Los Angeles to Las Vegas in Tesla Model 3 – the best road trip car

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

Charging Stops

• Yermo Supercharger station  (plugshare link)(100 miles added in 15 mins!)
• Baker Supercharger station  (plugshare link)
• Barstow Supercharger station (plugshare link)

Hotels

• Bellagio, Las Vegas – this hotel offers several charging stations and also part of Tesla’s destination charger network  (plugshare link)
