Tesla for long journeys
Discussion
Hi all,
Does anyone here use a Tesla (or other EV) for long and regular journeys? I'm close to taking an opt out from work which will enable me to buy a 2021/22 Model 3 LR (or potentially Model Y LR)
I'll be able to charge at home ok but I have a monthly M1 drive that is 215 miles each way (overnight in-between).
Fingers crossed we have a charging solution in the office, but if that fails, how reasonable would it be to assume that one leg of the journey would be fine just using the Tesla charging network.
Cost of the supercharger will be more than covered by my mileage rate, but I'm more concerned about speed and efficiency to charge as opposed to cost at this stage.
Would you / are you currently confident enough to do this on a fairly regular basis?
Thanks!

I do plenty of long trips on my YouTube channel. Top end of Scotland down to Kent with 2 stops. No problem. And you'd do a couple of stops on a trip that length with any fuel type.
Watched a couple of your videos today. Perfect in answering my question really. On my usual 215 trip I'll stop twice, so plugging in once or twice isn't a bother.JustGetATesla said:
