If you travel through rural areas without supercharging you can utilize RV Parks to charge overnight. We slept in the vault on a 4” air memory foam mattress. We didn’t see any rain so it was easy.

Long road trip... sounds like a lot of FUN! Besides the regular creature comforts, I know I would get a spare tire/rim, jack, take my powered torque wrench and tire flat repair kit for that one-time it's needed. Safe travels!

I also thought about getting an nema extension chord for the airbnb we are staying at, there are some destination chargers in the town but no superchargers. Wouldn’t be too concerned but I feel like I’ll leave sentry mode on for obvious reasons and I’m curious what the phantom drain will be like…

i did purchase the spare and have it all ready - do you have a particular repair kit you are partial to?

We always carry an iPad to watch for side trips

7 days free, but worth the price. We found a ton of things to see around chargers and slightly off our route.

Zoom in as you travel.

No, I just get what's available online or in-store. They're not expensive.

We take an electric kettle with us so we can make hot water for tea and coco while we Supercharge. Spare tire likes you said as well. I always pack some shop towels as well just in case something stupid happens like any entire tea is dumped out in the ride Air compressor of some kind air up tires. Have the NEMA adapter bundle in the ride at all times.

Have a variety USB cables. Take your key cards dDjust in case something silly happens to your phone that is a key.

For those hard to find Superchargers, find out information on locating same before arriving at same. It can be terrifying when you know it's there and fsd just can't seem to find.
Also, if you happen to night drive like myself, most of the supercharger close amenities will be closed. Pack accordingly!
