2013 Tesla Model S Coast-to-Coast Road Trip | Edmunds.com

My friend Dan Edmunds just completed a blitz from LA to NY in a Tesla Model S 85. Just two guys, one car, no support crew, no back ups.

3,332 miles

67 hours including stops to recharge, eat, pee, sleep, etc (averaged 50 mph including stops, 63 mph w/o)

$0 fuel/electricity cost (used free Tesla Superchargers)

38 minutes average re-charge time (also used to eat, pee, sleep, etc)

105.4 mpg equivalent average energy use (using equivalency of 33.4 kWh per gallon of gasoline)


So yes, it can and has been done several times now
