Yet, our Tesla Model Y was able to handle it all. With the versatility to drive in different weather and the amazing supercharging network, the Tesla Model Y truly is the ultimate family all-around SUV.

And also is good to swipe right on the music until you see the TPMS. On a long trip is good to know the tire pressure at all times. Especially when switching from 70F to 32F. Low pressure can also pop your tires. And the car is heavy, lots of pressure on the tires.

Ya, I grew up in the Wiggins, Fort Morgan, Brush area for over 15 years. To be fair, there really isn't a whole lot out in that area on the surface, but there are still some neat places. It's definitely a farming and ranching country. In Fort Morgan, they have a skydiving place called "Skydive orange skies" if you take Main Street to the north. You go past the swimming pool and the park and Rainbow bridge and follow that out. There are some pretty good restaurants on the south side of Fort Morgan like Cables, Chef's Da, Acapulco Bay, and Santiago's off of Platte Ave. But Maveriks Adventure Stop next door to the Hampton has some good breakfast food in the hot bar that I highly recommend next time you're in town or probably any maveriks. They've got breakfast bowls, breakfast burritos, breakfast pizzas. Oh, also, Peppy's Coffee next door to the Hampton is fantastic and arguably better than the Starbucks. One other place I recommend is Ben's Brick Oven Pizza or the Pepper Pod. They are both by the Love's at the Hudson exit on I-76, I think like exit 30 or 31. Rocky Mountain winters are no joke. Ive driven those roads and that stretch of I-70 many times and its not for the faint of heart.

We came the opposite way earlier this week (Idaho to NY). Stayed in North Platte. The Runzas are really nice. Coming home we were 1-2 hours ahead of the storms. This was the first time in our 30 years that my wife ever told me to "go faster." BUT - can you explain the charge rates in Nebraska? When I got home I saw for N. Platte-> (kWh x $) 4x.23+11x.45+10x.74+2x1.20 = 27 kWh for $15.67 or 55 cents/kWh. Lincoln NE was even worse came to 86 cents per kWh! WTF?! BTW you should have visited the Pony Express Museum in Gothenburg. The fellow working there was great and the stuff inside really cool.
@vegasteslafamily 2 ай бұрын
I wish we stopped in Gothenburg! 86 cents per kWh is crazy. Is that accurate? We have free supercharging so I didn’t even bother to look at costs
@civwar64bob77 2 ай бұрын
@@vegasteslafamily Oh I misread it. It looks like they charge by the minute, and I didn't write down how much I actually charged at each stop. The Lincoln, NE West O Street in the Navigator only says the rate is 0.23-1.25. My report says 2 minutes @ $0.47 per min + 8 mins at $0.76 + 4 @ $1.25. And cost me $12.02 so that was 86 cents per minute. OK, looking at the non-Nebraska chargers I was getting average 2kWh/minute on my Y/LR so I guess 43 cents per kWh. No explanation other than it is tier 1, 2, 3 charge rates. Ugh.

how much did it cost for the whole trip like for the superchargers like ik if you used gasoline cars it would be so much higher just want to know how much it cost for this long of a road trip for just charging the car throughout the trip
@vegasteslafamily 2 ай бұрын
So we had free supercharging for this trip, but last time we took this route about a year ago, we paid like $150-200. It depends on the time of day and rates, like if you were to overnight it you’d get much cheaper charging rates
