Thanks to R & W for their hospitality and directions to Barstow. Yes, my Tesla has a huge map, but I do not have the tech package that provides the directions. So, I read the map and refer to mapquest. No, I do not have a gps and remember that my phone is a flip phone. I must admit that I entered the 101 freeway going north. The Tesla map alerted me immediately of that so I turned around at the very next exit.
Now for the numbers. odometer at West Hills 15,435. Range available 203 mile thanks to the drier outlet in the garage! Departure at 11:15 am after a relaxing visit with my friends. Good to see their garden. I even fit 2 pieces into the jigsaw puzzle before my exit.
The drive to Barstow was mostly through desert. A few slow spots were encountered due to construction. Thankfully there is sports radio to listen to! I arrived in Barstow at 1:45pm at 15,577 (142 miles for the leg). 70 miles of range remained. The Barstow supercharger is at The Country Inn & Suites. So, I used the restroom, had a cookie with ice water, and watched a bit of the world cup. Still no score. On to Vegas!
Temp. @ 100 right now in Vancouver, WA. Just finished watching USA lose. But valiant effort. Leaving for British Columbia Thursday morning, a 6 hr drive from here.
Take care.
Just drove past Mojave desert with temp of 118!! Thankfully the car temp stayed at 70 degrees. I will think about you while I am driving on Thursday… wherever that will be. Safe travels, FT
Hi,
I’m about to get a model 3 and was wondering if you are still offering to participate in the 1000 free miles deal. I’m the first of my friends to get a Tesla.
Please keep providing the great information.
Thanks
