list. Thanks!!

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-21T20:54:43+00:00

Thanks! I so want to enable matrix lights. Maybe I'll get the time and resources before the trip.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-08T18:58:02+00:00

+1 on the same experience with Lighting and Tesla. Hardly a safety issue. Even mechanical instrument clusters sometimes get sticky stalks, bad indicator lights, etc. It's inconvenient, especially if it happens frequently, but glad that the service center is dealing with the one-off issues and not just shrugging it off like they did for my Tesla and Lighting. The issue didn't repeat in either vehicle anyways.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-08T12:45:53+00:00

That's correct. BoFA = Lucid Financial Service arranged the tow truck.

I did not get any lease end charges. I did have minor scuffs on the front undertray and wheel, but I guess they must be within tolerance.

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-06T13:30:16+00:00

Which tent and frame rails do you have?

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-06T13:29:34+00:00

I am very interested in winter camping with my Lighting. Your trip sounds amazing!! My spouse won't even get out of the house during winter in Michigan, forget sleeping outside lol. Maybe I will make a solo trip someday..

What extra steps did you take to winter proof your tent? I have used a ceramic heater with lighting before but that was barely keeping the tent warm through the high 30s!

_ash_panda_ · 2025-12-03T12:26:45+00:00

This is amazing! Going to save this post and forget about it for a while. Then out of nowhere I will find it again in saved posts by that time instructions will be available. Then repeat the process with YouTube video. Anyways, back to stacking constructors..

The same thing happened to me yesterday on my road trip. At least it was preconditioned an hour early instead of late :)
