The challenge: Drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles in my 2021 Model 3 Standard Range Plus stopping only ONCE to supercharge.
2021 Model 3 SR+ Fully Charged Range: 259 miles
Distance to LA: 342 miles
This is my first time making the SF (technically, East Bay) to LA trip in my Model 3 SR+, but if you've done it you know that Tesla recommends TWO supercharger stops, which is the smarter option. But I was in a hurry, and one stop would theoretically save me time, so I had to try it. Did I make it, or did I have to call Tesla roadside assistance for a tow? Watch the video to find out!
Trip summary (spoiler alert!):
Miles traveled: 342
Range used: 485 miles
Range efficiency: 71%
Supercharger stops: 1 (Kettleman City)
Supercharger cost: $17.32
Charge time: 50 minutes
Charged battery from: 2% to 95%
Battery charge on arrival in LA: 5%
While I did make it, as you'll see in the video I BARELY made it to the supercharger, and the whole drive was frankly pretty stressful. On the way back I did the Tesla recommended 2 stops, charged from 20-80% each time, and actually saved 10 minutes (and a lot of stress) doing this, so it's the way to go!
