Fred Lambert (@FredericLambert) Editor-in-Chief at ElectrekCo writes about a trip from Santa Monica to Las Vegas.
A long-distance trip in auto-pilot mode from LA to LV in Model 3, probably one of the best routes to drive in Model 3 as there are ample Tesla supercharges. But also the trip survived an accident. Model 3 fared well with just a few deep scratches on the bumper
Overall, we drove on Autopilot for about 10 hours with fewer than a dozen driver interventions, and we waited for charging for a total of zero minutes
