700 miles in a day

[eousphoros]

I just drove from California to Idaho in a day for a total of about 700 miles. This truck is a great road warrior.

It would have only been three stops to charge but the sc in lovelock Nevada was on the fritz and only spit out 32kw so limped up to winnemucca and finally mcdermitt for the last leg.

Made it to my destination after about 12 hours on the road + charging with 30% charge left. Survived rain storms, a blizzard, and slush without any difficulties other then the wind shield wiper wanting to fold in half when I was going over 80 and that 114 mph limiter was super annoying for passing people in the 80 mph zones.

Thanks for the post. What were your miles per hour charge rate at V3 chargers between 20 and 80 SOC?

Pretty on par to the charging curves posted elsewhere, tho there is some weirdness when starting a charge below 20%. It would get stuck at around 72~. I found if you stop charging a few minutes after you hit 20% and let things reset for a few seconds and hit start charging again it would zoom up to the full 250.

super interesting re the 72 kw funniness. gosh I wish they would give us auto lane centering. i would drag the family out next weekend...and the weekend after...and the weekend after...

This is the first road trip I've done in probably 5 years that didn't have auto lane keeping of some sort. The zen like focus required for multi hour sprints is so exhausting vs having that functionality to some degree.

I feel ya, wasn't originally planning to do a road trip like this without it but the stars aligned with work & personal life and who am I to spit in adventures face given the opportunity!

TACC should keep you centered in lane and measured Cybertruck lengths (which you set in the vehicles) on trips except when you need to change lanes

No, that's autosteer/autopilot. TACC is just speed control, based on the traffic ahead of you. "Traffic Aware Cruise Control".

Autosteer/autopilot has not rolled out to the trucks yet.
