This spring, writer and filmmaker Brendan Leonard embarked on a classic western road trip with his girlfriend in the new, all-electric Tesla Model X. They spent five days traveling from Denver to Zion, stopping to ski at A-Basin, climb in Telluride, and camp in Monument Valley. Their added challenge: finding enough charging stations along the route to fuel an electric car. Watch for an inside look at their lithium-powered journey across the West.

6:14 - that is insane. The colors look so vivid and saturated. Amazing. I gotta visit Utah for sure.

We have camped in our Model S a few times actually sleeping in the car in 90 degree heat overnight. To keep the AC on we like the "Camper for Tesla" app or you can do the parking brake in neutral trick. Overnight we used about 20 miles of range to keep the cabin 70 degrees.

Wow. That's amazing. Imagine if Tesla could make a van with 350 miles of range and decent performance (and for less than 50k) people would be all over it...

HandFedMole, actually for that to work, the range would have to be at least 600 miles. That's when it starts to make sense!

We charged our X at that charger at Zion last time we were there too, it's great. Costs $5 for the code but totally worth it because we got a great parking spot while all the regular spots were full. I wish more parks would offer charging spots like that.

I'm trying to make a road trip from TX to Montana and I thought "I wish I had a Tesla for nothing more than the assisted drive options". But I also was looking at rental prices and it's average $500 a day, not to mention having to plan around charging stations. Its a shame car manufacturers are so far behind in available tech compared to Tesla.

Holy crap I think I know what Tesla would do with the Semi trucks. It's nothing new but they'd simply play a game of relay racing. Self-driving semi drives to fully charged self-driving semi and automatically undocks it's payload while the fully charged semi is summoned and takes the payload to the destination. Truckers do this now anyway with conventional semi trucks. Charging would take maybe 2hrs on a supercharger for something that big. So the increments would be staggered merely at 2hrs apart. Guys thinking they will lose their job to EV trucks is crazy, not in our or the next lifetime, will they? However, chances are your role would change to Tesla tech support and troubleshooter. The thing is they'd be able to drop off those loads far easier with, truck to trailer tracking, meaning you'd have fewer errors of finding your load in a truck stop. This would also make deliveries more predictable and faster.

When you have cancer, you don't have the luxury of "KILLING Time" waiting to charge to get where you want to go. This convince me not to buy an EV.
