We bought a Red Tesla Long Range Model 3 in February 2018 (310 rated miles, we named her Scarlett because you have to name your Tesla).
It was our first electric vehicle, and, a year later, it became our ONLY vehicle.
We’ve encountered several people along the way asking the universal two questions: How do you like your car? (Love it. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. Will never go back to an ICE) and the second question: Yeah, you love it, but would you take it on a long road trip? (usually they’re thinking 700 miles or so).
The answer to that last question is a resounding “yes!” In fact, we’ve taken our Model 3 on numerous road trips ranging from 1,200 to over 3,000 miles.
No issues. No problems. Easy.
So I wanted to share this latest trip with those of you that may be on the fence about road tripping in an EV.
Here we go!
Passing from Eugene, our home, through Sisters on the first leg of our trip, we stopped at High Camp Taphouse. We always stop at High Camp. They have Himalayan and Nepalese food that is incredible. It now has joined Sisters Coffee as one of our “must stop” places when we travel this direction.
Also, High Camp is right across the street from the Sisters Library, which has free Level 2 charging (thank you, City of Sisters!). So we plug in, eat, walk down to coffee and get some extra miles added for free.
PLUS, we ran into one of my business partners whose family rode their bikes along the Old McKenzie Highway! Tomorrow: Redmond and Smith Rock.
